Fuze Telepresence Connect Lets Android Tablet Users Initiate and Join Multi-System Telepresence Sessions With a Single Click

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov 17, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- FuzeBox, Inc., a global leader in real time visual collaboration applications, today announced that its groundbreaking Fuze Telepresence Connect solution is now available for use on Android tablet PCs -- including the latest devices from Acer, Asus, Motorola, Samsung, Toshiba, LG and other suppliers -- as well as PCs and Macs.

Until recently, high-end immersive video conferencing has been limited to executive boardrooms and expensive telepresence suite end points, with limited ability to communicate between different vendors' products. Fuze Telepresence Connect, however, enables "one-click" interoperability between Polycom, Tandberg, LifeSize and other leading telepresence systems. Thanks to its integration with FuzeBox's popular Fuze Meeting video conferencing and collaboration software, high-definition video and audio streams from multiple telepresence systems can be combined into a single meeting accessible not only by Android tablets, but by virtually any mobile device or computer.

"We continue to expand the remarkable cross-platform capabilities of Fuze Telepresence Connect and Fuze Meeting to work with the widest possible variety of devices and operating systems," said Fuzebox CEO Jeff Cavins. "Whether you use a Mac or a PC, an iPad or Android tablet or even a smartphone, our products allow you to be part of the conversation wherever you find yourself."

Worldwide spending on telepresence and video conferencing equipment has been growing by more than 30 percent annually according to market researcher Infonetics Research, which expects the market to reach $5.4 billion annually by 2015. But while other vendors' telepresence offerings can cost millions of dollars, the Fuze Telepresence Connect solution costs far less, while also allowing users to leverage their existing computers and mobile devices.
