Leading German Distributor for Communication Technology Drives the Expansion of Vidyo‘s Partner Network
Munich, November 23, 2010 – COMM-TEC, German specialist in communication technologies, and Vidyo, the first company to deliver personal telepresence, have concluded a distribution agreement, effective immediately, in which COMM-TEC will distribute Vidyo’s full range of product offerings.
“Vidyo’s patented technology delivers telepresence-quality video conferences over general purpose IP networks and is thus paving the way to professional multipoint conferences for small and medium sized businesses,” said Carsten Steinecker, Managing Director Business Development, COMM-TEC. “Cost-efficient packages, comprehensible pricing models, user friendliness and compatibility with existing systems make Vidyo’s solutions interesting for businesses of this size as well.”
“The indirect distribution channel is very important to us,” said Eric Le Guiniec, General Manager EMEA at Vidyo. “Our new distribution partner, COMM-TEC, is a renowned communication and multimedia specialist. Together, we want to inspire more qualified ITC resellers for Vidyo’s technology and continue to expand the distribution network as well as support for resellers.”
Vidyo‘s technology approach
Vidyo’s patented architecture delivers the first – and only available – videoconference solution based on the H.264/Scalable Video Coding (SVC) video compression standard. The open standard enables a video stream to be broken into multiple resolutions, quality levels and bit rates. The system adapts to the available bandwidth and eliminates disruptive delays in image and sound transmission by reducing the so-called latency to a barely perceptible level. Using this method, the technology patented by Vidyo ensures a high level of resilience without requiring an expensive Multipoint Control Unit (MCU), the central component of legacy systems. Vidyo’s architecture enables videoconferencing over IP networks like the internet and over 3G and 4G mobile networks. Because Vidyo’s solution is software-based, it can be easily expanded, upgraded and customized to meet the individual or industry-specific needs of businesses. Vidyo’s portfolio spans a full range of desktop solutions from the PC or MAC to room systems.
