CeBIT will be the staging ground for VCON to hold the first public demonstration of the company’s recently introduced line of High-Definition group conferencing solutions. The HD products are characterized by cutting edge video quality combined with advanced feature sets and unmatched price performance. This will also be the first public display of VCON’s IGC 2000, a unique audio conferencing bridge that simulates the environment of everyone being in the room at the same time. With the introduction of the IGC 2000, VCON now offers a full portfolio of conferencing solutions to address a variety of requirements for audio and video conferencing and collaboration.

“CeBIT, the world’s most influential technology tradeshow, provides us with the perfect staging ground to publicly unveil the impressive video quality of our new High-Definition group systems” said Yair Shamir, CEO, VCON. “When combined with our industry-leading networking solutions, VCON provides a complete conferencing product line that we are confident will be very well received by the attendees.”

In addition to the new HD products, VCON will also be showing the VCB 2000, a multipoint conferencing bridge with embedded scheduling and conference moderation. VCON’s SecureConnect solution for firewall/NAT traversal and encryption will be featured along with experts who will discuss firewall traversal of videoconferencing on private networks. VCON’s The Media Xchange Manager® (MXM) will be the gatekeeper and management system controlling the network in the booth and vPointTM will be the highlighted desktop conferencing client.

Many of the products shown at CeBIT have been released by VCON in the past six months, demonstrating a rapid expansion in the area of rich media conferencing. As the conferencing markets (audio, video, data) blend and merge together, VCON is prepared with a full range of integrated conferencing products that provide the end user with a complete solution for their rich media network.

In a related announcement, VCON will be jointly demonstrating a new solution, Voice+ in Thomson’s booth, Hall 27, Booth A28, along with MATERNA Information and Communications.
