Teliris, the leading provider of lifelike videoconferencing systems, announced it will expand its U.S.-based capabilities with construction of a new video network operations center, R&D lab, and demonstration facility in New York.

The new facility, to be built at 369 Lexington Ave., will mirror Teliris' state-of-the-art U.K. center, which provides a 24/7 remote management, problem detection, and resolution service for customers of the company's GlobalTable videoconferencing systems. The U.S. video network operations center will support the firm's growing base of customers, who rely on GlobalTable's 99-plus percent technical reliability guarantee.

The U.S. facility will include a research and development lab dedicated to the growth of next generation, video-based collaboration technologies. Additionally, a demonstration area will enable prospects to experience GlobalTable's CD-quality audio, DVD-quality images, and multi-screen Virtual Vectoring room configuration. Virtual Vectoring maximizes the location of cameras, microphones, speakers, and screens, as well as manages, the electronic placement of images and their associated sound across many locations so people appear and sound as they would in an in-person meeting.

Together, Teliris' technologies replicate a highly realistic "eye-to-eye" interaction among participants at multiple sites, who are able to collaborate as if they were meeting around the same table. Companies employing GlobalTable report they operate more efficiently across geographic regions and time zones, eliminating the need for costly, unproductive long-distance travel. More importantly, because of the lifelike experience across multiple locations, companies are able to make decisions faster and resolve problems when they occur, rather than waiting until people can gather from distant locations to interact in person.

"This new facility underscores our commitment to U.S. customers and enhances our ability to provide a highly reliable, lifelike videoconferencing solution virtually anywhere in the world," says Marc Trachtenberg, co-founder and CTO.
