=0D=0AThe TANDBERG Quick Set C20 provides absolute quality in a compact,=
scalable, affordable, plug-and-play solution=0D=0A=0D=0ANEW YORK and OSLO,=
Norway (June, 17 2009) - Small and medium sized businesses (SMBs) will=
lead the economic recovery in large part due to their ability to be more=
nimble and responsive to opportunities. Today, TANDBERG announced that=
in an effort to help SMBs gain a competitive edge, the company has unveiled=
the=0D=0A=0D=0ATANDBERG Quick Set C20=0D=0A[http://www.tandberg.com/products/video_systems/tandberg-codec-c20-package.jsp?cid=3D04US060027001]=
=0D=0A=0D=0A, the first-of-its-kind 1080p video conferencing solution designed=
specifically to meet the=0D=0A=0D=0Aunique needs of SMBs=0D=0A[http://tandberg.com/vcb/start-small-and-grow.jsp?cid=3D04US060027001]=
=0D=0A=0D=0A. Now, implementing high-quality, easy-to-use visual communications=
solutions, or expanding existing solutions, is simple and affordable without=
compromising on quality.=0D=0A=0D=0A”TANDBERG predicts that SMBs will recover=
faster than many larger companies and we plan to help them succeed,” said=
Fredrik Halvorsen, CEO, TANDBERG. “We are very excited to introduce the=
TANDBERG Quick Set C20 as the first offering of its kind - providing absolute=
quality video at a price point within the reach of smaller businesses.=
With 1080p team video conferencing, small and medium sized companies are=
able to appear larger. Video enables a lean staff to increase customer=
face time and reduce travel expenses; recruit top talent no matter where=
they are located; and build a culture around collaboration which will help=
SMBs adapt to changing realities. There’s no doubt that the most innovative=
and productive SMBs of today will be the large corporations of tomorrow.”=
=0D=0A=0D=0AComprising 90% of the world’s workforce, SMBs are focused now=
more than ever on innovative ways to leverage opportunities and reduce=
operating costs. By eliminating the need for travel - whether a six hour=
flight to meet with a customer, or one hour spent in traffic traveling=
to a local office - the Quick Set C20 helps reduce costs and improve productivity,=
while bringing together employees, customers, remote experts and suppliers=
to make faster, smarter decisions - all with an immediate return on investment.=
=0D=0A=0D=0AIn the past, smaller businesses dismissed video conferencing=
as a technology for larger global corporations, but that’s no longer the=
case. TANDBERG customer=0D=0A=0D=0ASwanke Hayden Connell Architects=0D=0A[http://www.tandberg.com/collateral/customer_success_stories/Case=

=0D=0A, a firm with a staff of 350, cut costs and increased productivity=
with team video conferencing. “Video conferencing means we can truly work=
across boundaries to collaborate on projects. It’s a huge boon for productivity=
and I wish we’d done it sooner,” said David Hughes, CEO, Swanke Hayden=
Connell Architects.=0D=0A=0D=0A”SMBs are increasingly becoming remote,=
heightening their need for effective conferencing solutions to carry on=
normal business operations. Video conferencing, while very effective, has=
traditionally required expensive equipment and resources, making it uneconomical=
for this group,” said Roopam Jain, Principal Analyst - Conferencing & Collaboration,=
Frost & Sullivan. “The TANDBERG Quick Set C20 is unique in that it provides=
a plug-and-play high-definition video conferencing solution at an attractive=
price point that is easy to install; a requirement for many SMBs who have=
limited IT resources. Moreover, the high-quality visual and audio experience,=
coupled with the ability to get enhanced features through a simple software=
upgrade instead of requiring new expensive hardware makes the Quick Set=
C20 a great value for SMBs.”=0D=0A=0D=0AThe TANDBERG Quick Set C20 is a=
complete visual communication package that includes a TANDBERG Codec C20,=
a high-resolution 1080p30 camera with 4x zoom, a remote control and a microphone.=
The system can be plugged into any high definition display for immediate=
video conferencing capabilities. In just five simple steps users connect=
the 1) camera, 2) display, 3) power, 4) network and 5) microphone and are=
ready to connect face-to-face with colleagues, customers, and suppliers=
anywhere in the world.=0D=0A=0D=0AThe TANDBERG Quick Set C20plus is an=
enhanced offering that comes with a 12x zoom camera and the ability to=
select 1080p30 or 720p60 modes. Both Quick Set C20 packages have the ability=
to support dual screens for enhanced multi-media sharing and are supported=
