=0D=0A=0D=0A, making scalable, DVD-quality video on every desktop a reality.=
Designed to replace the standard office phone, the E20 provides a superior=
quality video experience combined with CD quality audio to enable face-to-face=
collaboration from any desk.=0D=0A=0D=0AAccording to a recent study by=
the International Association of Business Communicators, direct, face-to-face=
communication practices are the most valuable for building employee engagement=
and increasing productivity. Yet the expanding global and remote workforce=
makes in-person communications challenging and expensive. With the E20,=
organizations can affordably connect all employees face-to-face from their=
desks, no matter where they are located, enabling instant knowledge sharing=
and collaboration to drive innovation and productivity.=0D=0A=0D=0AThe=
superior quality, scalability and design of the E20 has set a new industry=
standard. With its ability to integrate into any unified communications=
platform, the E20 enables everyone in an organization to easily and securely=
connect face-to-face over business-quality video. They also have access=
to familiar telephony features such as call transfer, message waiting and=
call forwarding, as well as quick keys for access to advanced IP phone=
and video services. The E20 has a 10.6 inch LCD widescreen coupled with=
a five-megapixel high-resolution camera for users to clearly see facial=
expressions and read body language. The camera is positioned at eye-level=
to provide a head-on image that eliminates the “nose view” typical of other=
video phones currently available. Moreover, users can seamlessly switch=
to audio-only when the need arises, with an ultra wideband 20 kHz speaker=
phone and 10 kHz handset.=0D=0A=0D=0A”In these challenging times, organizations=
that continue to innovate will come out ahead. Collaboration is paramount=
to innovation, and companies can’t afford the misunderstandings that often=
arise from audio-only communication or the costs and lost productivity=
that result from travel,” said Fredrik Halvorsen, CEO, TANDBERG. “With=
the E20, employees at all levels and locations can stay visually connected=
from their desks, bringing together expertise from anywhere to drive efficiencies=
and speed decision making. This is=0D=0A=0D=0AThe New Way of Working=0D=0A[http://www.tandberg.com/our_story/index.jsp?elq=3D63127976FAA543DEA9DC303679F5B356]=

=0D=0A=0D=0Aendpoint. This means no matter where a person is located, with=
the E20 he or she can be face-to-face with their team in a conference room,=
with a colleague on another continent, or with the CEO in a telepresence=
meeting, all without leaving their desk. What’s more, its large screen=
and superior quality camera will ensure it’s a great experience.=0D=0A=
=0D=0A”Visual unified communications and collaboration speeds decision-making=
and improves productivity for enterprises,” said Nancy Gofus, Senior Vice=
President-Business Products for Verizon. “By employing a high-quality video-enabled=
IP phone like the E20, businesses and government agencies can experience=
a greater return on investment from their existing IP connections and begin=
to make desktop video conferences as common as joining an audio conference=
call.”=0D=0A=0D=0A”With the E20, TANDBERG is breaking down the barriers=
to mass adoption of video by bringing the superior video quality and interoperability=
for which the company is known to a scalable and easy-to-use personal video=
application,” said Andrew W. Davis, Sr. Partner, Wainhouse Research. “We=
are going to see video become an expected part of the work environment=
- much like email is today. Video will be integrated into our daily workflow=
and organizations will learn quickly that video is something they cannot=
afford to be without.”=0D=0A=0D=0AThe TANDBERG E20 is now shipping and=
can be seen demonstrated at VoiceCon in Orlando, FL from March 30-April=
