Executives Experience Highest Resolution Video Available and =
Scandinavian Design at Its Best

NEW YORK and OSLO, Norway, June 16, 2008 =
- TANDBERG (OSLO: TAA.OL), a leading global provider of telepresence, high-definition (HD) =
video conferencing and mobile video solutions, today unveiled the =
TANDBERG T1, a new standards-compliant system for instant telepresence. =
The single large display offers the highest video resolution available =
while the slim Scandinavian design makes it ideal for ad hoc =
telepresence meetings in executive offices and small meeting rooms.

With the TANDBERG T1 telepresence solution, meeting participants feel =
they are at the same table, no matter where they are located. To achieve =
this true-to-life experience, a single 65-inch, 1080p LCD screen works =
in tandem with a PrecisionHD 1080p camera, inverted to bring the camera =
closer to the screen for direct eye contact. The T1 is =
standards-compliant, making calls with other standards-compliant systems =
simple.

“As the number of companies adopting telepresence-capable systems =
increases, so does the need for seamless interoperability,” said Andrew =
W. Davis of Wainhouse Research. “A system like the TANDBERG T1 can =
provide the high-quality telepresence experience while also leveraging =
existing telepresence and video conferencing investments.”

Influenced by their cultural heritage, TANDBERG’s engineers used =
Scandinavian design elements to create a simple, clean, inviting =
product. The innovative design is complemented by clear and simple =
on-screen dialing and directory choices, and easy PC collaboration =
capability. In keeping with TANDBERG’s commitment to the environment, =
the T1 operates at a considerably lower than expected power consumption =
level.

“When we designed the TANDBERG T1, we tried to comply with the new =
design standards we have implemented at TANDBERG: premium, easy to use, =
easy on the eye, simple and appealing,” said Torkel Mellingen, TANDBERG =
Product Design Engineer. “We wanted to use our Scandinavian design =
approach to portray meeting participants in the best possible way.”

The TANDBERG T1 is the company’s first telepresence system to =
incorporate the new TANDBERG Codec C90, a standards-compliant =
telepresence engine that enables 1080p resolution. Participants can =
interact and collaborate with colleagues from multiple locations in High =
Definition (HD) resolution while sharing rich media also in HD.

The TANDBERG Codec C90 Telepresence Engine is also available to =
integrators as a standalone product, features professional-grade =
connectors including 12 HD video inputs, four HD video outputs, and a =
built-in audio mixer with 16 audio inputs and eight audio outputs. With =
the flexibility to connect multiple sources, integrators building out a =
boardroom or other room environment no longer have to outsource mixers, =
video switchers or translators. The Codec C90 interfaces easily with =
standard auditorium systems without compromising audio quality.

“Telepresence is changing the way our customers collaborate on a =
global scale. To serve the growing adoption of telepresence, we have =
extended our total solution from room-based telepresence, to personal =
telepresence and now to instant telepresence and a telepresence engine,” =
said Fredrik Halvorsen, TANDBERG CEO. “Through our commitment to =
standards-compliance, our telepresence portfolio is helping to unify =
organizations and put an end to telepresence as an island.”

The TANDBERG T1 and Codec C90 will ship in October 2008. For more =
