RADVISION(R) Announces General Availability of
Revolutionary New Desktop Video Conferencing Solution
Monday June 18, 7:00 am ET
SCOPIA(TM) Desktop Extending Room System Video Conferences to Any Remote User
with a PC and an Internet Connection to be Showcased at InfoComm 07
ANAHEIM, Calif. & TEL AVIV, Israel--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RADVISION
(Nasdaq: RVSN - News), a leading provider of video network infrastructure and
developer tools for unified visual communications over IP, 3G, and emerging
next-generation IMS networks, today announced the general availability of its
SCOPIA Desktop video conferencing solution - an important extension of the
SCOPIA unified communications platform.
SCOPIA Desktop extends room system based video conferencing deployments by
allowing remote users to connect to conferences and fully participate in audio,
video, and data collaboration as if they were in the same room. SCOPIA Desktop
uses a freely distributable Web-based plug-in that can be used by anyone inside
or outside the enterprise firewall. SCOPIA Desktop makes it easy to connect to
and fully participate in meetings no matter where users are - at their desk, at
a customer location, or in a hotel in another part of the world; further
extending one of the SCOPIA platform's missions to easily connect any
communications device anywhere.
Traditional video conferencing users have benefited from the value of voice,
video and data collaboration between conference rooms, but there has been no
simple way to include users at their desktops or remote users on laptops that
did not involve complex software installations, expensive licensing fees or
firewall traversal problems. SCOPIA Desktop eliminates these issues.
SCOPIA Desktop Highlights:
o Delivers a high quality interactive video collaboration experience
from a PC
o Provides face-to-face communication to conferencing room systems that
is as easy as Web conferencing
o Accessed through a freely distributed browser plug-in so anyone,
anywhere can participate in a conference
o Includes automatic and transparent firewall traversal for users
outside the enterprise network
o Offers the same experience for all participants, whether connected
from a conference room or a PC
o Enables data collaboration interoperability via H.239 with room
systems
o Provides conference broadcasting via streaming to large audiences,
including both PC and Mac users
o Is centrally managed and deployed for remote users eliminating IT
administration headaches
RADVISION will be exhibiting a broad range of advanced video solutions including
SCOPIA Desktop and High Definition (HD) video conferencing capability at
InfoComm 07, June 19-21, Anaheim Convention Center, Anaheim, California, booth
4643 in the Collaborative Conferencing Pavilion.
SCOPIA Desktop has gone through extensive testing with hundreds of live
conferences involving many locations, customers and partners. Meeting
participants have successfully connected with SCOPIA Desktop's Web-based client
from a full range of locations regardless of their firewall configurations. The
initial reaction to the product has been very positive from customers and
partners.
"SCOPIA Desktop has made it possible to extend our room system deployment to
users at their PCs in a way that has not been possible with any other solution
in the market until now," said Oscar Monrio de la Herran, IT Manager of Banco
Espirito Santo S.A., Sucursal en Espana. "RADVISION's solution delivers what is
really needed for desktop conferencing with their Web-based client, transparent
firewall traversal, and interoperable data sharing between room conferencing and
desktops. Now we can allow users to participate in group conferences no matter
where they are and we are seeing significant productivity gains from this
capability."
Boaz Raviv, RADVISION's CEO, said, "We are excited to deliver SCOPIA Desktop to
the market. Our customers have been telling us that they want a simple way to
connect their room conferencing installations to desktop and remote users and we
are delivering that capability today. We are pleased to bundle this capability
into our award winning SCOPIA platform, further enhancing the value of the
SCOPIA family to our customers."

About DTMS - Simply Adding Value:
1998, DTMS 'Deutsche Telefon- und Marketing Services' GmbH was founded in Mainz,
Germany, by a small group of telecommunication specialists. DTMS is rooted in
the world of value added services based on landline (fixed) networks. The
company started its services on the newly liberated telecommunications market in
Germany with a simple and clear message: service numbers and connected value
added services. Since the year 2000, DTMS follows a special service philosophy
for all business customers who have their own call centre organization:
Application Service Providing (ASP) that means the realization of technical
solutions on the DTMS Intelligent Network platform (IN). Through constant
interchange with the customer, DTMS identifies the customer's specific needs,
implements the found approach on the IN platform and develops in the process new
product offerings, applications and improved instruments for call centre
management. The DTMS approach covers all fixed and mobile networks as well as
the internet, and reaches therefore the highest independence from the effects of
convergence. The dialog organization doesn't need to invest in its own hard- and
software solutions for voice based intersections. Today, DTMS is an established
provider for professional voice portals concerning the business customer service
area in Germany, Austria (ATMS, Vienna) and the Czech Republic. DTMS is
shareholder of several companies, among them 11840-Voice Commerce GmbH in Mainz,
As of July 2005, the DTMS belongs to the business process management specialist
group D+S in Hamburg. D+S Europe AG is listed on the SDAX (ISIN DE0005336804).
