The birth of mobile videoconferencing on mobile devices like the iPhone 4 and HTC’s EVO has created a lot of buzz in the industry. Where is the industry headed? How will such easy access to videoconferencing impact business? Is there a need for videoconferencing in the boardroom?
LifeSize, Cisco and Polycom lead the way in advancing the videoconferencing industry. We know they certainly wouldn’t be investing in products like Telepresence if boardroom videoconferencing was all headed out the door with the advent of mobile videoconferencing.
New capabilities on mobile devices is just the next step in moving the use of video into every day life.
We see the advance of videoconferencing to mobile devices as not only exciting for the individual user but for big business as well. Mobile videoconferencing on cell phones and tablet devices takes videoconferencing out of the boardroom and into the field. This has been a dream of videoconferencing companies for ages.
Now, not only can businesses connect from one boardroom to the next, but the boardroom can now connect to the field. Imagine a Telepresence suite on wheels, on the streets and in the field. Hard to imagine? With videoconference capabilities on mobile devices, we are just a step closer to truly connecting the world through video, anywhere, anytime, on any device!
