LifeSize Releases Express 200

LifeSize Communications, the global leader in high definition video communications, today unveiled LifeSize® Express™ 200, the industry’s first HD video communications system to support dual display video and content for under $6,000. LifeSize Express 200 makes essential HD video communications even more practical and affordable, enabling any size organization to realize the benefits of video communications.

“Organizations are turning to video communications in this economic climate and are seeking affordable HD video solutions,” said Andrew W. Davis, Sr. Analyst and Partner at Wainhouse Research. “The new LifeSize Express 200 delivers what customers want: an authentic communication experience priced for broad deployment. Not only does it enable existing video users to expand their deployments, it invites new customers to implement video communications. The Express 200 will be a catalyst for the continued adoption of HD video communications.”

An affordable solution that can be deployed anywhere in the organization, LifeSize Express 200 gives project teams, partners and colleagues the ability to collaborate with full-screen HD video communication, as well as full-screen HD content sharing. With more flexibility than ever before, LifeSize Express 200 empowers more users to meet face-to-face while working together on a wide range of applications: doctors can simultaneously share medical images in High Definition with patients or colleagues; teachers can reach more students across the world in HD; businesses can deploy HD video communications around the world to connect satellite offices, home office workers and headquarters for immersive collaboration.

“LifeSize set the price performance benchmark for HD video communications in 2007 with our award-winning LifeSize Express,” said Craig Malloy, CEO and founder, LifeSize Communications. “Yet to be equaled, LifeSize has again set new standards with the Express 200. At 2x the price-performance of comparable systems, LifeSize Express 200 offers customers an extremely low barrier to realizing a return on their investment, making it easier than ever to justify video as a path to improved collaboration and productivity, less travel, and reduced environmental impact.”
