Teliris Telepresence Solutions Used by Qualcomm to Achieve Deeper Integration With Remote Research Facilities


NEW YORK, November 27 /PRNewswire/ --

- VirtuaLive(TM) Modular Systems Chosen to be Part of National Research
and Design Projects

Teliris (http://www.teliris.com), the leading full-service provider of
telepresence solutions, today announced that Qualcomm has selected Teliris'
fourth generation telepresence solution for a trial program aimed at
fostering deeper integration and increased communication between its San
Diego headquarters and research facilities located in Campbell, Calif. and
Bridgewater, N.J. The solution, which includes three installations of
VirtuaLive(TM) Modular, will be an addition to help engineers from the
company's remote offices collaborate more effectively on research and design
projects and ultimately improve productivity and efficiency.

"Research and development are cornerstones of Qualcomm's long history of
technology innovation, and collaboration among our various remote locations
has been an important part of our success." said Barbara Noerenberg, vice
president of corporate R&D program management, Qualcomm. "Teliris'
telepresence solutions provide us with a new layer of communications that
will help us bridge the geographic gaps and work more closely across our
offices."

VirtuaLive(TM)(http://teliris.com/solution.html), Teliris'
fourth-generation offering, provides Qualcomm and many other global
corporations with the latest telepresence technology and a broad set of room
offerings that, together offer the most immersive and natural virtual meeting
environment available on the market. By capturing and transmitting visual and
auditory cues such as facial expressions, gestures and even side-comments,
Teliris' technology faithfully replicates an in-person meeting experience.
Teliris enables participants to collaborate as if they are working around the
same table.

"This trial collaboration demonstrates Qualcomm's commitment to managing
a multi-site business in the most streamlined way possible," said Marc
Trachtenberg, Teliris CEO. "We are thrilled that such a respected technology
mainstay recognizes the value of telepresence in enhancing their business
communications. As an additional benefit, Teliris' systems provide all our
customers with redundancy for situations where other forms of communication
are interrupted or impractical, such as during airline delays, disasters,
epidemics or any other issue that could break down communication between
offices."

Teliris received the 2007 Global Award for Market Leadership from Frost &
Sullivan for holding the largest global market share of customer telepresence
solutions at 44 percent. The company offers the only guaranteed platform that
can interoperate with telepresence systems from other vendors and connect
remote users to telepresence meetings via a broadband Internet connection.
