Vidyo Wins The Wall Street Journal "2010 Technology Innovation Award"
Posted on Fri, Oct 15, 2010
This year, The Wall Street Journal's 2010 Technology Innovation Awards had 17 categories. Vidyo Inc., based in Hackensack, N.J., won the Network/Internet Technologies/Broadband category. It's their "technology for delivering high-quality videoconferencing over the Internet or cellular networks at a fraction of the cost of dedicated "telepresence" systems". Microsoft Corp. was the runner up in this category.
According to the WSJ, "Internet videoconferencing has been around for a few years, but the calls typically are characterized by jerky, low-resolution video. More-realistic, high-resolution videoconferencing systems generally require dedicated communications lines and expensive equipment, limiting their use.
Vidyo uses a new video-compression standard to produce a high-definition videoconferencing product that can work on desktop or laptop computers, tablets and smart phones and travel over the Internet or 3G and 4G cellular networks."
Check out how VidyoConferencing products have all been designed to take advantage of an organization´s existing IP infrastructure — with no dedicated networks required and at just a fraction of the cost.
