I agree with your assertion that smaller companies develop superior products and do so at a much more rapid pace than larger companies. This is certainly true in the case of Teliris. Since our inception 10 years ago, we have consistently led the telepresence industry in setting down the milestones by which our competitors, and the larger market, are measured and defined. Our media and public relations activities are focused on getting this message out. Occasionally, some less informed folks confuse our innovative solutions with those of our partners or competitors. In such situations, it has been my experience that clearly stating the superiority of Teliris solutions is helpful to clear up these mistaken beliefs. We love compeitition and have no issues going head-to-head with our competitors in any arena. I always appreciate the input. Keep it coming!! Thanks for the advice John.

By mentioning Microsoft or Cisco (or even HP) you give them mention and significance as a brand that they don't need. Your products stand on their own merit and don't need to be defended that they don't belong to others. I say this as an interested party who believes in the power of smaller firms to develop better products and to support the products better. Marc,

I'm glad you enjoy my posts and thanks for reaching out to Teliris. Teliris has been thinking along the same lines ... so I congratulate you on your foresight. I believe telepresence will become a ubiquitous business tool in next few years by continuing to enable companies to decrease travel expenses, enhance employee productivity and collaboration, ensure business continuity in cases where travel is restricted or impossible, restore work-life balance to employees who travel frequently, and help customers to make real, measurable reductions to their carbon footprint. The 'bleed' from this ubiquity will clearly find its way into the home as businesses empower teleworkers and further increase collaboration amongst remote, distributed teams. Once in the home and driven by Metcalf's Law, telepresence will be used for new applications that few in the industry are able to fully envision today. It's important to keep in mind that the common platform upon which all Teliris Telepresence solutions are designed has no inherent limitations with multi-room, multi-source audio integration. We have definitely thought a great deal about the deployment options within such situations! I can't divulge too much information now on Teliris' plans to enable telepresence ubiquity but please pay close attention to our upcoming sixth-generation solution launch scheduled for June 17 at InfoComm in Orlando Florida.

I'm thinking about personal telepresence in the home. That is, something that can be used in the office for work, in the living room to catch up with remote family, virtually watch a sporting event (no, not Manchester United!), etc. How does a multi-room scenario--in some cases with existing audio from the TV broadcast--affect your design criteria? FYI, I represent some pretty monster residential networks where 5-15 Mbps (yes, end-to-end) is no problem. Cheers. Hi Marc:
