We value all reader comments and healthy debate but we push readers to disclose their company affiliations so that readers can better understand what promoted a comment, etc. Readers: At MSPmentor we don't "test" systems such as Vu TelePresence, but I have used a demo system that seemed to be running just fine. Of course, I realize demo performance can vary greatly from production performance. But I'll check in with Vu for their perspectives/response to the comment above. -jp Vu: Can you disclose your company and/or background?

Reality. Picture quality is not HD. It is less then SD. No Sync in video and audio. Streaming is poor and doesn't take the data sharing part. In terms of bandwidth it requires 1mbps Static Internet bandwidth to connect per location. That means if you are connecting 5 location you will need dedicated 5mbps static internet bandwidth. CODEC is a CPU cabinet. Camera and microphone are imported from CHINA. If you calculate the bandwidth and the system cost plus the experience it gives it is very much costlier then POLYCOM. A very poor system from a faliure company. Vu TelePresence. 5 Multipoint, Low Bandwidth, Streaming & Recording in one device, HD Video Conferencing. :) Sounds Intresting.

If you're having a boardroom meeting, I suspect executives want full telepresence. But the consumerization of applications means most users are a-ok with lower-end video services like Skype and YouTube... For Zenith Infotech, I suspect the success will depend on ease of deployment within price-sensitive small and midsize companies, plus recurring revenue back to the channel partner. -jp Sachin: Generally speaking, I don’t think the definition of telepresence vs. high-end video conferencing matters much anymore.

Currently, we've implemented this solution with customers in India and have just begun trials with partners in the US and Canada. We are looking at Zenith partners being 1) Able to sell this like a monthly service 2) Become a part of our MeetingRoom@Vu initiative. JT, yes we will be doing evaluations starting late June.
