Keep America Safe from Terrorism -- Learn How California Leveraged Telepresence Solutions from BrightCom at Telepresence World in San Diego, Californi
Telepresence News and Events October 1st, 2008
WOW! What an amazing month for the Telepresence Industry! First off, did anyone see the Cisco TelePresence Human Network commercials that are airing during this seasons NFL Football games? A great sign that public adoption of Telepresence is near.
In other news from the 24/7 Telepresence Breaking News reel at the Telepresence Forum, BT announced that they’ve launched their inter-company Telepresence solution, Proctor & Gamble implemented new Telepresence rooms, Polycom received a “Rising Star” for their innovations and Verizon Teamed with Cisco to offer new productivity enhancing services using Cisco’s collaboration portfolio. Did I mention this was just a few of the Telepresence highlights from this past week? Hundreds of Telepresence news articles hit the wire this last month, and if the past is any indication of the future, we’ll see those Telepresence news posts double by Spring 2009.
I also noticed that companies like Digital Video Enterprises, Telepresence Options and of course our Telepresence Forum were listed in the Open Directory Project at www.DMOZ.org. Pretty big news considering Telepresence didn’t exist, or even have a category just a month ago or so in the human edited ODP.
Our website traffic amongst our 345+ Telepresence related domains has tripled since early August, another indication that Telepresence is getting ready to explode onto Main Street. People are “hearing” of it, people are “researching” it, and once they’ve performed their due diligence, they’ll “see and feel” what the pioneers of the Telepresence industry have been saying. Telepresence is near; Telepresence is here.
Well that’s it for now Readers. We hope you stop by the Telepresence Forum to learn a little about what the differences between plain old video conferencing and Telepresence are. C'mon by, sign up (free by the way), watch a Telepresence video or two, and drop us a line or comment with your Telepresence thoughts and experiences.
Take care , hope to see you on the Forum!

Orange County (PRWEB) June 2, 2007 -- Nicholas Sauer, VP of Research and Development at BrightCom, Inc. and Bob McCandless, CEO of BrightCom, Inc. will present "Telepresence Solutions for Homeland Security-To Infinity and Beyond" at this years Telepresence World conference in San Diego, June 5th in San Diego, California. The presentation will highlight BrightCom's latest deployment of integrated telepresence and web conferencing solutions at the Department of Homeland Security and Los Angeles Police Department's Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIC) located in Los Angeles, California.
The challenge that JRIC faced, was to determine how to connect a vast range of departments to aid in the prevention of potential threats to national security. JRIC's effort to find new ways of departmental communication was the first-of-its-kind to solve this challenge and improve federal, state and local law enforcement collaboration.
"Technology enables us to analyze a lot of information quickly and get access quickly," Michael Chertoff, secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said. "But the human element is important here."
This combination of the human element of telepresence conferencing systems and real time web conferencing integrated application and data sharing is exactly how BrightCom was able to approach JRIC's challenge of departmental collaboration.
"This is truly a partnership that has come together at just the right time," Chief William J. Bratton said. "Through this partnership, we are building on the spirit of cooperation between law enforcement agencies."
BrightCom's Visual Collaboration System (VCS) unifies personnel from different law enforcement agencies, connecting conference room technology, desktop PCs and mobile laptop clients, and allowing multiple participants to experience on-line conferences at any time and from any location. The multi-agency JRIC team members can share video clip content, documents, live computer screens and a whole host of other data, in addition to experiencing live telepresence integration with BrightCom's ClearView video and audio conferencing system. Analysts and investigators can use these features to their advantage as they collect and collaborate on intelligence from agencies all over the country.
"The future of collaboration and telepresence technology is very much capable of breaking down conference room walls and is prepared to take on the challenges of every organization whether it is for the unification of our nation's law enforcement or its' enterprise business leaders" said Bob McCandless, CEO of BrightCom.
Nicholas Sauer and Bob McCandless will be presenting their case study on Homeland Security, telepresence and on-line conferencing solutions at this year's Telepresence World conference on June 5th, 2007 in San Diego, California. Telepresence World 2007 is a meeting of top leaders in telepresence, presence and unified collaboration and will showcase the leading experts in video, audio and web conferencing solutions including BrightCom, Cisco, Polycom, and others. Both of BrightCom's leading solutions, VCS and ClearView Conferencing Technologies will be on display in the exhibitors showcase.

Bridging Time, Connecting Lives: History Of Video Conferencing
Once upon a time, video conferencing did not exist. If you want to speak to several people, you'd have to climb up the apex of a hill and loudly invite them to visit your cornfield. While therapeutic and easy, shouting can, nevertheless, be exhausting. Soon, people grew tired of shouting, so they tried communicating by telegraph. However, talking by clicking sounds was not very user-friendly. For a while,the telephone seemed the best solution. The invention of the television, however, opened the doors to better and even more dramatic means for communication. It was not long before video conferencing was developed, and in time, it became the most virtual form of person-to-person communication. Ironically, the history of video conferencing di...
