LifeSize has partnered with Microsoft to create a Microsoft Lync Room System. This is a video and collaboration solution that brings the familiar Lync unified communication experience to the meeting room.
LifeSize is one of four video collaboration vendors participating in the Microsoft Lync Room Systems program, aimed at developing a new product category designed around Lync 2013. The LifeSize LRS1000 for Microsoft Lync runs Microsoft Lync 2013 software optimised for meeting rooms in native mode. It reproduces the familiar Lync user experience in the context of group collaboration, enabling more productive meetings.
LifeSize LRS1000 supports voice and video calling on Lync 2013 and Lync 2010 with a touch-screen control console that showcases a user directory, calendar and presence information, an HD camera, stereo microphone and support for up to two touch-displays for digital white boarding.
“Microsoft’s relationship and joint product development with LifeSize is of great value in our efforts to maximize adoption of unified communications video and collaboration solutions by everyone,” said Giovanni Mezgec, general manager for Lync product marketing at Microsoft. “Customers who are seeking a room-based video and collaboration system that runs Lync 2013 will be pleased with the seamless, intuitive experience that LifeSize has developed.”
