PictureTel and RADVision Extend Strategic Alliance to Deliver Top Quality
V2oIP(TM) Conferencing Solutions
Andover, M.A./Mahwah, N.J., August 30, 2000 -- PictureTel Corporation (NASDAQ:
PCTL), the world leader in visual collaboration, and RADVision Inc.
(NASDAQ:RVSN), the leading provider of award-winning, industry-standard products
and technology for real-time voice and video communication over IP, today
announced the amendment of their long-term OEM relationship. Under the alliance,
PictureTel will offer RADVision V2oIP network enterprise products as part of its
market-leading multimedia collaboration systems.
Based on this alliance, the companies will expand the existing OEM
relationship to include RADVision's L2W-323 Gateway and NGK Gatekeeper.
PictureTel currently private labels RADVision's VIU-323 Video Interface Unit as
the PictureTel 210 for connecting ISDN conferencing systems directly to IP
networks. By deploying RADVision's gateway and gatekeeper application,
PictureTel will enhance its customers' ability to conduct interactive
conferences over packet networks, including the Internet and other IP-based
next-generation networks.
"In light of the leadership positions that both PictureTel and RADVision
hold in their respective markets, it is only natural that we combine forces to
lead the market in accelerating commercial deployment of real-time multimedia
collaboration solutions over packet-based networks," said Dan Acquafredda, vice
president, hardware sales, eastern region, RADVision.
"Our relationship with RADVision is consistent with our strategic focus of
developing the market's finest visual collaboration clients," said Connie
Pawelczak, senior product manager, PictureTel. "Maintaining and enhancing
leadership requires that we continue to leverage our relationships with best-of-
breed providers of network infrastructure products."
RADVision's L2W-323 Gateway is an industry-leading, fully self-contained
standalone gateway that translates between H.323 and H.320 protocols, and
converts multimedia information from circuit switch to H.323 IP packets. The
Gateway supports up to eight concurrent voice calls, or four concurrent video
calls, between users on different networks. Users of an L2W-323-enabled network
also benefit from full end-to-end support for T.120 sessions, provided all
terminals support the standard in their collaborative applications.
