LifeSize announces new video system to simplify user experience

Telecom Lead America: LifeSize, a division of Logitech, announced LifeSize Icon Series, its new video system.

The price of LifeSize Icon Series is $2,999.

The LifeSize Icon Series offers a simplified user experience designed to make video communication simple and intuitive.

“Making a video call should not involve pressing a dozen buttons, deciphering a complicated remote control and navigating through an intimidating user interface,” said Colin Buechler, chief executive officer of LifeSize. “It is those barriers, along with outrageous cost and an overwhelming burden on IT, that have dissuaded businesses from fully adopting video collaboration. The Icon Series puts the experience back in the hands of the users and the complicated technology disappears.”

Robert Arnold, program manager for unified communications and collaboration at Frost and Sullivan, said: “Its slick, icon-driven design just makes sense for an optimal user experience. I expect that there is tremendous market opportunity for this solution, especially at its attractive price point. For companies that have traditionally rejected video due to its cost and complexity, I would recommend a closer look at the LifeSize Icon Series.”

LifeSize Icon Series video solutions include LifeSize UVC Manager. Features such as streaming and recording, firewall/NAT traversal and multiparty calling are available via specific UVC Platform applications.
