Actis dials Mobile Video Conferencing

MUMBAI: It is built on open standards, and claims to maximize ROI and provide flexibility.

Actis Technologies, has launched what it calls the country's first ever High Definition mobile video-conferencing solution - the Actis MVU series.

It shares in a press release, “These self-sufficient, integrated videoconferencing systems are mounted on a trolley with castors and allow businesses and institutions an unprecedented amount of flexibility. They can invest in one system for multiple rooms as the system can be moved from room-to-room on castors without disassembly. The MVU series videoconferencing trolley offers an unmatched High-Definition (1080p at 30-frames per-second) viewing experience and includes an integrated display (single or dual monitors), camera, codec, mike and speakers in the unit. It is preconfigured to make Videoconferencing calls within minutes (has ISDN and IP support).

The Actis MVU Series is targeted at the telepresence and video conferencing industry which is fast becoming a powerful business tool in India. While the global industry is poised to grow into a $4.7 billion by 2014, Asia Pacific is expected to contribute $1.7 billion, a recent Frost & Sullivan report revealed.

While the Actis MVU Series allows easy integration with any existing or old video conferencing solution, it functions well with as little as 128 Kbps up to 6 Mbps bandwidth speeds, ensuring cost-effectiveness in operation and real time PC content sharing.

The Actis MVU Series, as the company claims, will benefit enterprises with organizational and sales teams across locations in applications such as customer interaction, recruitment interviews, internal reviews, cross-location training etc. It is also suitable for educational institutions where it allows sharing of one system between multiple rooms. Expected to hit the market this September, the new MVUs will be priced in the range of Rs.7 lakh and Rs.14 lakh.
