Peak IP Solutions Offers LifeSize Bridge, Ushering in Modular Video Conferencing at Highest HD Quality Available

New solution scales intelligently, making Full HD quality accessible for organizations needing multiparty video communications

Pleasanton, CA – December 13, 2010: Peak IP Solutions, Northern California’s leading provider of Unified business communication and networking solutions today announced a new, more flexible way to deploy HD video communications in the LifeSize® Bridge™ 2200, announced today by LifeSize, a division of Logitech (Nasdaq: LOGI) (SIX: LOGN). This 16-port product enables organizations to take a building block approach, scaling video conferencing deployments as needed while providing the best high definition (HD) experience available on the market.

Based on a modular Full HD architecture, LifeSize Bridge empowers enterprises to purchase the appropriate number of bridges to accommodate their current video conferencing equipment needs and easily add capacity as the demand for HD video conferencing grows. Traditional solutions require IT decision-makers to predict their capacity needs far into the future, a counterintuitive process that can be difficult to defend when resources are limited and may result in unused capacity.

LifeSize Bridge eliminates the need for a large upfront investment, enabling businesses of every size to allocate resources only where needed to reduce the risk associated with guessing future capacity. In addition, the new bridge or multipoint control unit (MCU) allows IT administrators to take advantage of existing network architectures and put the bridge anywhere they have extra capacity, minimizing the need to make large bandwidth or other network infrastructure investments to fit their video conferencing needs.

Specific features of the new LifeSize Bridge from Peak IP Solutions and LifeSize include:

A Flexible, Modular System
Whether an organization is managed centrally or decentralized, LifeSize Bridge deploys easily and scales across existing resources, geographies, and standards-based video conferencing offerings. The product supports any codec, speed, resolution, layout or port without losing capacity or HD video quality, making it easy to support multiple conferences. In addition, LifeSize Bridge makes both scheduled and on demand conferencing simple for IT administrators and end users.

Highest HD Quality
Gone are the days of downgrading the quality for everyone on multiparty calls based on the lowest common denominator. LifeSize has developed a new MCU architecture utilizing flat capacity that enables all users to have the same rich HD experience with minimal IT oversight and effort required. The LifeSize Bridge symmetric approach to both 720p60 and 1080p30 receives a high-quality video stream in and transmits the same high-quality resolution without distortion. LifeSize Bridge supports more than 200 resolutions and also features sustained frame rates, a customized screen layout per participant, and up to four Mbps throughput.

Unmatched Price Performance
LifeSize Bridge offers flat capacity pricing for 16 ports regardless of the resolution—720p30, 720p60 or 1080p30. The price per 720p30, 720p60 and 1080p port is the lowest in the market and, at 720p60 and 1080p30 HD quality, the LifeSize Bridge is less than one-third the cost of others in the market.  And as the network of users grows, the LifeSize advantage grows with them. For the same money spent on a large, centralized chassis, the LifeSize Bridge can connect up to three times the number of users in full HD, helping them become more productive while saving organizations significant costs in travel budgets, technology investments, and IT and administrative support.

“Peak IP Solutions realizes that our clients want high-quality, cost-effective video solutions that help their business do more and travel less,” said Douglas Renner, President and founder of Peak IP Solutions. “LifeSize, the partner that pioneered high definition video communications, has taken HD to the next level. These new products will help Peak IP provide even better value to our customers and let them communicate naturally, effectively and easily, putting the power of video to work for their business.”
