Cisco Telepresence

Cisco has unveiled more of its Telepresence videoconferencing system. The new offerings extend the system into individual offices and into large TelePresence rooms for broader training and conference meetings.

Videoconferencing is set to take off in the coming years as companies look for ways to reduce their carbon footprints. Business travel is an easy target and videoconferencing an obvious solution, some online versions are available at very low cost. The high end ones are very impressive and don't come cheap - the personal Telepresence 500 system comes in at $33,900, but then it doesn't take many international flights to pay that off.
