Research and Markets: Latest Report Forecasts the Size of the US Telepresence Market over the Period 2009-2013

Considerable developments and improvements in technologies over the recent years have resulted in an increased usage of video conferencing and Telepresence. Such technologies include WLAN (Wireless Local Area Networks), WAN (Wireless Area Networks), digital compression, signal transmission, high bandwidth.

The requirement of a steady and regular communication among various geographically dispersed offices of an organization is driving the demand for Telepresence solutions. Further, an influx of global players (with head offices in the US and Europe) in the developing economies (such as India, China, Brazil, etc), through partnerships/mergers/acquisitions, has brought about an increase in the number of offshore sites. This is further building on the need of a reliable and cost effective solution for communications (such as Telepresence) among the various branch offices.

Moreover, for the companies, Telepresence is a cost cutting and an eco-friendly measure. Telepresence solutions, exclusively for the governments, have to meet strict security, interoperability and performance requirements. Further, in the US, Telepresence solutions need to comply with Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 validation. Compliance to such standards is a requirement for any cryptographic product used in any US government agency network. Further, it (the compliance) is also driving the sales of the company's solutions in the banking & investment firms, where data security is an important concern. For example, in the US, Polycom Telepresence solutions for the government comply with the Joint Interoperability Certification (JITC), integrated FIPS 140-2 validation and IPv6 network interoperability.
