    NEW YORK, Nov. 27 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Teliris (
http://www.teliris.com ), the leading full-service provider
of telepresence solutions, today announced that Qualcomm has
selected Teliris' fourth generation telepresence solution
for a trial program aimed at fostering deeper integration
and increased communication between its San Diego
headquarters and research facilities located in Campbell,
Calif. and Bridgewater, N.J.  The solution, which includes
three installations of VirtuaLive(TM) Modular, will be an
addition to help engineers from the company's remote
offices collaborate more effectively on research and design
projects and ultimately improve productivity and
efficiency.

    "Research and development are cornerstones of
Qualcomm's long history of technology innovation, and
collaboration among our various remote locations has been
an important part of our success." said Barbara
Noerenberg, vice president of corporate R&D program
management, Qualcomm.  "Teliris' telepresence
solutions provide us with a new layer of communications
that will help us bridge the geographic gaps and work more
closely across our offices."

    VirtuaLive(TM)( http://teliris.com/solution.html ),
Teliris' fourth-generation offering, provides Qualcomm and
many other global corporations with the latest telepresence
technology and a broad set of room offerings that, together
offer the most immersive and natural virtual meeting
environment available on the market. By capturing and
transmitting visual and auditory cues such as facial
expressions, gestures and even side-comments, Teliris'
technology faithfully replicates an in-person meeting
experience. Teliris enables participants to collaborate as
if they are working around the same table. 

    "This trial collaboration demonstrates Qualcomm's
commitment to managing a multi-site business in the most
streamlined way possible," said Marc Trachtenberg,
Teliris CEO. "We are thrilled that such a respected
technology mainstay recognizes the value of telepresence in
enhancing their business communications.  As an additional
benefit, Teliris' systems provide all our customers with
redundancy for situations where other forms of
communication are interrupted or impractical, such as
during airline delays, disasters, epidemics or any other
issue that could break down communication between
offices."

    Teliris received the 2007 Global Award for Market
Leadership from Frost & Sullivan for holding the
largest global market share of customer telepresence
solutions at 44 percent. The company offers the only
guaranteed platform that can interoperate with telepresence
systems from other vendors and connect remote users to
