There's videoconferencing, and then there's videoconferencing using Cisco's TelePresence system.
Winner of the Enterprise Hardware Product of the Year award at the 2007 CNET Networks UK Business Technology Awards, this product uses high-definition video, massive plasma displays and surround-sound audio to deliver an IP-based solution that gives meeting participants the feeling that they really are in the same room together.
