Discussing the company’s featured demonstrations, Ofer Shapiro (News - Alert), co-founder and CEO of Vidyo said, “These demonstrations illustrate the unique properties of Vidyo’s groundbreaking technology platform that delivers exceptional fidelity over general purpose networks, even over wireless networks where available bandwidth constantly changes.”

“Our software-based solution leverages off-the-shelf devices that users already own and use with their residential and wireless broadband connections. This amazing versatility allows people, who are becoming increasingly more mobile, to connect with colleagues and customers via high-quality, natural video communication, at price-points that were never before available. Vidyo enables people to be more productive and visually collaborate from wherever they are – be it their office, hotel room, airport or Internet café,” he added.

Vidyo also demonstrated its multipoint video communication and collaboration platform at the MWC ShowStoppers event, connecting mobile devices including an Apple iPad, Apple iPhone 4, Samsung (News - Alert) Galaxy Tab and the new Google Nexus S with laptops, desktops, and enterprise room systems; which presented its support of LTE, 3G and 4G broadband networks and smartphones.
