On July 20, 2011, LifeSize announced LifeSize(R) Connections(TM), a new cloud-based HD video conferencing platform for PC and Mac computers. The solution is set to be released worldwide in the third calendar quarter of 2011.
LifeSize Connections is designed to reduce the overall burden on IT departments by seamless integrating between meeting rooms and remote users. It will provide auto-configuration of endpoints and software clients, as well as fully integrated firewall traversal to make sure that calls stay connected over the network.
