Fuze Box Introduces Fuze Presence, Multi-Party HD Video Conference Telepresence Solution

By Carolyn J Dawson, TMCnet Contributor

As a leading platform provider of real time visual collaboration applications, Fuze Box released private beta version of its new solution, Fuze Presence, resulting from the unique combination of popular mobile platforms and desktop web meeting solution. Being the first of its kind, the innovative service offers multi-party desktop and mobile video conferencing in HD quality.


Users located anywhere in the world, equipped with any camera-enable device, will now be able to meet in HD video, with the participants logging in using Android tablets, laptops, desktops, iPhone 4 and iPad. By leveraging Fuze Presence technology, participants can use the convenience of their iPads to attend meeting and watch live video streams.

Using a web browser or a downloaded mobile app, the meeting host will access his/her account to initiate a meeting, quickly and easily in two small steps. After enabling video conferencing, the host will conduct the meeting while the attendees conveniently access the video conference. Previously, video conferencing was an unreliable desktop-only experience with added limitations such as low video quality as well as poor latency.

Leveraging the H.264 codec technology, Fuze Box’s innovation delivers multi-party collaboration at 720p while maintaining the highest fidelity and latency lower than 200 ms, and with the ability to accommodate 8 simultaneous video participants. Some of the other features included are VoIP support, screen sharing, content sharing as well as suite of collaboration tools.

In a press release, Jeff Cavins, CEO of Fuze Box said, “Our strategy is based on two facts. First, the meeting room of the future will be a virtual one and something you can hold in your hands. Second, people will want more device choice, not less. We are browser, platform, device and network agnostic and whatever mobile or desktop device someone is considering purchasing, we’ll already be there.”

Fuze Box’s technology makes it easy to conduct online meetings by bringing enterprise users face to face on any screen with a full suite of collaboration tools at their fingertips. In the areas of telephony and collaboration, Fuze Box has been awarded 22 patents with an additional 44 pending. Fuze Meeting, the company’s flagship product, helps transform tablet computers into business devices and includes features such as cutting edge HD video and advanced image capabilities.
