ANET, Japan’s web conferencing system provider, has launched its FRESH VOICE HD desktop video conferencing system with the strength of Global IP Solutions (GPIS) Video ConferenceEngine inside.

GPIS said that the new video conferencing system offers full HD voice and video, desktop and document sharing and the ability to invite and schedule conferences. It is suitable for linking large groups or corporate meetings and connects up to 50 locations.

According to GPIS, the Video ConferenceEngine is a platform that enables real-time audio and video conferencing. It includes media processing functionalities and features of traditional hardware infrastructure-based video conferencing bridges.

Hironori Nishihata, president of ANET, said: Our video conference allows business people to hold natural conversations over video and achieve improved efficiencies with reductions in time and travel costs. We chose GIPS Video ConferenceEngine because of its powerful ability to manage the voice and video processing allowing ANET to present our customers with effortless video conversations that can also connect to other video conferencing systems such as Polycom, Tandberg, and Sony.

Emerick Woods, chief executive officer of GPIS, said: ANET is the first choice for web conferencing across numerous industries, including manufacturing, construction, IT, government agencies, hospitals and universities.
