Teliris' WebConnect Allows Remote Users to Participate in Life-Like Virtual Meetings Via Internet Connection Enhanced Touch Screen Offering Enables Customers to View, Schedule or Change Meetings in Real-Time

San Diego, CA June 4, 2007 - Teliris, the leading full-service provider of telepresence solutions, today announced the release of its WebConnect technology - the first of its kind that allows for remote participants to engage in a virtual meeting through any broadband Internet connected Web-based device.

The new technology allows for outside users to view, hear and interact in a full telepresence meeting with their colleagues by connecting to any broadband Web-enabled device. WebConnect also offers the ability to review presentation materials or any other content displayed in the meeting room.

"By extending the reach of Teliris' VirtuaLive solution to the Web, we have opened up new avenues for virtual collaboration by connecting a broader spectrum of telepresence users without compromising the effectiveness of the meeting," said Marc Trachtenberg, Teliris CEO and co-founder. "Today, many businesses operate with employees that work in dispersed locations. This is one more way that Teliris is helping its customers to communicate through its VirtuaLive solutions more effectively and more often."
