Musion and Masergy demonstrate 3D telepresence

Images of representatives from Masergy’s London office were transmitted live across London to Musion’s West London location for a holographic business presentation. 

Ian O’Connell, Director of Musion, stated, “Polycom’s affordable HDX video codec creates a terrific, easily accessible solution and introduces Musion TelePresence to a much wider audience. The future of business communication isn’t just sat at a desk behind a screen – it is now possible to experience face-to-face, fully immersive 3D meetings where individuals appear in breathtaking clarity to each other without the need to physically be there.”

Prior to the Polycom HDX codec implementation, a dedicated 20MB MPLS line was required to meet the ultra-low latency requirements of a stable holographic image. With Polycom’s video technology and Masergy’s networking expertise, the 4MB signal performed perfectly on a 10MB connection.

“This is another step towards a more immersive future, made possible by a high performance network,” said Richard Mathewson, Vice President Sales, EMEA at Masergy. “This partnership is one more example of how forward-thinking companies are changing the face of telecommunications.”
