VCON and Xenex Partner to Deliver Advanced Videoconferencing Solution for Telemedicine Applications

   

Xenex introduces XtoX Winner solution for Scandinavian healthcare market

(April 15, 2004) Austin, Texas – VCON (Euronext- Nouveau Marché-ISIN CODE: IL 00 108 30540), a worldwide leader in audio and videoconferencing solutions, and Xenex, a licensed VCON partner and integrator, have created a multimedia videoconferencing product, called the XtoX Winner. Xenex used VCON’s technical components and software developer’s kit to create the XtoX Winner. Xenex is an established VCON partner and integrator, with the XtoX Winner being the latest in a series of custom products Xenex has created using VCON tools.

The XtoX Winner integrates the standard based group conferencing and the functionality of web conferencing. The product produces high-quality picture and sound, which together enable natural interaction between remote participants. The presence of the distant participant is enhanced through a compact system that can be placed around the conference table or on user’s own desk.

In the past the doctor required two separate systems: a PC for patient data and a videoconferencing system. The XtoX Winner integrates both into a single solution for the physician. Moreover the system has two 17” LCD screens, which allow a doctor to see both a patient’s information on one screen while having a live consultation with the patient on the other screen. Sometimes it is necessary to invite another doctor in for consultation. This can be done easily via VCON’s server-based multipoint bridge (VCON VCB).

“We are excited to see vertical market and application specific solutions built around VCON’s leadership videoconferencing technology,” said Gordon Daugherty, chief marketing officer, VCON. “Xenex has consistently introduced innovative and leading-edge products into their market and VCON values their partnership.”

Juha Lehtinen, managing director, Xenex, stated, “We see exciting growth in the healthcare and telemedicine market in Scandinavia and beyond. VCON’s technology is not only leading-edge, but also easy to integrate and customize, allowing us to bring products such as the XtoX Winner to market rapidly and successfully.”
