LifeSize bolsters commitment to the U.S. federal market with full
suite of universal video collaboration products and solutions now JITC
compliant; enters reseller agreement with Avaya Government Solutions
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
LifeSize,
a division of Logitech (Nasdaq:LOGI) (SIX:LOGN) and world leader in HD
video collaboration, today announced that its full line of endpoint
solutions has received Joint
Interoperability Test Command (JITC) certification from the Defense
Information Systems Agency (DISA). LifeSize products are now available
on the DoD Unified Capabilities Approved Products List (UC APL).
The LifeSize® Room™ series, LifeSize® Team™ series and LifeSize®
Express™ series of HD
video conferencing systems and the LifeSize Networker™ gateway are
now fully JITC compliant, with both Interoperability (IO) and
Information Assurance (IA) compliance certification. This compliance
enables end-to-end video collaboration for federal customers, allowing
high definition video solutions to work in existing network
infrastructures, while providing the lowest total cost of ownership.
"This certification further solidifies LifeSize's continuing commitment
to the federal market," said Paul Cantwell, vice president of federal
sales for LifeSize. "Our products have been recognized by federal
standards-setting organizations and leading government contractors alike
as among the best solutions for HD video. By working within the existing
IT infrastructure at federal agencies, LifeSize is bringing cost and
operational efficiencies to video
conferencing and collaboration solutions for today and tomorrow."
LifeSize has also entered into a strategic reseller agreement with Avaya
Government Solutions. Both companies will jointly provide complete,
end-to-end video collaboration solutions to the United States Federal
Government, leveraging the Avaya Aura® platform and LifeSize's full
suite of high-definition video products.
"Avaya Government Solutions and LifeSize have a key initiative in common
— to provide the government and its agencies with the highest quality
solutions and services for the most complex, mission-critical
applications in the world," said Steve Derr, vice president of sales for
Avaya Government Solutions. "We are pleased to enter into this agreement
and look forward to supporting these agencies together."
"The applications of high definition video conferencing and
collaboration are becoming critically important in the federal
government," said Cantwell. "From teleworking to distance learning, to
continuity of operations and beyond, the need for agencies to work
together and share information seamlessly has never been greater. Our
full suite of JITC compliant endpoints coupled with our agreement with
Avaya Government Solutions makes LifeSize uniquely positioned to impact
the federal market in a meaningful way."
LifeSize HD video conferencing solutions are currently installed in
federal agencies such as the DoD, U.S. Army, the Department of Energy,
NASA, the U.S. House of Representatives and DISA.
