The Editor commented: "In 2010, large and small companies recognised that video meetings were a real alternative to domestic and international travel that improved productivity, and saved them costs and management time. Demand for Telepresence was very strong and there were many large enterprise-wide deployments. The superb quality of Full 1080p High Definition video was widely recognized and large deployments in conference rooms and on the desktop were made. Video became an essential part of Unified Communications for a growing number of companies. The five vendor companies chosen for the 2010 Awards produced the innovative products that best met these customer demands."

Teliris continued to lead innovation in the Telepresence Industry with a curved, panoramic display for truly immersive Telepresence at the desktop, 3D Telepresence available in one, two or three display configurations, and a Home Telepresence unit for the remote worker.

LifeSize, a division of Logitech, enhanced their products so that all their HD Videoconferencing endpoints and infrastructure products can handle 1080p Full High Definition video. The resulting high-quality experience and low total cost of ownership were appreciated by their customers.

RADVISION serves the growing demand for Unified Communications with three groups of products: Unified Communications; Visual Communications; and Developer solutions. RADVISION developer solutions have been vital to the development of Unified Communications and the use the use of smart phones and tablets on videoconferencing networks. High Definition videoconferencing endpoints were added to its infrastructure products range in 2010.

Ofer Shapiro has been CEO of Vidyo, Inc. since he helped found the company in April 2005. Under his leadership, Vidyo has revolutionised the approach to delivering multi-site High Definition videoconferencing by making it possible over general purpose networks like the Internet and now smart phones and tablets on wireless mobile networks using a software-solution. The VidyoConferencing platform uses a simple router rather than an MCU to create a multi-site video network. The award recognizes his personal contribution to this innovation and leading its commercial realization and success.

The HD Videoconferencing network platform called VidyoConferencing is deemed the most important innovation of 2010. Vidyo has developed the neatest and most innovative solution to overcome the problems of using video on the Internet and general purpose IP networks, namely packet loss, variations in available bandwidth and latency. Using SVC (scaleable video coding), Vidyo changes the way the video signal is represented by representing it in a number of layers. The VidyoRouter's intelligence decides which layers will be transmitted to each site on a video network, at what frame rate and over what bandwidth. The video endpoints do the video compression and decompression.

Vaddio added to its leading range of robotic PTZ cameras and high-end camera control systems in 2010 and also launched two new product lines: furniture for housing Telepresence and videoconferencing solutions and electronic video whiteboards. Vaddio also launched innovative new products designed for the education and distance-learning marketplace. A total of 10 new innovative peripheral products were introduced in 2010.

Couples in Crisis from Ailing Economy Turn to Rejection Expert and New Edition of Popular Book for Help

Berkeley, CA (PRWEB) December 6, 2010

A crisis among couples has been quietly brewing along with the numbers of people chronically out of work or those fearing getting a pink slip.

?I?ve never heard so many people say their main issue is ?stress due to being in a financial crisis,? and I?ve been a couples therapist and communication coach for over 25 years, says Dr. Elayne Savage, author of the newly released 2nd edition of ?Breathing Room - Creating Space to Be a Couple? and author of another popular self-help book, ?Don?t Take it Personally.? ?Foreclosures, lay-offs, pay-cuts, and the fear of ?what might happen? are deflating self-esteem, which is leading to breakups and divorces."

The 2nd Edition of ?Breathing Room - Creating Space to Be a Couple" comes at a time when couples need this kind of advice in a hurry. "I?m seeing an epidemic of extreme conflict in relationships that would otherwise be solid. People just don't have the reserve these days. My goal with the book is to provide struggling couples with tools and solutions to weather this economic storm, and any other turbulence they may encounter ? now and in the future.?

Dr. Savage points out that increased vulnerability due to the economic crisis leads to heightened sensitivity to rejection. The ripple effect impacts both work and personal relationships. Couples find themselves taking things personally by feeling slighted or wronged, over-reacting to words or tones of voice, and getting blind-sided by disappointments. Hurt feelings, anger and resentment damage connection and intimacy.

Dr. Savage says that millions of couples today face these challenges. "Breathing Room" offers strategies for handling these common relationship problems. The book focuses on new ways to communicate, overcoming rejection, and renewing emotional closeness by enhancing teamwork, connection, trust and respect.

Elizabeth Wagele, author of 'The Enneagram Made Easy' and 'Are You My Type, Am I Yours?' says,?No two people have the same need for togetherness or the same style of relating. "Breathing Room" explores these differences and offers excellent solutions for couples AND individuals. I recommend the book, and Dr. Savage?s seminars, to anyone who wants to be in a successful relationship ? personally or professionally.?

ABOUT DR. SAVAGE

Dr. Elayne Savage is a workplace coach, psychotherapist and author of, "Don't Take It Personally! The Art of Dealing with Rejection" and the newly released "Breathing Room" a selection of the Behavioral Science Book Club. Her books are published in 9 languages. As a leading expert in overcoming rejection, dealing with disappointment, and not taking things so personally she has been featured by hundreds of media outlets, including: LA Times, Chicago Tribune, USA Today, CNN.com, Forbes.com, Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Self, Ladies Home Journal, Women's Health, Men's Health, NPR, MSNBC, The London Guardian, and BBC World News. Dr. Savage has been quoted and cited in over 25 books.

Dr. Savage is an in-demand speaker who has created a new program based on the book?s principles. The seminar is called, "Breathing Room: Helping Couples Communicate and Connect In These Tough Times." Requests for her to present her findings across the U.S. are increasing rapidly.
