Aastra ViPr™ Clearly the choice for the most natural conversations and most productive meetings Advancing virtual presence communications

Easy to use, standards-based, and available in configurations that work from the executive suite to large conference halls, the Aastra ViPr™ seamlessly integrates superior quality, realtime video telephony with conferencing and presentation tools. The definitive visual communications system, Aastra ViPr offers dramatic “Virtual Presence” functionality for video inter- action between two or more geographically dispersed parties. Mature and based on the H.264 standard, ViPr raises the bar for high-quality video telephony while maintaining full interoperability with standard telephone systems and legacy video conferencing. If your operation benefits from collaboration between remote parties, a ViPr “call” is as good as a face-to-face meeting without the travel expense.
