Believe it or not, telepresence is not new. It has been more than a decade since the first telepresence solution was introduced to the public. For most of that time, the telepresence market consisted of a handful of small technology companies providing relatively unknown solutions to a small and exclusive list of clients. Between their limited marketing budgets and almost non-existent sales forces, these companies were unable to bring telepresence into the limelight. This all changed in late 2005 when HP announced the release of its Halo telepresence solution. Although Halo offers an exceptional meeting experience, it was not the solution itself that turned so many heads; it was the fact that a telepresence solution was now available from, and being promoted by, a company with a household name and a massive presence within the enterprise.
