Avistar's Desktop Video Collaboration Solution Earns Communications Solutions' 2006 Product of the Year Award

SAN MATEO, Calif.--Avistar Communications Corp. (NASDAQ:AVSR), a video collaboration platform provider, has earned Communications Solutions' 2006 Product of the Year Award for the latest release of its desktop video collaboration solution. Communications Solutions magazine selected AvistarVOS(TM) v9.1 because it has "gone the extra mile to help improve both the customer experience and the return on investment for the companies that use it," according to Rich Tehrani, TMC President and Group Editor-in-Chief of Communications Solutions.

Designed to provide all employees whether in the office, at home or on the road with easy access to high-quality visual communications, AvistarVOS v9.1 helps boost productivity by improving and increasing the speed of employee collaboration and decision-making. AvistarVOS v9.1 is a single software application that supports all Avistar endpoint types and automatically detects the type of endpoint in use. This allows users to employ a hardware-assisted endpoint to offload video processing from the PC while in the office, and automatically switch to software-only mode when at home or traveling.

Additionally, Avistar's latest software release delivers new features, such as automatic bandwidth management and end-to-end connectivity testing, which simplify system administration and enhance call quality and reliability.

Each year, the Communications Solutions judging committee acknowledges companies whose products exhibit excellence in technological advancement and application refinements. "We're pleased that Communications Solutions has recognized our video collaboration solution with this prestigious award, demonstrating that experts continue to appreciate the value of enterprise desktop video," said John Carlson, Vice President of Marketing, Avistar Communications. "We believe this is due in part to the availability of increasingly powerful functionality, quality enhancements and greater ease-of-use for users and network administrators alike and that Avistar is at the forefront of these efforts."
