RICHARDSON, Texas, Sept. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Intelect Communications, Inc.
(Nasdaq: ICOM), a leading provider of products and services for the seamless
integration of voice, data and video technologies, today announced that its
LANscape(TM) video communications product has incorporated Dell Computer
Corporation's (Nasdaq: DELL) personal computers and workstations into its
turnkey solution. By year's end, Dell(R) will also provide the factory
integration of software and hardware on systems for the video communication
products Intelect sells in the United States.
Intelect will now be able to offer world-class multimedia PCs and
workstations with LANscape's full-motion, full-color video communications
starting at $4,995, priced significantly below the market. The agreement with
Dell is designed to save Intelect customers time and money in the set-up and
roll-out of enterprise video communications.
"Our agreement demonstrates our mutual commitment to delivering ready-to-
run highly manageable solutions tailored to the needs of customers," stated
Keith Smith, vice president and general manager of Intelect Visual
Communications, the division producing LANscape. "By combining the best
price-performance video solution with Dell's reliable and proven PC products,
we've made it that much easier for customers to choose our systems. More
importantly, it allows Intelect to better address customers' needs."
LANscape is a unique, cost-effective video communications breakthrough,
offering full-motion, full-color communications with each user appearing in a
fully adjustable window. Utilizing IP as the transmission protocol, LANscape
can be transported across existing LAN/WAN networks using Ethernet, Internet,
Frame Relay, ATM, SONET or SDH. In addition to video conferencing, LANscape
features video record and playback controls, supporting IP multicast for
transmission of live or pre-recorded video from one-to-many or many-to-many.
