LifeSize Communications
LifeSize became a compelling story in the channel within the past few years, beloved by SMB-focused video conferencing and UC solution providers who wanted good margins on midmarket-centric video deployments. It hasn't let up, either; last fall's release of both the SMB-centric LifeSize Passport and the LifeSize 220 telepresence line -- which effectively lowered the price thresholds for desktop telepresence equipment -- helped to cement its reputation. LifeSize was acquired by Logitech in November 2009 -- a move that vaulted Logitech into the video conferencing big leagues -- but so far, the move hasn't visibly disrupted LifeSize's channel base. As Tandberg (and Cisco) push toward mid-range enterprises, they'll find LifeSize waiting for them.
