Lifesize®, a global innovator of video collaboration and meeting productivity solutions, unveiled Lifesize Dash™, an affordable, low-risk way to get started with video collaboration for under $1,000.

“While video boosts productivity and drives more efficient meetings, some businesses feel ill-prepared or financially prohibited to implement a solution,” explained Craig Malloy, CEO of Lifesize. “Lifesize Dash will enable organizations of every size to experience the benefits of video in the simplest, easiest and most affordable way possible.”

Lifesize Dash offers easy-to-use meeting controls, centralized management and automatic updates for a truly effortless meeting experience. The solution works with a variety of approved USB cameras and audio devices from vendors such as AVer, Huddly and Yamaha Unified Communications so customers can create the best meeting room solution for their unique needs.

There are more than 32 million mini spaces or “huddle rooms” worldwide that lack anything more than a phone, according to Frost & Sullivan1. With Lifesize Dash, these rooms can be cost-effectively transformed into collaboration hot spots, enabling more teams to be more productive more often.

“With the increasing number of huddle rooms, it’s critical to have video conferencing solutions specifically designed for these spaces that are feature-rich, yet affordable,“ said Rob Arnold, Principal Analyst with Frost & Sullivan. “These new innovations from Lifesize align perfectly with this trend, and we expect they’ll be well received by customers.”

Available in the third quarter of 2018, Lifesize Dash will be showcased at InfoComm 2018 (June 6-8 in Las Vegas, NV) alongside other innovations at the Lifesize booth N2434.
