Just a quick update on the status of HD H323 within WestGrid. 

A couple of the WestGrid collaboration sites have now purchased H323 units capable of HD.  These sites include SFU (IRMACS), Cybera Calgary & Cybera Edmonton.  The units that all three have selected are the LifeSize Room systems - units that so far in testing these units have performed quite well.

Some of the other competitors in this field are Tandberg, Polycom and Sony.  Sony specifically has recently announced the PCS-XG80 with pretty incredible specifications and a very nice price point.  It will be interesting to see if this new Sony line lives up to its specifications - it is due to be released this Spring.

If you are interested in hearing about our experiences with these units or other units, feel free to contact support@westgrid.ca
