Keep America Safe from Terrorism -- Learn How California Leveraged Telepresence Solutions from BrightCom at Telepresence World in San Diego, Californi

Orange County (PRWEB) June 2, 2007 -- Nicholas Sauer, VP of Research and Development at BrightCom, Inc. and Bob McCandless, CEO of BrightCom, Inc. will present "Telepresence Solutions for Homeland Security-To Infinity and Beyond" at this years Telepresence World conference in San Diego, June 5th in San Diego, California. The presentation will highlight BrightCom's latest deployment of integrated telepresence and web conferencing solutions at the Department of Homeland Security and Los Angeles Police Department's Joint Regional Intelligence Center (JRIC) located in Los Angeles, California.

The challenge that JRIC faced, was to determine how to connect a vast range of departments to aid in the prevention of potential threats to national security. JRIC's effort to find new ways of departmental communication was the first-of-its-kind to solve this challenge and improve federal, state and local law enforcement collaboration.

"Technology enables us to analyze a lot of information quickly and get access quickly," Michael Chertoff, secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, said. "But the human element is important here."

This combination of the human element of telepresence conferencing systems and real time web conferencing integrated application and data sharing is exactly how BrightCom was able to approach JRIC's challenge of departmental collaboration.

"This is truly a partnership that has come together at just the right time," Chief William J. Bratton said. "Through this partnership, we are building on the spirit of cooperation between law enforcement agencies."

BrightCom's Visual Collaboration System (VCS) unifies personnel from different law enforcement agencies, connecting conference room technology, desktop PCs and mobile laptop clients, and allowing multiple participants to experience on-line conferences at any time and from any location. The multi-agency JRIC team members can share video clip content, documents, live computer screens and a whole host of other data, in addition to experiencing live telepresence integration with BrightCom's ClearView video and audio conferencing system. Analysts and investigators can use these features to their advantage as they collect and collaborate on intelligence from agencies all over the country.

"The future of collaboration and telepresence technology is very much capable of breaking down conference room walls and is prepared to take on the challenges of every organization whether it is for the unification of our nation's law enforcement or its' enterprise business leaders" said Bob McCandless, CEO of BrightCom.

Nicholas Sauer and Bob McCandless will be presenting their case study on Homeland Security, telepresence and on-line conferencing solutions at this year's Telepresence World conference on June 5th, 2007 in San Diego, California. Telepresence World 2007 is a meeting of top leaders in telepresence, presence and unified collaboration and will showcase the leading experts in video, audio and web conferencing solutions including BrightCom, Cisco, Polycom, and others.
