LifeSize Installs In California

Austin-based high definition video conferencing hardware provider LifeSize has scored a win with a community college in Los Angeles, the firm said Monday afternoon. LifeSize said that the Los Angeles Community College District, America’s largest community college district, has selected LifeSize Communications--which LifeSize says is the largest community college district in America--will use the firm's products to allow its faculty, staff, and students to communicate. Financial impact of the win was not disclosed, but the firm did say that the install will include 23 LifeSize systems. The video conferencing hardware will be used to connect the college's nine campuses, which serve around 220,000 students every year. The system will be used to reduce costs of commuting between campuses for meetings, as part of an environmental and energy initiative at the school.
