RADVISIONâ??s SCOPIA Solution for IBM Lotus Sametime to be Demonstrated at IBM Lotusphere

LOTUSPHERE, ORLANDO, FL and TEL AVIV (January 21, 2008) –

RADVISION® Ltd. (Nasdaq: RVSN), a leading provider of video network infrastructure and developer tools for unified visual communications over IP, 3G, and emerging next-generation IMS networks, today announced that its SCOPIA Conferencing Platform will support IBM Lotus Sametime.

RADVISION’s SCOPIA Conferencing Platform with SCOPIA Desktop will bring advanced conferencing capability to IBM’s next generation unified communications and collaboration platform enhancing the instant messaging and conferencing capabilities of Lotus Sametime by enabling users to create and initiate multiparty audio and video conferences directly from within Lotus Sametime. By adding RADVISION’s unique video and audio plug-in to Lotus Sametime, users can easily escalate Lotus Sametime instant messaging chat sessions into full multiparty audio and video sessions on their PC and extend those conferences to other devices such as room based video conferencing systems, 3G videophones or virtually any telephone available today.

SCOPIA Conferencing Platform’s high definition capabilities allow mixed conferences of HD video conferencing systems, standard definition video systems and video from desktops in the same call without requiring all participants to downgrade to their common capabilities. Each user participates in the conference at the highest capability available to them. SCOPIA provides the most affordable and flexible platform in the market with support for HD, standard definition, desktop, and 3G in a single solution with pricing and capacity optimized for each conferencing application.

SCOPIA Desktop builds upon the technology of RADVISION’s Click to Meet solution for Lotus Sametime with the enhanced HD and high performance media processing capabilities of the SCOPIA Conferencing Platform underneath. These new capabilities provide a high quality conferencing experience even with limited bandwidth applications when viewing multiple participants simultaneously within Sametime.

“Integrating the advanced media processing capabilities of the SCOPIA Conferencing Platform into Lotus Sametime brings another dimension of conferencing to the Sametime unified communications environment,” said Bob Romano, Vice President Enterprise Marketing. “Now Sametime users can have mixed conferences with virtually any type of device including the latest High Definition products on the market without requiring any of those devices to sacrifice quality.”

RADVISION will be demonstrating the SCOPIA Conferencing Platform for Lotus Sametime at the Lotusphere 2008 Product Showcase in Orlando – booth 302 opening today.
