RealPresence Mobile extends the reach of the new platform to mobile devices. When users join meetings on a tablet, they will see participants from other videoconferencing systems in HD, and the tablet user will appear in HD on those other systems. If there are multiple other participants, they can all appear on a divided screen on the tablet. Image quality depends on cellular or Wi-Fi signal strength and can step down if the signal weakens, Kruger said.

The RealPresence Mobile apps for iOS and Android will be free, but enterprises will have to pay to use them with other types of video endpoints over RealPresence, Kruger said.
