High-Definition Video Puts the World’s Most Visionary Leaders in Politics and Economics Face-to-Face with Asia’s Financial Elite

Bill Clinton and Alan Greenspan speak to CLSA Investors’ Forum in Hong Kong from the United States using TANDBERG’s best-in-class visual communication solutions

Hong Kong, September 15, 2006 – Leveraging the exceptional quality of its recently introduced high-definition (HD) videoconferencing solutions, TANDBERG (OSLO: TAA:OL), a global leader in visual communication, supported CLSA in putting Asia’s financial elite face-to-face with speakers in the United States. At the recent CLSA Investors’ Forum in Hong Kong (Sept. 11-15), a host of international VIP guests, including former U.S. President Bill Clinton, linking through video from New York, and former U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, linking through video from Washington D.C., addressed a gathering in Hong Kong of more than 1,100 global institutional investors from 30 countries.

The audience of senior executives and financial heads from Asia’s leading corporations was treated to insights from top political and economic visionaries, carried live from the United States over high-definition videoconferencing systems from TANDBERG. The guests, who represented trillions of dollars in assets under management, benefited from the unparalleled video quality and caught every syllable, gesture and expression of the internationally recognized speakers.

"Recognizing the power of this audience, scores of world leaders use the CLSA Investors’ Forum to deliver their nations’ political and economic messages directly to the sources that are fuelling their growth. Visual communication is an excellent vehicle that enables more of them to fit the five-day event into their schedules, without having to travel" said T. Rajah, Chief Information Officer for CLSA. “The pioneering use of technology has helped to make the annual CLSA Investors’ Forum in Hong Kong become the best-in-class event of its kind in Asia.”

"Visual communication is a strategic tool for CLSA, and TANDBERG is our preferred business partner, as it offers leading-edge technology in the most comprehensive solution available today, coupled with unparalleled customer support,” added Rajah.
