(PRWEB) November 8, 2006 -- HaiVision Systems Inc. (Montreal, Canada) today announces that it has completed its fiscal year 2006 with record revenues and sales growth of 100%. This dramatic expansion follows 2 years of solid success during which HaiVision's core products have been adopted by the leading TelePresence integrators – to date this represents over 80% of all high-end TelePresence rooms installed world-wide.

"Corporations globally have discovered that conferencing today does not need to be painful," explains Mirko Wicha, HaiVision's CEO. "Our products allow integrators to establish environments where the technology is invisible. Such TelePresence rooms enable communications between executives in different cities to be incredibly natural, just as if they were sitting directly across the table. We have been delivering technology that enables low latency true-to-life TelePresence for over 2 years and are already delivering our 3rd generation technology when others are just beginning to demonstrate their first systems," added HaiVision's Wicha.

HaiVision has incorporated new compression technology (MPEG-4 AVC / H.264) into all of its products to save approximately 60% of the bandwidth traditionally required for high quality video connections.

HaiVision's business has also grown significantly in the area of video streaming. "The efficiency of MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 combined with the affordability of bandwidth today has had a dramatic impact on everyone involved with video backhaul and distribution requiring high quality real-time video," notes Francois Gariepy, HaiVision's President.
