Subject: TeleSuite Demonstration for SC 2003 attendees at The
Ritz-Carlton, Phoenix on Tuesday & Wednesday<br>
Date: Sat, 15 Nov 2003 22:31:57 -0500<br>
X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook CWS, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0)<br>
Importance: Normal<br><br>
<font size=2>Dr. Foster,</font> <br>
<br>
<font size=2>My name is Howard Lichtman and I am Vice President of
Business Development for TeleSuite Corporation. TeleSuite provides
Interactive Telepresence solutions for Fortune 500 companies and
Universities including Duke and The University of Arizona. I
understand that you will be presenting at SC 2003 and I wanted to issue a
personal invitation to you and your SC 2003 colleagues to attend a series
of demonstrations that we will be holding for SC 2003 participants at our
publicly available TeleSuite System at The Ritz-Carlton in Phoenix on the
Tuesday and Wednesday of the show. </font><br>
<br>
<font size=2>For universities and national laboratories connected
to Internet2 or other high-performance networks with the skill sets to
launch and manage your own calls, the cost of owning and operating a
TeleSuite drops dramatically to the cost of the TeleSuite Environment and
CODEC/Optics Platform (which is a fraction of what our corporate users
pay). <b><u>If you are purchasing just the TeleSuite endpoint &
Environment then the cost of acquiring a 21 or 36 seat TeleSuite distance
learning environment drops to less than the cost of an 8th grade
chemistry lab.</u></b> </font><br>
<br>
<font size=2>This creates the ability to create a very cost-effective
distance learning community linking the most prominent research
universities and institutions in the world together through Interactive
Telepresence with a <b><u>consistency of quality</u></b> in lighting,
acoustics, and human factors never before achieved. Imagine the
potential of these organizations to connect groups of 100+
participants together in up to 5 locations around the world! (Our
CTO, Marshall Eubanks, sits on the Internet2 Multicast working group and
is quite excited about the opportunity to do something for the SC &
Internet2 communities).</font><br>

<br>
<font size=2>The TeleSuite demonstrations will be next week on Tuesday
& Wednesday, November 18th & 19th at our Publicly Available
TeleSuite located in The Ritz-Carlton, Phoenix from 3:00 - 8:00 PM MST
both days. The Ritz-Carlton is about 15 minutes from the Phoenix Civic
Convention Center where We are also scheduling demonstrations on
Tuesday in the AM and on Thursday by appointment. I am attaching a
one-pager in Adobe PDF that contains the details on the event and a
one-page overview of TeleSuite. </font><br>
<br>
<font size=2>TeleSuite has already had interest from many Internet2 / SC
2003 participants including: NASA, Internet2, Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory, and others. We are trying to communicate this event and
opportunity to as many of the SC 2003, Internet2, and Access Grid
communities as possible in a short amount of time. Would you please
pass this e-mail and PDF along to anyone that you feel would be
appropriate and, hopefully, I look forward to meeting you
"on-screen" on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.
</font><br>
<br>
<font size=2>Please feel free to call with any questions or if we can
provide transportation to and from The Ritz-Carlton for you and any other
attendees you would like to bring. </font><br>
<br>
<font size=2>My apologies for the late notice!</font><br><br>
