Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Redwood City, California, Highfive is a privately held enterprise specializing in intelligent, in-room video conferencing. The company is on a mission to make video communications ubiquitous. The first stop on the journey is their reimagining of the meetingroom experience through video conferencing solutions that are easy to buy and set up, simple to use and support, and exceptional at boosting productivity and collaboration.
Highfive delivers the only integrated hardware and software platform born in the cloud for in-room video conferencing. Setting up a new meeting room takes less than 15 minutes, and the resulting immersive conferencing solution gives teams instant collaboration so they can just get to work without fussing with complex hardware and cumbersome software.
People work differently today, collaborating with more customers, partners, and colleagues across town and across the world. Workers themselves are also untethered to an office, as likely to work from home or a cafe as they are from a hotel or a remote location. While typical solutions are hard to use, expensive to support, yet still offer low-quality experiences, Highfive gives IT and workers the great quality, reliability, and user experience they’ve come to expect from today’s technologies.
An All-in-One Solution
Highfive brings together an all-in-one, bundled hardware and software solution available for one low, per- room price. It features Dolby Voice® to deliver high-fidelity, crystal-clear audio and offers 4K HDR video cameras for stunning video quality. It was born in the cloud using modern technologies like Web Real-Time Communications (WebRTC), AWS hyperscale cloud computing and storage, and a cloudnative operating system combined to deliver a better experience at a lower cost. Highfive also integrates with existing Slack, G Suite, Office365, and other external apps.
This combination of approaches and modern technologies eliminates nearly all of the IT burden, enables nontechnical workers to perform the installations in minutes, and leaves the updates, maintenance, and security to Highfive, which does it all automatically. And because it runs on AWS hyperscale cloud, Highfive supports nearly limitless scale, allowing organizations to equip hundreds of meeting rooms and giving video collaboration to thousands of workers in an instant. Because it’s built on WebRTC, Highfive leverages the ubiquity of web browsers to eliminate end-user downloads, the friction of expensive and time-consuming manual software installations, and the accompanying troubleshooting and support requirements on IT.
Highfive lets anyone start meetings on time, everytime, without compatibility, complexity, or quality issues that can derail otherwise productive teams.
