StarLeaf technological advances ensure users experience the absolute quality of high-definition even during variable network performance.

With very low end-to-end latency all telepresence meetings remain truly life-like.
No scheduling, no training and no expertise required
Connect using phone numbers and not IP addresses, join remote meeting rooms or simply go from one-to-one to multi-party telepresence meetings, and back again, all in one-touch. With no expertise or training required, there are no barriers to ad hoc room-based meetings, sharing content or team collaboration–the StarLeaf Phone visually guides you all the way.
Instant access to corporate directories, and favorites
Connecting to other conference rooms, meeting colleagues, partners and customers is made super-easy. Just access the corporate directory and favorites, all present on the StarLeaf Phone. Find another meeting room or colleague by scrolling, or searching the directory with the on-screen keyboard and then in one-touch you’re meeting face-to-face.
