Quanta Computer, the world’s largest ODM notebook manufacturer, is hoping to make a splash in Europe with the launch of its videoconferencing subsidiary faceVsion.
The firm is launching the Touchcam N1 webcam, which it claims is the first to be approved by Skype for HD calls.
Darren Chen, European managing director of faceVsion, said this initial
offering would primarily be a consumer play and that more SME-focused products
will follow next year.

Imago has been brought on board as master distributor for the UK. A more generalist IT distributor will be added in 2011, said Chen.
Chen claimed faceVsion’s technology has the edge over rivals Microsoft and Logitech.
“We are the only ones that can bring HD to Skype,” he said. “Maybe some resellers think of [Skype] as a threat, but it is booming. You cannot just ignore the trend.”
The vendor is due to open a UK office and Chen said that Quanta’s financial muscle will help it make an impact.
Imago managing director Ian Vickerage said: “We see the next big growth in videoconferencing coming from the proliferation of video throughout the organisation. More and more people want to use it on their desktop.”
