		to connect and communicate with other employees across the
		enterprise.

		Video calling and conferencing, file and whiteboard sharing, Web
		push and secure IM connect users as if they are in the same room--
		no matter where they are located.
--		Bluetooth Integration
		With its Bluetooth integration, C4 IP makes it easy for users to
		move around the office--even if they're only going for coffee--and
		still maintain optimum productivity levels.
