SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)--
CallWave, Inc. (NASDAQ: CALL), a leading global provider of Internet, mobile and
Web-based collaboration software solutions, today announced the release of Fuze
Meeting, the company`s online conferencing and HD collaboration service. Fuze
Meeting provides desktop sharing and HD video collaboration on any desktop,
netbook and on select mobile devices. By embracing the recent breakthroughs in
virtualization technologies, Fuze Meeting creates a business collaboration
solution built entirely on an Internet-based model, or "in the cloud." 

"The release of Fuze Meeting and the new features of desktop sharing and mobile
HD advance our vision to provide truly mobile conferencing and collaboration
that support high-definition image, document and video sharing from anywhere and
on any device," said Patrick Moran, CallWave`s Vice President of Marketing.
"Users are increasingly demanding the ability to share high-definition content
with meeting participants worldwide. Fuze Meeting is the only offering on the
market to make it easy to share high-definition video in a web meeting." 

Fuze Meeting offers new desktop sharing, mobile HD and integrated telephony
features, enabling users to share their entire desktop with attendees with no
additional software for the attendees to download or maintain. High-definition
video sharing is a key part of Fuze Meeting, allowing image, document and video
sharing directly to attendees` browsers or select mobile devices. The new
service is now available in a capacity-limited version for free or for online
purchase at http://www.fuzemeeting.com starting at just $29 per month. 

Fuze Meeting provides users with an immediate, turnkey way to launch a
collaboration session without the cumbersome hurdles associated with traditional
web meeting events. With no upfront investment required and nothing to download
or install, Fuze Meeting enables users to quickly and easily deploy their
meetings in HD at the desktop and at mobile devices, while ensuring fast,
reliable and secure access to their most important information and content. 

Fuze Meeting provides users with conference call management including visual
indication of conference call attendees and the ability to mute callers. In
addition, the unique "Fetch" feature allows users to add attendees directly into
the web conference, without the user having to type in access codes or PIN
numbers. Fuze Meeting`s integrated IM and presence engine enables users to
connect with public instant messaging (IM) networks in a secure, SSL-encrypted
environment. Fuze Meeting runs on Macs, PCs and Linux devices and is compatible
with all major browsers. 

Fuze Meeting is the first business collaboration solution built entirely in a
cloud-based model, meaning the application runs on an Internet server. Rather
than purchasing and installing software that resides on a desktop or corporate
network, the user downloads from the Internet server for each usage. "Putting
collaboration services in a cloud-based model has many benefits. It is
potentially much less expensive, easier to manage and is available anywhere, at
any time. Cloud computing and HD represent significant technology trends and are
very important to our strategy and our customers," said Ritesh Bansal,
CallWave`s Chief Technical Officer. 

To promote the availability of these new features, CallWave has partnered with
Slideshare.net to sponsor an online presentation contest. More details on the
promotion are available at http://www.slideshare.net/.
