What is "codian"

Codian is a former supplier of video conferencing products. The company became part of Tandberg in 2007, which became part of Cisco Systems in 2010.

Codian was founded in 2002 and based in Langley, Slough, UK. Its main products included Multipoint Control Units and gateways. It was acquired by Tandberg in 2007 for USD 270 million and its products continued to be sold under the "TANDBERG Codian" brand name. Tandberg was itself acquired by Cisco Systems in 2010 for USD 3.3 billion. Codian products are still supported and developed by Cisco under the same brand name, and Codian's original technology was used by Cisco to develop its own line of TelePresence servers.
