As part of the distribution agreement, Polaris will serve as the distributor of 
choice for Highfive's web conferencing and meeting room solutions in Australia 
and New Zealand. Highfive's web conferencing plans include Starter, Advanced 
and Premier:

    -- Highfive Starter is ideal for smaller remote teams so they can easily 
       connect and collaborate; 
    -- Highfive Advanced is perfect for businesses requiring more robust 
       features to connect with colleagues, partners and customers; and 
    -- Highfive Premier is designed to enhance productivity for larger groups 
       of remote teams, providing a full suite of collaboration tools.

Highfive's meeting room solutions, Select, Plus and Premium, include everything 
a business needs to convert their meeting rooms into smart spaces, providing 
seamless experiences for end users regardless of their location or device. 

"More businesses are allowing their employees to work from home or remote and 
we believe this trend will continue for the foreseeable future," said Matthew 
Borchert, Strategic Sales Director at Polaris Communications. "We're thrilled 
that we can enhance our business portfolio by offering Highfive's cloud-based 
web conferencing software and meeting room solutions to our valued business 
customers across the APAC region. Together with Highfive, we've got our 
customers covered from their living rooms to their meeting rooms."

Running on AWS and the Google Cloud Platform, Highfive was born in the cloud. 
The company's WebRTC-based native cloud video platform was specifically built 
for easy, reliable, and secure business communications and collaboration. As a 
result, Highfive provides end users with simple, one-tap connections from any 
device, while its partnership with Dolby delivers "like you're there" 
experiences. Additionally, all Highfive data is fully encrypted, providing 
secure business continuity and keeping meetings safe and secure. Polaris 
business customers can trust Highfive's domain-based security and privacy 
approach to keep unwanted visitors from "bombing" their meetings, and Highfive 
never shares customer data with any third parties. 

"We're delighted to be partnering with Polaris to provide Highfive, the highest 
quality, most easy to use, and affordable video conferencing solutions ideally 
suited for small- to medium-size businesses," said Richard Borenstein, Chief 
Revenue Officer at Highfive. "This partnership gives Highfive greater reach 
across the globe, while providing our products, services and customer support 
to a region starving for high-quality video conferencing that's simple to use, 
highly secure, and provides the necessary collaboration tools and workflows 
workers need to do their jobs more effectively and efficiently."
