ORLANDO, Fla., June 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — ClearOne (NASDAQ: CLRO) has launched a new series of integrated packages in its COLLABORATE® line of professional collaboration solutions, the world’s first technology that combines low cost appliances with powerful, scalable, cloud collaboration capabilities.
