Video Conferencing only as good as the network

Sunday, October 11th, 2009

There is no no doubt that a great part of the ROI from VC comes from avoiding international travels. But that’s where the network problems begin. How do you secure connectivity and bandwidth to arbitrary destinations?

As the market for video conferencing is maturing, businesses’ requirements are evolving from standard definition (SD) to high definition (HD) in order to enjoy a true telepresence experience. In the high-end of the corporate video conferencing market, businesses utilise several conference rooms with multiple HD monitors and HD cameras into one telepresence meeting session.

These advanced video conference and telepresence solutions demand extreme network capacity and reliability. Many corporations extend their infrastructure to support video in their intranet using dedicated links. Besides being very costly and demanding to operate and maintain, the low flexibility and interoperability doesn’t match the expected experience for high quality internet-based visual communication.

A corporate telepresence session should be as easy as picking up the phone, to any customer, partner or employee.
