With the rising price of oil in the world market, companies
have to cut down on certain expenses in order to show a profit. You can cut
down the number of times that an employee travels on business trips and instead
have a video conferencing facility setup that accomplishes the same objective.
But how do you setup video conferencing? The easiest way of
saying it is simply by buying the equipment, having it installed and letting
someone in the office take care of it. But it is not that simple. There are
things you have to aware of first so you are able to purchase the right system.
Let’s first talk about the devices that are used to make
this work. There are three types namely desktop, small group and learn group.
Naturally, the prices of each one varies but the common denominator is the fact
that they can be used over ISDN or IP.
When you have chosen which of the three you want, the next
hurdle is to work on the bandwidth. A T-1 for instance fives you only one line
of communication. What if you need to speak with different offices
simultaneously? For that you will need a T-3 or higher.
If you are having problems with your IP network since it is
not able to handle the additional traffic, the best thing for you to do is to
get circuit switched networks or to deploy additional IP bandwidth capacity.
Earlier, we mentioned ISDN and IP networks. What is the
difference? ISDN stands for integrated services digital network. IP on the
other hand stands for Internet protocol.
