If your business is one of the many that must pay employees’ travel time, transportation, hotel, and food expenses in order for them to attend meetings in person, you know how these expenses can add up.

Purchasing and maintaining video conferencing equipment is an investment on which you can expect to see immediate returns. Video conferencing is a technology that integrates audio and video, allowing employees to see and talk to each o ...

Submitted By: Jeff CaganIn the 1970's it was the cassette tape crushing the 8 track. In the 1980's it was the VHS VCR putting an end to the BETA VCR. In the 1990's DVD's started the beginning of the end for Video Tapes. And in the 2000's, mp3 players and the iPod specifically are about to start throwing dirt on the grave of CD's. So, which product or service that's been the standard for years, will be the one that sees it's demise in the 2010's... it's one of the oldest technologies you have in your house. Your telephone. To be able to replace an old product or service, and get in a majority of households, you have to have 3 things. 1. A need or want for a new product.2. A new product that is better than the original.3. A price that the majority of people can afford Even though it's in it's infancy, Voip (Voice over internet protocol) technology passes all 3 of the above questions with flying colors. 1.

2008-01-04 01:44:00
12/12/20072007 has been a devastating year for many hopefull VoIP services. In a follow up of our market research carried out 12 months ago in 2006 (85 VoIP services shut down), this year saw a substantial escalation of retail VoIP services shutting down resulting in the death of 171 VoIP providers in the period November 2006 to October 2007.The exponential growth of the VoIP industry in the past 3-4 years is now leading to an exponential growth in fatalities within the industry. The barriers of entry are very low and any tech savvy internet user can get a "VoIP business" up and running within a few days as a reseller. Although many of these now bankrupt VoIP services may have been fly by nights some of the biggest players in the industry were forced to shut their doors in 2007. The largest VoIP service (with over 200000 users) to shut down overnight was the second largest provider in the USA - www.sunrocket.com.

What is VOIP(Voice Over Internet Protocol)?
2008-01-04 01:38:00
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a protocol optimized for the transmission of voice through the Internet or other packet switched networks. VoIP is often used abstractly to refer to the actual transmission of voice (rather than the protocol implementing it). VoIP is also known as IP Telephony, Internet telephony, Broadband telephony, Broadband Phone and Voice over Broadband. "VoIP" is pronounced voyp. Companies providing VoIP service are commonly referred to as providers, and protocols which are used to carry voice signals over the IP network are commonly referred to as Voice over IP or VoIP protocols. They may be viewed as commercial realizations of the experimental Network Voice Protocol (1973) invented for the ARPANET providers. Some cost savings are due to utilizing a single network to carry voice and data, especially where users have existing underutilised network capacity that can carry VoIP at no additional cost. VoIP to VoIP phone calls are sometimes free, while VoIP to p ...

I purchased a Shure wireless receiver with a PGX4 body pack and lavalier mic which works great but only picks up audio from the teacher but not the students. I contacted Tandberg to ask about the Audio science ceiling mount microphone but the sales person laughed as he rattled off the price and told me to just buy a regular microphone and put it at the front of the class. I think I need a mixer in order to continue to hear the teacher's mic, and I know I want minimal wiring on the ground to avoid any accidents. I would really appreciate some tips on how best to approach this.Thanks!"see this forum at : http://www.vtctalk.com/showthread.php?t=25186 ...

Link to a forum : Projectors in the classroom
2007-12-11 23:46:00
First comment from this forum :"I am trying to investigate using projectors in our distance learning labs rather than the TV monitors that we currently have. The problem is, when I look at the specs I have no reference point to go by (knowing nothing of projectors). So, if I look at the lumens I don't know what is bright enough for a lighted classroom, etc. I can figure out how large the area projected from a given distance is, and that kind of "room specific" parameter. What I need to know is minimum resolution, brightness, and possibly the more robust brands to look at for a classroom environment. Another angle may be cost of maintenance. We have a $10k HD projector in our student center for "movie night" and other activities, and I just found out they go through about 2 $300 bulbs per year. That times the 13 or so rooms I intend to convert gets a little pricey. BTW, these rooms will prob be going to the Vtel Vista codecs, so compatability with that is a must. Thanks"see this for ...

First comment from this forum: "We see a lot of threads on VoIP User from people who want to be the next Niklas Zennstrom (and fair enough, we hope you succeed) asking what is required to build a VoIP network.Often these questions are from users who have a basic technical understanding of how it all works, but no real experience of building networks, or telcoms experience with the good old PSTN.And that's fine. As John will no doubt drill into you if I don't, the current VoIP space, in a business sense, is fundamentally about marketing. In fact if you really don't understand the basic elements of networking or telcoms, don't let it stop a brilliant idea if you have one. The technical expertise can be hired in. A number of our own moderators here do exactly that - build networks to your specifications. And thus we discover our first rule.Rule 1 :if you're a marketing genius, you have a greater chance of success with your new VoIP company than if you are a technical genius.A technical ge ...

By: Rajesh RastogiA virtual classroom or VCR is a learning environment that exists exclusively in the form of digital content that is stored, and accessed through network of computers and information systems like PDAs, notebooks, mobiles etc.Physical or Virtual Classrooms?The main difference between the physical classroom and the virtual classroom is those of location, time and spaces required by students and teachers to access and partake in classroom activities. In the physical classroom a physical location must be visited at a fixed time in order to participate, while a virtual classroom is not physically accessed and has no real fixed time or location which is a great boon.The manner in which a teacher delivers educational material remains an important factor in the success of both classrooms. Though both the classrooms employ similar learning theory, curriculum design and pedagogy, live face-to-face interaction is missing in the VCR method, which may have a negative influence.May ...
