What is Telepresence? |
Telepresence is an immersive video conference solution that brings people together, face-to-face, regardless of geographical location, to unify organizations and accelerate collaboration and decision-making. Telepresence is different than video conferencing in that visual collaboration is taken to a completely new level - users feel as though they are in the same room and sitting across from the same table as their counterparts that may be hundreds, if not thousands of miles away. It is focused solely on the user experience and meeting environment to create a natural forum that will speed decision making and ensure everyone is on the same page. Solutionz offers a complete portfolio of Polycom telepresence solutions and TANDBERG telepresence solutions ranging from personal to immersive systems. Each solution is simple to use, connects to other standards-based video systems both within and between companies, and works precisely every time. To find out which solution is right for you, check out the Buying Guide below. The Telepresence Buying GuideIn order to ensure you maximize your Return on Investment (ROI) on your solution, use the checklist below to help you evaluate the critical areas: For an excellent quality High Definition telepresence call, what are the bandwidth requirements?Systems can require anywhere from 6Mbps to 20Mbps of bandwidth to and from each site location. Efficient use of bandwidth while maintaining quality is key to the management of your total cost of ownership. Will a telepresence call be terminated by an imperfect network?You need to ensure you have as near perfect of a network as possible. If network reliability isn’t assured and calls frequently drop in the middle of meetings, users will resort to travel for critical meetings in order to ensure success, which will reduce your ROI. Can my telepresence system connect with people on other video conferencing systems like room systems, PC video, or desktop video systems? Is full video image size and quality maintained when my solution interoperates with these other video solutions?Make sure you purchase a telepresence system that can connect with other video conferencing equipment of all makes and types. The inability to connect will result in less use which will directly affect your investment value. On my telepresence system can I setup multipoint calls where I can see all participants on the screen at the same time?You need to ensure you purchase a system that allows for you to view all participants on your screen at one time otherwise this isn’t true telepresence as it doesn’t actually replace the live meeting environment. You need to be able to see and gauge all participants’ body language and reactions to the information presented at hand. How do I go about adding or dropping other locations during a telepresence call?In many instances you may have to use a reservation support person or concierge to do this in order to ensure a seamless call. Can my system connect to telepresence systems that are outside of my organization, not on the same network, and do not share the same video vendor?Make sure that you purchase a system that allows for this – your video vendor will be able to show you how this connection is done.
