What is Video Conferencing?

A video conference or videoconference (also known as a 'videoteleconference' or 'visual collaboration') is the use of real-time video and audio streaming to enable people conversing over the Internet to be able to see and hear each other.

Video conferencing uses telecommunications equipment to allow two or more locations to interact via two-way video and audio transmissions simultaneously for a meeting. This can be as simple as a point-to-point meeting between two people in private offices or as elaborate as a multi-point meeting involving several sites with people in offices, boardrooms, auditoriums, or conference rooms.



The Advancement of Technology Today

Imagine: Conducting a business meeting with people in ten different global locations. Video and audio calls running through your room’s integrated microphones and ceiling speakers. Data visible on plasmas, LCDs, or projector screens. No more having to deal with the inconvenience of travel time, traffic jams, or airport delays – all controlled by simply touching a touch panel.

Until the mid 90's, video conferencing equipment was too expensive for most organizations due to the hardware costs. As a result, most companies had multiple rooms to serve different purposes: there would have been a conference room, a training room, a presentation room, and so on. Although advancements in technology brought about impressive products, they did not necessarily work together – perpetuating the division of rooms to meet different objectives.

However, advancements in technology have made video conferencing solutions an affordable and economical solution for today's organization..Today’s technology allows us to combine all of these objectives into one fully integrated multimedia video conference room, where every piece of equipment works in seamless collaboration to create an end-to-end solution. The results: communication is streamlined and the return on investment is nearly instantaneous - and all with the simple addition of video conference equipment. And what's more, Solutionz offers an all-in-one solution for video conferencing equipment, telepresence, installation, integration, and video conferencing services.
