Videoconferencing

Better-looking images Improved compression technologies have all but eliminated the herky-jerky videoconferences of yore, and better syncing of sound and video also provides more natural interaction among meeting participants.

IP over ISDN Traditional ISDN setups increasingly are being supplanted by integrated Internet Protocol (IP) networks that deliver more signal bandwidth than ISDN can, and across an entire enterprise, rather than point to point. More bandwidth also makes it possible to take greater advantage of other possibilities, such as interactive-whiteboard capabilities and data-sharing across networks.

User-friendly As videoconferencing becomes more prevalent in companies all over the world, manufacturers are creating more intuitive, easier-to-use interfaces for setting up and running conferences.
