Videoconferencing That Works. Finally! It's still not cheap, but telepresence technology takes videoconferencing a giant step forward. And did we mention that it's really cool?

Back in the 1960s, the old AT&T 's Western Electric group demonstrated the Picturephone to a doubting world, and the world has remained doubtful ever since.

You are There: High-Tech ‘Telepresence’ is Changing the Face of Videoconferencing


June 01/2007

Business Communications Review (John Bartlett)

Telepresence: Beautiful and Expensive

Teliris also provides a managed network as a part of their service, but only brings its network to a demarc in the building. The customer must provide connectivity from the demarc to the conference room, but high-bandwidth LAN equipment is relatively inexpensive and this is not too difficult. Even if the customer doesn't use a dedicated LAN, and chooses instead to run the telepresence system on a converged LAN, it is not hard to use a separate VLAN and configure it appropriately…
Despite these obstacles, the vendors tout their interest in business-to-business telepresence, and how they are working to support it (at least between their own customers). Today, for example, customers of Teliris can quickly arrange a business-to-business call. The Teliris network is designed to open a secure MPLS tunnel between the two companies for the duration of a scheduled call, and then close it up again to maintain security once the call completes.
