Video conference

In November 2008 a long term charity customer moved to new offices and their IT infrastructure had to be moved. This was the ideal opportunity to fix some of the problems that existed in the old system. People usually think that making things better will always cost them money. Well not always. They had a video conferencing system which used 4 ISDN 2e lines. This was obviously costly in terms of line rental as well as call costs. Also moving this would involve paying install charges for new ISDN lines at the new site.
The solution was to install a second ADSL line and an enterprise class router and route the video conference traffic through the Internet. There were many benefits of this new design. Firstly cost, we saved the cost of installing new lines; we were able to dispense with all the extra cabling and several devices. The second line gave fault tolerance for other Internet traffic. Last and not least the video conferencing worked better over the new system than the old. In summary it was better in every way and saved £1706 annually not including the call costs or the install costs.
