In the next phase of research, the goal is to develop an effective model and guideline for managing and operating H.323 videoconferencing services over the VCCS intranet. Specifically how is the network managed on the campus and across the intranet to ensure efficient use of the available bandwidth and the best possible service. This system also can participate in IPTV streams across the VCCS Intranet yet this application requires further research before system-wide implementation. This system will support higher bandwidth in the future. Intel TeamStation features allow users to conduct 384 kbps video conference at up to 30 frames per second.
Wideband audio provides rich sound for meeting participants.
Network congestion will also impact videoconferencing calls, as bursty data traffic competes with H.323 videoconfering. All of these variables affect what we see, hear and share on our existing Local Area Network with access to the Wide Area Network. Lighting and acoustics must be sufficient to support larger room videoconferencing requirements. The room should be wired with category 5 cabling, electrical power, telephone, and have at lease one connection to Local and Wide Area Network. Video bridges provide multipoint connectivity between multiple H.323 desktops.
