[SatNews] This is being described as a breakthrough for the high definition video conferencing market…
Magor Communications and Emerging Markets Communications (EMC) have successfully conducted a live demonstration of real-time, HD video conferencing over unmanaged Internet and EMC’s VSAT service at the Wainhouse Research Collaboration Summit, taking place at the Doubletree Hotel in Philadelphia. During a packed session on Tuesday morning, Magor and EMC conducted a live point-to-point visual collaboration call between a Magor TeleCollaboration system in Philadelphia and a Cisco C20 in Nairobi, Kenya. The call was made from Philadelphia to Germany over the Internet. From Germany, it connected to Nairobi via EMC’s VSAT service. Once that call was complete, the companies conducted a peer-to-peer multipoint call between three Magor TeleCollaboration endpoints located in Philadelphia, London and Miami. This call used Magor’s scalable video coding (SVC++) to connect from Philadelphia to London over the Internet. It then connected to Miami via a satellite connection out of Germany. Miami then automatically closed the mesh to connect back to Philadelphia via a satellite in Hawaii. The successful demonstration was an important advancement for delivering real-time HD visual collaboration services to remote locations across the globe.
