Video Conferencing Growth

The number of telepresence rooms installed at companies worldwide has grown from an estimated 2,000 at the end of 2008 to about 7,000 today. Although most of today’s multi-screen, high-definition audio and video systems are used privately by vendors for “in-person” meetings, hotel chains and conference centers are also embracing telepresence so that business customers can collaborate over a converged network. Video conferencing solutions are also gaining traction with an estimated quarter-million units being shipped per quarter. Despite this impressive turnaround, the difficulties of interoperability and protocols continue to negatively impact widespread telepresence and video conferencing adoption. Today’s increasing demand for interoperability among key market players like Cisco, Polycom, Microsoft is easy to understand. People want to be able to use any device or platform that they want in order to conduct their business in order to increase efficiency and not worry about the technical problems associated with trying to integrate systems.
