Video Conferencing Conference Sessions
Choosing a Video Conferencing Solution Location: Lagoon F
Traditional video conferencing vendors and a set of recent market entries are pushing a wide variety of video conferencing solutions all the way from high end Telepresence suites to software solutions running on the PC desktop. Which technologies will provide the right communications solution for the needs of your enterprise? This session will propose a decision tree for sorting through the vendor offerings and hype and focusing on the right size, right bandwidth and right features to meet your visual communications needs.
John Bartlett is a leading authority on real-time traffic, application performance and Quality of Service (QoS) techniques. He specializes in helping enterprises manage voice, video and data application performance. Recent work has focused on designing global networks to best support video conferencing and telepresence systems. John has 32 years of experience in the semiconductor, computer and communications fields in marketing, sales, engineering, manufacturing and consulting roles. He has contributed to microprocessor, computer and network equipment design for over 40 products. He has been consulting since 1996. Prior to working as a consultant, John was a founder and VP of Engineering and Manufacturing at Agile Networks, now part of Lucent Technologies. Under his leadership, the company designed and built a high performance Ethernet switch implementing VLANs, and one of the first commercial ATM switches. Both products were successfully introduced to the market and the firm became profitable before it was acquired. Mr. Bartlett also served on the IEEE 802.1 committee during this period, and contributed to the development of the IEEE 802.1P and IEEE 802.1Q standards (priority and VLANs.) John is a graduate of Dartmouth College, and Dartmouth's Thayer School of Engineering.
Personal Video Conferencing Models and Demonstrations Location: Lagoon F
Desktop video conferencing has traditionally consumed the PC, used up the screen real-estate and provided poor images. Has this technology evolved into a useful tool? What are the enterprise applications where desktop video can provide productivity enhancements or better customer interactions that justify its deployment? In this session we will quiz the desktop video vendors to see if we can rationalize deploying yet another complex application on the desktop.

DEEP DIVE - Network Requirements for Enterprise Video Conferencing Location: Lagoon F
Video conferencing could be the toughest application your enterprise network has to support. It places significant bandwidth demands on the network, while simultaneously demanding priority treatment (QoS). Designing the right network solution to support an enterprise video conferencing deployment is critical to getting early positive feedback on using a video capability which will affect its acceptance as a business tool. This two hour session will look at the technical details of designing, testing and managing an enterprise network to support high quality video conferencing and telepresence communications with deep dives into security, LAN QoS and WAN QoS issues.

New Trends in Video Conferencing - Sponsored by Alcatel Lucent Location: Mandalay Bay L
Twenty years ago video conferences started 30 minutes early to accommodate temperamental ISDN networks and video hardware, and these islands of technology ultimately offered a very poor user experience at a very high price. Video was used in special circumstances or reserved for executive access. Now with lower prices, better hardware and performance and most importantly deployment ease, video is accessible to enterprise users. Unified communications-based video conferencing today offers a user-friendly and productive way of getting work done, while today’s new video appliances offer a panoramic experience for the price of a good laptop PC. Attend this session for an insider’s view of video communications applications and trends.
