Welcome to Telepresence Meetings. Welcome to Telepresence Meetings. We put up an original website back in 2007, when the videoconferencing industry was just starting to experiment with more advanced realism in distance meetings. We’ve come a long way in just a few short years, and are quickly moving to full immersions – meetings in virtual reality where you Go without Going. Can you imagine what telepresence will do for the human condition – we’ll work more at home and we’ll converse more with people – but we need to mesh high tech with high touch – like taking a vacation maybe…
Telepresence refers to an evolving set of technologies which allow a person to feel as if they were present at a location other than their true location. Telepresence requires that the senses of the user be provided with such stimuli as to give the feeling of being in that other location. Additionally, the user may be given the ability to affect the remote location. In this case, the user’s position and movements are transmitted in the remote location to bring about this effect – with information traveling in both directions between the user and the remote location.

There are a number of elements to consider regarding the technology and the effectiveness of Telepresence. The extended question is; what components should be involved in evaluating the Return On Investment (ROI)? What will be your total cost of ownership = (initial equipment purchase x licensing cost x labor x maintenance and upgrades) divided by the expected lifespan of the system.
Let’s face it, several of the big dog vendors in the market would love to see you spend several hundred thousand dollars setting up a system, buy more network equipment to handle the giant chunks of bandwidth that these systems consume and pay heavy annual license fees. But if you are on a tight budget, you want more flexibility and functionality for your dollars. No mater if you’re a large corporation or a small business, selecting a Telepresence solution is about how you do business not some vendor telling you how to fit their stuff into your processes.

A commonly asked question … and one that often causes confusion and headaches …. concerns just how much bandwidth does a business require for video conferencing and multi-media applications.
Let’s get right to it and try to shed some light to clear things up a bit. Here’s some basics to give you a good foundation to move forward.
One location running low traffic to view video could be 256 to 384k … Two locations running and downloading files via the internet with video could be 384k-768 … Three locations feeding off a main location through MPLS on a full T1 burstable is up to 3mg’s. Plus, simultaneous allocation of channels with voice, data and video could work fine.
It’s important to consider area’s of traffic for voice, data, internet, locations, … and software specifications, equipment and any devices connected. Where they are ran from and back to …. and the termination points.
You might use a simple T1, DS3, bonded PRI … ethernet (if corporates headquarters is in NY say … and you’ve got multi locations running back through the main server … then it’s something to consider based on what types of software, devices and bandwidth are being worked into the configuration back to your central point.)
