Telepresence - A Virtual Conference Room
The leading-edge Telepresence technology creates virtual conference rooms and enables live, personal communication over any distance. Using high-definition video and advanced audio, the solution delivers immersive, face-to-face interaction experiences. People appear lifelike and life-size, so it is easy to keep eye contact, watch the non-verbal gestures of everybody in the meeting as well as enjoy many other advantages of personal communication. The Telepresence conference participants can easily bridge long distances and connect in an instant without leaving "the desk in their office".
With the Telepresence technology you can hold team meetings worldwide, use your working time more effectively and significantly reduce your travel costs.
The Telepresence technology is extremely easy to work with and does not require almost any other technologies between the interacting parties (it uses IP phones as its interface). The system is ergonomically optimized (the visual technologies, room equipment, lights etc.) and was designed with the latest scientific findings about non-verbal communication in mind. In addition to voice and video transmission, Telepresence offers a number of other useful utilities - for easy scheduling, effective presentations (e.g. whiteboarding), document editing and the like.
To transmit 3D sound and video (in HD resolution), the system uses your current IT infrastructure, and thus helps you use your existing information system more effectively. Nonetheless, to ensure non-problem operation of the technology, the conference rooms for 12 up to 16 people have to meet strict lightning and acoustic requirements.
The smaller versions of Telepresence can be installed in one of your conference rooms, which makes them an ideal solution for off-campus offices or small-sized companies. The standard delivery includes a set of unified and ergonomically optimized conference tables. Telepresence uses standardized protocols - VoIP and Video Call Control for communication transmission management, and a signaling protocol SIP.
ANECT a.s. implements Telepresence on both national and international level - point-to-point as well as point-to-multipoint.
Why is ANECT a.s. a suitable provider?
We offer a unique opportunity to come and try the Cisco Telepresence technology "live". We have virtual meeting rooms in our offices in Prague, Brno and Bratislava, and use them for our internal communication.
We can also provide a financial (ROI) analysis.
The process of Telepresence implementation
The whole implementation process is managed by our specialists. Because Telepresence is a specific and demanding concept, everything is always defined before the project is kicked off. When the implementation is finished, the solution is always audited by our specialists, who issue a quality certificate.
The process of Telepresence implementation consists of the following stages:
- Infrastructure analysis
First and foremost, ANECT´s experts will analyze your existing infrastructure and recommend the changes of your information system that are necessary for the implementation of this type of long-distance communication technology. - Conference rooms analysis
Also your conference rooms will be carefully examined to make sure they are ready for the Telepresence deployment. Non-problem operation of this leading-edge technology requires rooms with appropriate audio, lighting, furniture and other devices parameters (the standard delivery of Cisco TelePresence CTS-3000 for 12 people includes unified, highly ergonomic conference tables). - Recommendation
The complex analyses of your infrastructure and conference rooms provide ANECT a.s. with all the data needed for the next stages of the project. At this point, ANECT a.s. makes a list of changes that are necessary for non-problem operation of the Telepresence technology. - Proposal and implementation
When your infrastructure is upgraded and the conference rooms are ready, the process of implementation is proposed and the technology deployed. - After-sale technical support
At the end of the implementation, ANECT a.s. makes an offer to provide technical support services included in its technical support package (ANECT SUPPORT): remote network monitoring, professional support, ICT servicing, outsourced services etc.
In what ways can the service be provided?
As a project - analysis, delivery and implementation
We specialize in delivering and implementing CISCO TelePresence, but upon customer´s request we can also deliver Telepresence by other producers.
