Video Conferencing allows individuals,
small or large groups, businesses and organisations to meet
face-to-face with others, regardless of distance and without
leaving their local area.
Video Conferencing enables
two way vision and voice communication to happen in real time
at a fraction of the cost of physically moving people or groups,
to attend meetings, conferences or even to simply exchange
information.
Video Conferencing between
two sites is classed as a ‘point to
point' videoconference but it is possible to have a number
of sites connected simultaneously in a ‘multi-point' videoconference.
How much does it cost?
Video Conferencing
at Broome Telecentre will cost $88
(GST Inc) per hour at
128Kbs per hour (plus call costs if applicable). This
includes the connection charges, booking fee, setting up
fee, technical assistance for the first 15 minutes and room
hire. Additional charges apply if the Technician is present
throughout the Videoconference.
To send one person to Perth
for a two hour meeting would mean paying for a return airfare,
maybe overnight accommodation, taxi fares and meals as
well as lost productive time out of the workplace.
In comparison
one person or a number of people could participate in the
same two hour meeting for a cost of $176 without incurring
the additional costs indicated above. (plus call costs
if applicable).
How hard is it to use?
After initial
set-up by the Technician it is simply a matter of looking at
the camera and talking.
