INTERNET TELECONFRENCING TECHNOLOGY

Videophones are within Your Reach Videophones are no longer a fantasy item that people wish they owned, they are now accessible to people from every day walks of life. Today's technologies, especially internet technology, mean that the widespread use of videophones continues to rise and that these phones are affordable. In fact, running a videophone does not cost any more than the cost of having a traditional telephone... and it may even be less for some people. Videophones Don't Require Complicated Set Up and Installation Videophones are extremely simple to use. One of the main benefits of having a videophone is that as well as providing a great service, they also require minimal set up and installation. They just need to be plugged into an Internet connection to be used. In my opinion, the best videophones are the ones that place phone calls through the Internet. This offers increased savings since Internet phone calls are extremely cheap. This is a great feature of ACN video...

If you take a few moments to think through your life, you will most likely agree that some of the happiest moments of your life have involved a major family event, family gathering or celebration. In most cultures, certain key life events are always celebrated. Usually weddings and the joining of families are celebrated, the birth of children, christenings and other religious ceremonies are celebrated, as are birthdays in our culture! Video phones let you stay in touch and enjoy the moment with family and friends on special occasions no matter where in the world you happen to be. One of my favorite videophones is issued by the ACN Network. The IRIS 3000, the videophone that they offer is very easy to use and can be taken anywhere. The ACN videophone runs on a global service that is so far reaching that as long as you can find a broadband Internet connection you will be able to use your videophone. ACN phones are connected to the network through a normal LAN connector and they do not re...

Our world continues to get smaller and smaller. It is feasible today to be able to conduct business anywhere across the country and across the world. Business meetings may take place among associates of the same company in different parts of the country, perhaps in many satellite offices of the same company. It could be that a meeting is needed with one or more an outside parties or consultants and another employee in your company. Or perhaps a client is unwilling to travel. In any of these scenarios, a business conference call is a great option with many benefits. Because there are so many companies to choose from and so many varied options in terms of the method your company chooses to conduct them, conference calls are a great option for your business. It is a less costly option than traveling when taking into account the cost of airfare, rental cars, meals, and hotels for several people. It is more difficult to keep tabs on meal expenses, etc. when employees are on the road. Trying...

Video conferencing like many of today's technologies is completely changing the way that we communicate. The world of communications is almost unrecognizable to how it was just 20 years ago. I don't need to point out the fact that almost everyone on the planet owns a mobile phone. This is true in the developed and in the developing world. Even with these accomplishments, communications technology continues to shuttle along at break neck speeds of progress. Video conferencing is no exception to this rule. More and more people are using video conferencing in their homes. Whereas people used to only video conferencing while they were at work in the office, or conducting business elsewhere, video conferencing is now being done increasingly among friends. Video phones add another level of intimacy to a phone conversation with a friend, they make communicating more 'real' than when using a traditional telephone with just voice features. Most impressive about these phones is t...

Since beginning this series of articles on videophones, I have attempted to explain to you just how powerful a tool video conference calling can be for close friends and families. Those that own videophones enjoy a closer level of communication with one another. They are able to look into each other's eyes while talking and see each other's facial expressions. While all of this is true for people on a personal level, business owners, professionals and the people that work for them can also benefit greatly from having access to video phones. Contrary to what many small business owners might think, video conferencing is not just a tool for big business! Small and medium-sized businesses should add videophones to their basic list of business tools. They are a communications tool that is vital to every business owner that has a desire to operate their business without limits. How does video conferencing benefit smaller businesses? Every small business owner comes to a point when th...
