Internet2 Commons Offers Videoconferencing

released October 07, 2003

Internet2 has announced the launch of the first videoconferencing service from the Internet2 Commons. Network technologies and H.323 video and audio standards combine to create an affordable and accessible service for Internet2's members and partners. For subscribers, the Internet2 Commons provides the equipment, staffing, and expertise to run this new H.323 service, which has been in development for two years. H.323 video and audio standards for Internet protocol-based communications allow various vendor endpoints to seamlessly and compatibly connect to one another.

The Internet2 Commons Videoconferencing Service via H.323 is provided for the Internet2 community in order to create a global, collaborative environment. The larger goal of the Internet2 Commons is to expand IP-based collaboration opportunities for the Internet2 research and education community, allowing members to work together more effectively over advanced networks in support of research and education.
