IP Network Impact
All video conferencing systems require non-trivial amounts of bandwidth to implement. However, Vidyo’s architecture provides IT professionals with the tools needed to mitigate the impact this might otherwise have on an organization’s IP network while also making it possible to avoid the cost of setting up a parallel dedicated network. Since VidyoConferencing utilizes Scalable Video Coding (SVC) and supports a superior solution for packet-loss handling, a network administrator might even choose to set the priority of Vidyo packets below those set for other applications on the network. The system’s bandwidth requirement, meanwhile, is concentrated at the VidyoRouter. And since Vidyo’s system is able to perform well over the public Internet, this component can be hosted in “the cloud,” thus allowing you to leverage inexpensive bandwidth from a hosting provider while offloading your own internal network.
Additionally, with desktop users enabled to work from remote locations by way of existing broadband Internet connections, traffic on the organization’s local network might actually drop. Compare that to the cost of installing dedicated high-quality networks (MPLS, for example) required by other Telepresence -quality video conferencing systems. You’ll quickly see that Vidyo pays for itself over the first few months of operation on just this basis alone.
