Videoconferencing technology allows two or more people at different locations to see and hear each other at the same time. It provides the ability for persons or group of persons geographically separated to have face to face meetings with the ability to collaborate in almost real time. Due to the cost and concerns of traveling, video conferencing has become an important communications solution in the business place.

LAN-based videoconferencing encompasses several commonly deployed network topologies (Ethernet, DSL, T-1, PRI, ATM, Internet, etc.). The current standard for this type of videoconferencing is named H.323. Regardless of the network backbone you choose the common denominator is TCP/IP stack that allows data to move freely across the network. The key considerations for this type of conferencing are bandwidth and QOS (Quality of Service). A higher bandwidth buys you faster video performance. However, QOS typically suffers if you do not have control over the bandwidth.

ISDN-based video teleconferencing systems use digital phone lines to communicate. The current standard for this type of videoconferencing is named H.320.These digital lines are composed of two 64k data channels. Each ISDN line has a combined bandwidth of 128k. These lines can be combined by using an Imux (Inverse Multiplexor) to increase performance. Typical ISDN videoconferencing systems operate at 128k (1 ISDN Line) or 384k (3 ISDN lines). Real time video transmission at 30 frames per second requires 3 ISDN lines (384k).
