Video Conferencing Via VoIP Standard
Posted: 08th Sep, 2003 By: MarkJ
In a move that could lead to a greater use of Internet enabled video phones, the United Nations-affiliated telecommunications group has agreed on a new standard for video conferencing using VoIP (voice over IP):
The International Telecommunication Union's H.350 standard addresses how a network stores and finds video recordings and VoIP telephone addresses, according to Tyler Johnson, a University of North Carolina systems analyst who edited the standard.
VoIP is a cheaper form of phoning being slowly adopted by businesses and consumers. It uses the Internet Protocol, the world's most popular method for sending data from one computer to another. Unlike traditional telephone lines, VoIP systems can combine video images and someone's voice to create videoconferences.
Sadly we've yet to see an affordable home video conferencing phone, which is strange because the technology has always been quite attainable.
These days buying a laptop with a modem and web-cam is cheaper than most of the current video phone devices. More @ ZDNet.
