The Basics Of Audio Conferencing Services

Audio conferencing services facilitate voice-only communications between dispersed groups. Teleconferencing and webcast services differ in terms of capabilities and costs. Services often include: audio conferencing, web conferencing, video conferencing, and system integration. Web Conferencing is, very simply, a meeting, conference or seminar that is held over the World Wide Web. Web conferencing can refer to audio, video or text-based conversations and are conducted in real-time.

Meeting participants do not need special audio conferencing equipment and may not even require the assistance of an operator. Web conferencing services use telephone lines or Internet connections to enable participants to share documents or view presentations. Applications include project management, distance learning, and financial reporting.

Face-To-Face Technology

Video conferencing allows participants to meet face-to-face and enjoy both audio and video communications in real-time. Applications include product launches and design reviews. Teleconferencing and webcast services that specialize in system integration can help businesses connect existing communications systems to teleconferencing or webcasting technologies.

A video conference electronically links geographically dispersed participants so that they can see and hear each other in a live and interactive environment. Polycom is the standard conferencing equipment at K-State. The K-State Accord bridge allows for multipoint conferencing (multiple sites convening for one conference.) Noninteractive video experiences such as satellite programs, video streaming, web casting, etc.

Smooth Communication

Once the conference attendees have connected to the bridge they may be required to enter their security or identification number. Once this is done, audio communication is established between the parties. During the time that the audio connection is established, the conference attendees may also be connected to the Internet using a web browser with an HTML converter plug in.

Some web meeting services provide just desktop sharing capability. Others give you the added capability to select and show a specific document or application only. You can also pass control to an attendee in your meeting, making that person the presenter.

The Bottom Line Results

Audio conferencing is the battlefield upon which the control for the data collaboration services market share will be won. “This opportunity is truly a single-stroke market-share maneuver for the buying company,” stated Herb Levitin, the President of Powercom in Santa Barbara, California. “The buyer benefits from owning and controlling a targeted customer list, rich in usage of data and audio conferencing revenue, to integrate and market new high margin data collaboration services, while simultaneously decreasing their competition’s market-share.”
