Unique Video ApplicationsUnique Video Applications

• First responders: Mobile and ruggedized video systems enable police, fire, and medical emergency crews to relay vital information in real time.

• Telemedicine: Doctors can consult with specialists such as surgeons and cancer care physicians to speed decision making. Patients unable to attend remote clinics, too sick to travel, or under long term care can visit with nurses and doctors from the comfort of their homes


• Banking and financial services: Video enabled kiosks enable customers to talk to financial specialists about retirement plans, mortgages, education loans, etc. while banking institutions can leverage specialists across multiple regions and large geographies.

• Telejustice: Videoconferencing is used in many different parts of the legal systems, enabling arraignments of dangerous prisoners without the risk and expense of moving them into the courtroom; allowing judges to preside over distant courtrooms, and enabling deposition of distant witnesses and experts.


• Telecommuters and teleworkers: Video-enabled communications enables telecommuters and other remote workers to be more connected with their managers and to feel less removed from the center of activity.

• Distance Education: Videoconferencing is being used to enrich educational curriculums, leverage highly-qualified teachers by extending specialized subjects to rural areas, increase collaboration between instructors, provide increased professional development, and to improve administrative efficiencies.
