Video Conference
Over Public Internet

2. Why Multipoint Video conferencing over the Internet?
Videoconferencing is moving from ISDN to IP networks for Transmission.
The drivers for the changes are basic : BETTER QUALITY AT LOWER COST
Quality Cost
ISDN • ISDN based video conference •ISDN network charges are usage based.
average data rate is 256k. Lip •Require multiple ISDN connections and
synchronization to audio is less than bonding
perfect. •The expense of running a video
•Fragile bonding of multiple ISDN, conference at high rate is EXPENSIVE
should any connection experience a •Cost of maintaining a separate ISDN
problem or failure, the meeting can network
be impacted or may fail.
•Need a separate ISDN network
IP • Able to support higher data rate on •Existing Internet cost
a single connection •More usage more cost effective

3. Why StarHub’s Multipoint Video conferencing?
Ease of Use
Operator will call & connect the participating sites to the video conference
Operator will Meet & Greet participants to the meeting
Operator will monitor each call for disconnects
Clients can always reach an operator 24x7 to assist with the call
In the event of a disconnection an operator will attempt to reconnect the call
within moments.
All these done securely without intruding your privacy

4. Why is it better ?
Quality
With StarHub’s Hybrid network quality exceeds that of connections over
ISDN legacy switch networks
Channel bonding and synchronization issues are eliminated with IP
As connections take a direct and dedicated route to international
destinations via private IP network
Reduces ghosting, freeze frames and temporary disconnects – all
those interruptions that make videoconferencing seem less than
desirable

5. Why is it better ?
Reliability
Public Switched ISDN “economizes” traffic, causing freeze frames and
temporary disconnects – This solution prevents that possibility
Staying on one global IP network to transport all international
connections ensures that the path taken remains consistent from call to
call
Conferencing sites are certified before any call begins
Network redundancy for disaster recovery

6. Why is it better ?
Affordability
No call transport cost when using IP via Public Internet
Higher call rates (512kps) are available without incremental bandwidth
cost increase via IP
No added costs for upgrading hardware, software or infrastructure –
works with your existing equipment as it also support ISDN
StarHub can connect your locations without changing your local ISDN
access provider, nor do we require additional hardware on-site.
H239 Technology (People & Content) can further improves collaboration
by allowing you to show the vide of a speaker with any data they are
presenting.

7. Why is it better ?
Rich Content
Collaboration by allowing you to show the video of a speaker with any
data they are presenting.
