The key benefits of a hardware solution is delivering the highest quality video and audio. But
the extremely high cost of hardware and operation. As well as limited portability is their
primary disadvantage.
AcuCONFERENCE can deliver close to the highest quality with sufficient bandwidth resources
and with lower cost peripherals. As noted, AcuCONFERENCE “seats” can be utilized by multiple
users and therefore the cost of subscription can be spread among multiple users.
