The document summarizes the findings of a review of video conferencing capabilities for a client organization. It was found that:
1) The client has the necessary hardware to conduct medium-quality peer-to-peer video conferences using their existing equipment and a basic webcam.
2) To conduct multi-party video conferences, additional software like Microsoft Exchange Conference Server, which could cost over £5000, would need to be purchased and configured.
3) The client's broadband internet connection has sufficient bandwidth for basic video conferencing, but bandwidth may limit conferencing quality or number of participants for more advanced uses.
The document announces the 8th Annual Military Radar Summit to be held from February 23-25, 2015 in Washington D.C. The summit will bring together key military branches, government agencies, and defense contractors to discuss strategies to improve radar capabilities and overcome challenges. Some of the topics to be covered include cost effective upgrades to radar systems, maintaining advantages over foreign technologies, and harnessing developments in over-the-horizon radar and MIMO systems. The event will feature presentations from senior leaders at organizations such as Lockheed Martin, Rockwell Collins, and Sandia National Laboratories.
