Hatem’s Diaries

Today I had my first VideoConference between our local team in Makkah and another team in Dammam, to work on a new project between the two administrations. The videoconference equipment was very new, and the network team made the necessary settings to establish connections … etc. The quality was amazing, especially that in Dammam they have a 36Gig line, and we have just 1Gig You can imagine the difference ! The meeting took about one hour, where we agree about different technical issues for the project, and we’ll have another VideoConference this Saturday.

The hardware we have is an TANDBERG Edge 95 MXP with the possibility to join up to 4 video sites and 3 audio sites together. Superior video quality incorporating the H.264 standard and also Protection against network interruptions in point-to-point and multipoint calls with automatic Downspeeding and IPLR. Something that we didn’t think about was to bring a laptop for the presentation, because it’s crazy when you talk with developers for the first time, and I was very happy when they mentioned “webservices”, but very confused when they didn’t understood XML and SOAP that my friend here mentioned to be sure that we are talking about the same thing.
