Jason Bordujenko, AARNet

AARNet have done some cool work with Codian (now Tandberg) to customise an easy to use front-end to the bridge management platform. This software also enables port sharing, ie you can create a pool of ports to "share" without buying a massive central bridge.

New Zealand worked closely with AARNet to deploy the work in a trial in NZ. It's working really well.

  • there is some significant work in the telepresence market, led by the vendors
  • above 6-8Mb/s, standard VC codecs are not working so well
  • Desktop (HD) conference products are becoming more common
  • encoding and decoding is still heavy - as vendors optimise for small networks - not an NREN issue
