Multipoint infrastructure

With a multipoint infrastructure, you can establish a videoconference conversation between many people in many different locationsbeyond point-to-point videoconferencing.

There are many professional situations that require a large number of people around a table, whether for discussions, exchanging information or resolving conflicts. Videoconferencing often only offers the possibility of establishing a connection between two points.

A Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) gives you this ability to manage multipoint communications centrally.

Increase the number of participation venues

Some meetings to make important decisions or to bring together the expertise of numerous players located in different places require centralized videoconferencing management to enable a quality collaborative experience.

One of the major challenges to the success of multipoint videoconferencing is the disparity of devices and communications technologies (ISDN or IP networks) used by the various videoconferencing players.

MCUs are a key element in many videoconferencing networks.

 Advantages of a Multipoint Control Unit (MCU)

• centralized management and coordination of calls/participants
• enhanced communication compatibility between old and new systems (conversion between SIP and H.323)
• output quality often superior to point-to-point videoconferencing thanks to the use of algorithms that adjust values from different terminal types
