A lo­cal in­for­ma­tion, com­mu­ni­ca­tion and tech­nol­o­gy provider has made it eas­i­er for small and medi­um en­ter­pris­es to com­mu­ni­cate with the glob­al com­mu­ni­ty.Il­lu­mi­nat T&T Lim­it­ed has part­nered with Avaya Inc to in­tro­duce video con­fer­enc­ing tech­nol­o­gy tar­get­ed to all size of busi­ness­es.

Elv­ing San­tana, a sys­tems en­gi­neer said two types of video con­fer­enc­ing are avail­able. The first type is Peer to Peer con­fer­enc­ing which does not need any ex­ter­nal de­vice, so it can be ac­cessed via desk­top com­put­ers or iPads. The sec­ond type, which in­volves more than two peo­ple, us­es the Scopia Mul­ti-con­fer­enc­ing Unit (MCU)."It would al­low you to see on the screen a num­ber of peo­ple based on the num­ber of ports that the MCU has," San­tana ex­plained.

He said a com­pa­ny want­i­ng to use the tech­nol­o­gy has to ob­tain a li­cense for the num­ber of users it wants. Avaya IP Of­fice is a New Jer­sey pri­vate­ly-held glob­al provider of busi­ness com­mu­ni­ca­tions and col­lab­o­ra­tion sys­tems.The tech­nol­o­gy en­ables com­pa­nies to com­mu­ni­cate from any part of the world. San­tana said the tech­nol­o­gy is suit­ed to the pub­lic sec­tor al­so. Uni­ver­si­ties, health pro­fes­sion­als and the glob­al busi­ness com­mu­ni­ty have all used the tech­nol­o­gy.

Asked to elab­o­rate on how the tech­nol­o­gy is used in the health sec­tor, San­tana said if one coun­try does not have a spe­cial­ist to treat an in­jured or sick per­son, they can show the in­jury to a spe­cial­ist abroad via video con­fer­enc­ing. He said the use of the tech­nol­o­gy is pop­u­lar in the health sec­tor in the Unit­ed States.
