Business-class Telepresence Environment
A telepresence system is a high-end videoconferencing system and service usually employed by enterprise-level corporate offices. Telepresence conference rooms use state-of-the art room designs, video cameras, displays, sound-systems and processors, coupled with high-to-very-high capacity bandwidth transmissions.
Typical uses of the various technologies described above include videocalling or videoconferencing on a one-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many basis for personal, business, educational, deaf Tele-Relay and tele-medical, diagnostic and rehabilitative use or services. New services utilizing videocalling and videoconferencing, such as personal videocalls to inmates incarcerated in penitentiaries, and videoconferencing to resolve airline engineering issues at maintenance facilities, are being created or evolving on an on-going basis

Advances made in technology, particularly over the past decade, have no doubt revolutionized much of the way we do business. It’s now so easy to handle most tasks from behind a computer that it almost seems as if there’s no point wasting energy on “face time.”
However, business at its heart is all about relationships, and there’s still no substitute for face-to-face contact when it comes to building those ties. Not only are you missing out on potential revenue by staying behind the desk, you’re also robbing yourself of continuing education, moral support, industry intelligence, personal fulfillment, and the serendipitous business opportunities that only arise when you take a few moments to meet someone new.
I’ll be curious to see how many business exchanges take place via the new iPhone 4 Facetime video feature – will that become the new ‘commonplace’ occurance in every Starbucks? Video in any form is a great supplement to personal meetings – but for my relationship dollar, you just can’t beat being there.
