Updated Network


We recently updated our network to a ISP (Internet Service Provider) that uses fiber optics.  The reason for doing this was the extra bandwidth we would receive by upgrading.    Bandwidth determines the amount of data that can be sent and received through the network.  The more bandwidth there is, the more data that can be relayed.  This is important because we have two Video Conference rooms.  Because of the extra bandwidth we can now have two sessions occurring at the same time via IP without any worries.  Client’s can also connect to our Wi-Fi during the Video Conference in case they need to access the internet without any problems. 


We also decided to order a bundle of static IP addresses.  This means that each of our Video Conference units have their own assigned IP address which allows them to now receive calls simultaneously.  Being able to both receive and make calls at the same time gives us flexibility.  That was the main purpose of the upgrade, to make us flexible with a network more than up to the task of handling our busy Video Conference division.
