Introduction to InfiNET Telecommunication System
Introduction to InfiNET
While Teliris' VirtuaLive™ systems can utilize your network, most of Teliris' customers have chosen to utilize Teliris' InfiNET service. InfiNET has been deployed across the world from Beijing to Sydney to London to New York to Chicago to Singapore etc. It is a vendor independent offering so that Teliris can select the best underlying telecommunications system providers for each customer site and guarantee performance of these vendors.
Teliris' is the only telecommunication system provider that can connect across the telecommunications networks of multiple vendors. This has two major benefits for you. First, we are not dependent on a single vendor for your network so that we can initially deploy and make changes over time to ensure the most reliable cost effective connections over time. Second, if you choose to connect to other telepresence users, we can connect your private network to other private networks. Of course, to ensure security, we deploy a separate private network for each customer. We can only connect the networks of multiple customers if both sides of the connection affirmatively provide permission. This is different than other providers who either do not let you connect or place your telepresence meetings on the same networks as other customers and hopefully do not mistakenly, without you knowing it, make your meetings visible to one of their other customers.
Teliris entire telecommunication system is based on the strictest security and privacy provisions that have been reviewed and approved by some of the most security concerned companies in the world.
Bandwidth
A sophisticated use of bandwidth is required to deliver high-resolution images.
Typical data networks are designed to transport data from one location to another in packets of varying length, constancy and order. In the event of an error condition, the target requests the source to re-transmit the data packet. The target site then reassembles the data from the packets transmitted and displays it (or forwards it to the designated equipment).
When transporting video and audio, the transport must provide sequenced packets at a constant rate with no errors.
Teliris' telecommunication system uses a network transport facility known as InfiNET. It can provide significantly greater amounts of bandwidth and conforms to the performance requirements of DVD and HD-quality, interactive video meetings. It is also ubiquitous regarding global breadth and scope. And, it is not dependent on any one carrier.
Implementing a DVD and HD-quality telecommunication system, utilizing InfiNET, requires that the customer’s facility provides the capability for a very high bandwidth and differentiated class of service. Typically, such capabilities are only available with the most current generation network hardware - pre-configured and programmed for such services.
Resiliency
Interactive Telepresence transport systems can be designed with a varying degree of resiliency. The level of redundancy and fault tolerance can be designed to match the levels of criticality of the Interactive Telepresence application.
Transport Options
It is crucial to note that the transport facility chosen for a particular Interactive Telepresence installation is entirely independent of the video solution. Teliris recommends data transports based upon several factors:
- Reliability
- Availability
- Service quality
- Vendor Guarantees
- Cost
A variety of transport options may be chosen for a single Interactive Telepresence configuration. This will be more common for Interactive Telepresence sites not located within proximity to major telecommunications hub sites.
