| 10 | 11h30 | Wireless digital conferencing...Conferencing made simple! Presented by John Vellone, Canadian Manufacturers Rep., Vellone Communications Sponsored by Listen Technologies Technological advances mean that sophisticated audio conferencing systems can combine the convenience of wireless with the security of traditional systems. Wireless gear is becoming widely accepted, both in the professional and the consumer worlds. And wireless audio conferencing is an option that more and more users are willing to consider. There are, however, a number of concerns that prevent people from trusting a wireless conferencing solution. There is the idea that if a delegate unit is not connected with a solid wire, there is no guarantee that it will work. And what if you are having a highly confidential meeting – will you ever know if someone else is listening in on the conversation? Finally, do you have to understand the ins and outs of radio waves and frequencies to set up a system with confidence? Luckily, things are not as bad as one might think. Of course, there are a number of technological challenges involved in making a wireless connection robust and reliable. The good news is that today, technology has evolved in such a way that it is possible to build a conference product that combines the user experience of a wired system and the convenience of a wireless one. |
