For use at home!
- HD VC Infrastructure ready for service- Institutions are transferred from current SD-
service- First live tests conducted with users
- January:- 2nd line support- External service description, manual etc.- Booking system
- February:- Pre-production
- As of 1 March: fully operational service
Current state of the service
HD MCU in action!
- Customer driven: service developed on request of UMC’s (academic hospitals)
- Five UMC’s have committed for a 3-year period at 25 kEuro/year
- UMC’s cooperate with IKC’s (integral cancer centers with regional function)
- Three IKC’s have committed for a pilot period of 18 months
Business case
Institutions and guest institutions
Functionality provided
Institutions receive:
Permanent rooms on MCU (10) Ad-hoc rooms on MCU (unlimited) Recording of sessions (unlimited) Streaming of sessions (unlimited) Second line support Monthly reporting
Guest institutions receive:
No permanent rooms on MCU No ad-hoc rooms on MCU No recording of sessions No streaming of sessions Second line support No monthly reporting
Adoption of HD VC
Project with following rules
Well defined project proposal including management support
Maximum contribution of 15 kEuro per institution
Contribution based on matching Implementation ultimately 1 August 2009
End-points support H.323 and/or SIP and 720p / 1080p HD
Stimulating adoption of HD VC by means of a contest
Results:
25 compliant project proposals incl. 9 universities, 6 polytechnics & 4 academic hospitals)
Project proves that local HDVC sets have become affordable
All proposals will receive maximum contribution
Significant take-up of HDVC in higher education in 2009
Technical guidelines results in standardization (interoperability)
Adoption of HDVC expected to increase demand of HDMCU
Increased demand of HDMCU results in lower tariffs for HDVC-service
Lower tariffs results in increased adoption of HDVC (‘chicken & egg’)
