The advent of video conferencing dates back to 1936. The German Post Office set up an analog video conferencing network to connect several other cities to its capital Berlin.
Since then the technology evolved rapidly to meet the increasing needs of modern business oriented world.
Video conferencing or the synchronized two-way transfer of audio and video data between two or more remote locations is now conducted over IP. IP video conferencing not only allows faster data transfer it ensures more secure and reliable network connection too.
Initially, the cost of video conferencing can be high. But the cost-cutting properties of IP video conferencing prove beneficial in the long run.
o It enables face-to-face conversation between people living in remote places

o More flexible when it comes to hardware and software support
o Highly secured data transfer
With IP video conferencing technology universities as well as business organizations can enhance the process of distance learning and training. In the coming decade it is expected to be increasingly used in conducting remote collaborative research and training sessions through a high-performance campus network.
