November's Progress

This month we are in the process of setting up two further families. It is our intention to have a total of three families operating before Christmas. This will allow those three students to "practise" VCing between each other over the holiday break. When we return in February we expect to meet potential new families at a "Family Day" BBQ at the Village to discuss further installations.
What I haven't mentioned is our new world's-first innovation currently being developed in a top secret location here in Auckland. The intention is to create a plug 'n' play installation pack. Typically, professional VCing (as this project is) requires skilled technicians to be present at the set-up stage. This is impractical and expensive for our project due to the large distances involved. If we can pull this innovative concept off it could be a break-through in professional VCing. The concept is based on the combination of SIP protocol (as opposed to H.323) and a single-power-cable module. Although the development of the prototype has delayed the project a little, we expect the potential benefits to outweigh any perceived delay.
