Yet another THANK YOU

Although not an official partner in the proiject we would like to acknowledge the good will shown by D. J. Manufacturing, Auckland. They have designed and produced the prototype of the professional Videoconferencing module for our project. A lot of interest is being generated. We have just had news that delayed components have arrived (via the troubled Bangkok airport). This means two more modules will be up and running soon ... will keep you posted.

The First of Our "Secret Weapons" Installed

Time is running out - we are trying really hard to get two more families up and running with their Videoconferencing gear before the end of term. There have been unavoidable delays (Bangkok Airport closure as one example!) however, there is some good news. Last week we installed the first (and only at this stage) "secret weapon". This particular one is designed as a wireless unit. The wireless concept allows this one to be moved from room to room without the usual tangle of cables. The home version will have the wireless-hub (note the slotted flap) exchanged for a Cisco router. The home unit is a two-cable unit 1. A single power cable and 2. an ADSL connection to the aerial or broadband outlet. It is designed as a Plug 'n' Play professional VCing unit to be deliverable by courier and connected without the usual expensive technician present. WE BELIEVE IT TO BE A NZ FIRST.
