Since 1994 Iain Smith has designed and commissioned over 800 videocommunications sites most of which are used for telemedicine, distance learning and public authority activities.

The choice of equipment for each of these projects was proposed with careful consideration to match the individual requirements of the user whilst retaining the ability to connect with any other standards based videocommunications location world wide using ISDN, IP, ATM and Leased Line services.

The initiative for using Digital Communications is economy and these services offer many opportunities for users to reduce costs. These cost savings can be achieved through the use of a small set of well documented interfaces which encourages interconnectivity between equipment vendors internationally whilst offering a common medium for voice, data and image services to be transmitted and received over the same circuits. Standard interfaces also reduce the risk of obsolescence and allow services to be added as users require them without unnecessary changes in communications hardware.With the advent of H.321 and H.323 additional support for connectivity to Ethernet and ATM media structures, further exploitation of the capabilities of the technology is secured.

Matched with the correct A.V. devices, digital communications systems have proved to be a strong and efficient means of supporting distant locations with a variety of services including staff development, social services, vocational training, distance learning, dentistry, medicine, surveillance and remote medical and industrial diagnosis.

Videocommunications Consultancy Services are available on a daily or weekly basis.
