Video Network Audit

KEP Consulting LogoVideo Conferencing has been around since the mid-1960's, but only recently has it been cost-effective and practical enough for everyday usage. With the advent of IP (Internet Protocol) voice and video, we are seeing companies starting to deploy video over their internal IP-based networks. Video over IP is a great concept, but you maybe uncertain whether your network infrastructure will support it without causing bottlenecks and network congestion. If you wonder what the added strain of VideoConferencing will do to your network you will want to consider a KEP Consulting Video Network Audit.
