The oil and gas videoconferencing market is hotting-up with announcements from Viseon and Tandberg. Parker Drilling Company has purchased Viseon VisiFones for video communications between its offices worldwide.
Broadband
Claimed to be the first low-cost broadband videophone, the VisiFone is a stand-alone system that does not require a PC. The VisiFone operates on any broadband connection and home or office network including high-speed Internet connections via DSL or cable modem—delivering up to 30 fps video.
Offshore Europe
At the Offshore Europe Oil & Gas Exhibition and Conference this month Tandberg and videoconferencing partner Global VideoCom were showing high-end videconferencing systems as deployed in Schlumberger’s ‘iCenter’. Top of the Tandberg range is the 7000 Series system, designed for large group conferences and sporting twin 30” LCD screens, embedded security, high bandwidth and built-in conferencing with multiple video and audio sites.
