Cisco VCS Expressway

Cisco Video Conferencing System (VCS) Expressway

The leader in fully managed large scale video conferencing systems is Cisco Systems, for the same reasons that Cisco is the leader in larger Unified Communications and data network systems.  All the systems are designed to work together, be manageable, secure and reliable. Cisco has changed all that with the integrated video conferencing infrastructure, which is named Cisco TelePresence.There are four main applications that the Cisco Telepresence system uses to make video conferencing a seamless experience. These applications are usually installed in in the primary datacenter.  The four main elements are:

For a description of how they work together, see the Adcap Cisco Video Infrastructure explanation.

Video Conference System (VCS) Expressway is the application that sits outside the firewall and is responsible for making HD video calls between organizations transparent and straightforward. The VCS Control and VCS Expressway boxes work together to send and receive video calls and conduct conferences with outside organizations over the Internet. Just like VCS Control, VCS Expressway can receive calls from devices that use either the SIP or H.323 standard.
For people just starting out with video, many of these same functions can be done by Cisco’s video hosting service, Cisco Callway, and after the usefulness of HD desktop video is demonstrated, the video endpoints can be hooked into the Cisco infrastructure system. Click here for the Cisco VCS Expressway Datasheet.
