Audio Conference System and Benefits

I believe it is the month of August; I went to meet one of my customers at Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. He asked me, is there anything with which we can communicate through ISDN or IP from our conference room. Then it hit me as a food for thought, I planned let’s put it on our blog so that everyone can understand what I have installed there.

Communication has really changed the sessions. It has helped us to reach people over mobile without any movement in physical. We communicate to all the people who are even away from us. There is no barrier for borders as rightly said “World is Flat”. Even sometimes we make a conference call to communicate one or more people. Here the query comes what is Conference for? As well described in Wikipedia that a “conference is a meeting of people who confer about a topic”, it may be in a meeting room or over a mobile.

But what will happen if it is an official meeting to take over in a conference call. It can happen over mobile or in a fixed line too but the query is that whether it will satisfy all the needs required for a Meeting? It cannot cover all the needs for a professional company. But the technology has evolved and now the fixed lines from different service providers are opting for the conference technology. It is good that we have more number of opportunities in hand.

Then, what is an audio conference is all about? It is the same what we are discussing till now. Conference call happening over voice but not through video call is generally known as audio conference. It will happen over PSTN or IP lines only. The highest percentage is for PSTN line in INDIA. If everything is happening over phone then what is the need of an audio conference system. Let’s discuss on this….

An audio conference system is a device which is not only for an audio conference call to happen over IP or PSTN but it has additional features for a professional environment. The features are noise suppression, extendable microphones, smooth keypad, and microphones with echo cancellations, the voice can be reached to the other end of the meeting by sitting from any corner of the room without any bowings or movements from the chair. Most of the devices support 10-15 ft. distance in a meeting room for a conference call to happen.

The highest percentages of sold device with all these features are Polycom sound station which is even has patented technologies under its belt. Siren 22 is the technology which is being patented by the giant in conference product sales is Polycom. The device is highly suitable for professional working environment. This can really help a meeting to happen smoothly for long hours too. It has features that it can be integrated with video conference machine (for few models only). The shape of the device comes like a star which will have 3 mics at the corners and a speaker with a keypad in the middle and a LCD display above. Mute and hold buttons are helpful for a conference call. The device is built with very good hardware for a longer support.

Hence an audio conference is really helpful for the organizations looking for a professional conference meeting to happen.
