Jeff Walker, video planning engineer for IHETS, says the System 80 provides members with two-way terrestrial video communications via a true software-based architecture that supports different platforms and standards. ìThe user interface was so simple that anyone with minimal information could come in and quickly moderate a conference.î
IHETS served as a beta site for System 80 and fully evaluated three competitive bridges before the purchase. MultiLink, Inc., Andover, MA, (508) 691-2100, www.multilink.com.
