Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE)
The Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) is the highest level of professional certification that Cisco provides. CCIE was the first Cisco Certified qualification, and as such there were no other certifications that could be taken prior. The development of the associate and professional certifications was due to recognition of the fact that a CCIE is over kill for many networking personnel, and also for the vast majority of businesses who employ such people, and that certifications needed to be offered at lower levels. Despite the development of the lower certifications, Cisco has chosen not to make them formal requirements for the CCIE certification.

HaiVision's TelePresence Codec Technology Helps Church for All Nations Unite Campuses



What’s the difference between Video Conferencing and Telepresence?
Telepresence picks up where video conferencing left off. Telepresence IS real time, full-high-definition, immersible sound and vision. Telepresence IS most importantly: the feeling of being “there” when you’re “here”. Telepresence is lifelike, video conferencing is not. Telepresence is that hi-line Mercedes AMG, video conferencing is a Ford Escort - Period.
Why Telepresence now?
Video conferencing has been around a while now but has always lacked the feeling we spoke about above. Jumpy computer screens, broken audio and poor lighting add to the impersonal touches of video conferencing (ie slow motion camcorder on top of your computer monitor). Finally, technology, bandwidth, vision and sound have all converged on video conferencing to create the telepresence experience. It’s about time! Crystal clear surround sound and real-time full-high-definition visual effects enhance the feeling of being there – thus telepresence. That nervous twitch, roll of the eyes, sniffle, tap of the foot – things you see when you’re present and sitting across a conference room table – things you don’t see or feel from video conferencing, but do with telepresence.
Today, what “real” uses are there for Telepresence?
There is no short answer even possible here. We’ll name a few, more like we’ll put your imagination to work. Imagine a single specialist doctor in Canada treating patients in Haiti via telepresence. Robots in space doing the actual work while the telepresence operator dons his telepresence helmet and gloves at his workstation in Texas. Meeting your Russian company vice president while you’re in the executive telepresence room at the office in Denver. Just a few…
What are “real” savings of Telepresence?
Your imagination still working on the last answer? Don’t let up yet! What carbon footprint? Don’t need that airplane ticket to go check on your staff in Russia now do you? What lost life in the Iraqi war? Unmanned drones and soldiers via telepresence. Military and combat cost savings? Immeasurable. Less travel costs, airline frustration, fuel, lost time, carbon emissions, etc. Those are tangible, real savings to name just a very limited few.
You starting to see what telepresence can do that video conferencing can’t? We hope you see what we’re seeing! Telepresence – its time has arrived!

(PRWEB) June 17, 2008 -- HaiVision Systems Inc. (www.haivision.com) (Montreal, Canada), the world's leading vendor of performance H.264 network video codecs, announces that Church For All Nations, Colorado Springs, has installed hai1000 telepresence codec technology to join their 3 remote congregations with the central facility during worship.
"The HaiVision systems deliver an amazing experience for our members. The hai1000 makes it possible for us to have a one-church feel with campuses over 400 miles away." explains Pastor David Cowart, who is responsible for the church's media services. "Our goal with this equipment is to eliminate the distance between where our pastor actually preaches from and our satellite campuses. We want to expand the walls of the church to envelop a community that, without this technology, we could not."
The hai1000 enables clear and fluid audio video communication amongst the church's facilities. Unlike broadcast systems that introduce significant latency or conferencing systems that struggle to provide acceptable video quality, HaiVision's hai1000 delivers pristine quality video between locations with negligible delay so that remote interaction is natural and stunningly realistic.
The hai1000 is the most widely used codec system in telepresence. It has a unique multi-channel architecture allowing many sources to be managed within a single system. Reducing transmission delay and assuring audio video synchronization is critical when creating any compelling communication environment. HaiVision has always focused on quality, reliability, and performance, and with the new MAKO-HD codec, delivers an unprecedented 70 milliseconds of end to end latency with perfect audio video sync.
For complete information on the MAKO-HD and hai1000 products, please visit HaiVision's download center at http://www.haivision.com/account/downloads/.
