Interop 2010 - Video Conferencing and Blazing Fast Switches

It’s that time of year again. I’m in Vegas for Interop reviewing all the new technology and emerging trends. Thought I’d share a few insights from the show.


This year, I’m struck by the number of video conferencing vendors that are at the show. The quality of the technology is incredible and both the service and the equipment are getting more cost-effective. If your company has multiple offices it’s definitely worth considering. On the tech side, there are new blazing fast switches that have been built to keep up with the increased load from the usage of video on networks. Very impressive stuff.

The best booth so far has to be Xirrus, primarly because of the live boxing (picture below). They did a great job getting me to pay attention to their pitch and not mind it one bit. Huge crowds and well it was fun. Kudos to that marketing team!
