Video Conferencing
SIPA has a small videoconferencing facility in conference room 1415, using ISDN lines. It seats a maximum of eight people. Access to this facility depends on the availability of the room and technical staff. All requests must be made through your office administrator. Please submit the online videoconference request form. Also plan to have a test before the actual event. This must also be arranged with the remote site. We support ISDN lines with a speed of 128, 256 or 384.
The cost of videoconferencing varies on the user's affiliation with SIPA and whether the VC call is initiated by SIPA or received from the remote site. A $50 + phone charges (# of ISDN lines per minute) for SIPA units and $100 +phone charges for all other users. If receiving a call from the remote site, there are no additional phone charges.
You should have the following information when requesting this service:
-
The phone number/IP address to call the remote site, if they are not making the call to our site
-
E-mail address and/or phone number of a technical person at the remote site
Speed at which they will connect

Make sure to arrange for a test before the event—you must have alternate times for when our conference room is free
