However, what makes this installation particularly significant is that CQU also plans to leverage the RADVISION platform's full support of the SIP communications protocol Hardware and software standards that govern data transmission between computers.

"RADVISION is pleased to have been chosen by Central Queensland University in this huge 160-port installation, spanning Southeast Asia Southeast Asia, region of Asia (1990 est. pop. 442,500,000), c.1,740,000 sq mi (4,506,600 sq km), bounded roughly by the Indian subcontinent on the west, China on the north, and the Pacific Ocean on the east.  in a single integrated videoconferencing network. Both the scope of the project and the architecture used makes this installation significant for RADVISION and the industry as a whole."

"Central Queensland University's video conferencing system is a critical technology underpinning teaching and learning operations. The new RADVISION solution has allowed CQU to extend the reach and application of video conferencing cost effectively, whilst providing reliably and new features that will enhance teaching, learning and collaboration across our campus communities," said Ian Jenkins, Information Technology Division Director at CQU.

"Our new IP based videoconferencing network enables Central Queensland University to deliver in excess of 100 hours a week in educational content, and many more hours of face to face administration meetings, usually difficult to co-ordinate over the long distances between campuses. Our unassisted call completion rate is now greater than 99%," explained Shaune Sinclair, Manager, Flexible Delivery Services.

Broadreach Services played a major role in ensuring a successful implementation, together with the CQU team, through comprehensive implementation management which involved extensive planning, risk management, video application network testing prior to implementation and successful migration to production. "CQU is a pleasure to work with as they have always been very thorough in project preparation and have a very good understanding of the applications, technology and the desired educational outcomes required by educators and students. This makes our life much easier in ensuring expectations are met for all stakeholders and the project is a success" said Shaun Wormald, Broadreach Services MD.
