Managed TelePresence Network Connection Service

Deliver New Services with TelePresence
Cisco Managed TelePresence Network Connection service is an optimized MPLS VPN connection. It has the intelligence to:

• Assign priority to TelePresence traffic
• Assign appropriate quality of service (QoS) and burst parameters based on validated guidelines

These features let you deliver an exceptional Cisco TelePresence experience over a converged IP Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) under two models: intracompany and intercompany.

The architecture allows you to:

• Dynamically allocate bandwidth as needed
• Prepare to offer other tiered and bundled services such as managed unified communications and application-aware VPNs

Offering the TelePresence connection service helps you:

• Attract new customers and enhance customer loyalty
• Capture a significant new revenue opportunity
• Grow the connectivity business as TelePresence adoption increases and bandwidth demand rises exponentially
• Deliver new offerings, such as:
• Integrated, highly secure call processing
• Dial-plan options and future integrated scheduling
• Meet-Me multipoint services
• Concierge services

Network Requirements
Cisco TelePresence is the first bandwidth-intensive application that cannot be handled over the Internet. Therefore, your IP MPLS network is relevant to strategic business applications in a new way.

Ultra-High-Definition Video
Ultra-high-definition visual and CD-quality audio impose far greater demands on the network than voice over IP (VoIP) or video conferencing does. Therefore, to offer a Cisco Managed TelePresence Network Connection service, you should introduce a stringent TelePresence application oriented for QoS and high availability.

Bandwidth Requirements
The traffic is transmitted into synchronized audio and high-definition video streams, which require the following bandwidth:

• High definition (1080p): 5 Mbps per stream
• Standard definition (720p): 2 Mbps per stream

Intercompany TelePresence Network Service
The architecture to provide intercompany Cisco TelePresence involves:

• Call processing
• Dial-plan management
• Endpoint authentication and encryption
• Universal directory services and fully automated scheduling (in the future)

The Cisco Managed TelePresence Network Connection service is the first of several from Cisco that will help you build Cisco TelePresence "dial tone." This feature lets enterprise customers connect directly to each other by Cisco TelePresence as easily as they can by phone.
