Thanks for the reply.
I really think that a ClearSea solution would work very well for you. Please note the link to the paper on the “turn-key” ClearSea approach sold by the “port”. This is the most economical method to deploy and manage 1000’s of client desktops. Especially with educational discounts starting at 26 ports. You could could implement a ClearSea educational solution for less than $50 a desktop – a one-time fee.

Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
Thanks again for the conversation. Donn

Actually I have 6 Mirial licenses and we’re playing with those too. If you want to comment further – feel free to do so on my most recent Mirial post: http://vcoutonalim.org/2010/03/23/thinking-about-mirial-softphone/

Video conferencing that can auto navigate H323 & SIP, as well as work with both desktop (PC-MAC) and room systems has been the industry’s challenge.
Louisiana State University (LSU) recently rolled out Mirial across the campus, to all departments, and to the students for the reasons below:
-Open-standards based
-Operates on both PC’s and MAC’s
-Simple for users (increased adoption), simple to implement, simple to support
-Complete interoperability w/all manufacturers
-Works well for online and class room learning

But we are keeping an eye on what you offer and may soon have some LifeSize systems as well…. Thanks for your comment.

Only have had a glance around your site thus far, but it looks like you have a lot of great content about video conferencing in the Education world. One question — I was wondering how you settled upon Polycom and Tandberg as your VC systems of choice? What other systems did you look at in making your decision? Full disclosure: I am an employee at LifeSize Communications. I am not trying to sell to you or anything; I really want to know what a professional in the education industry would like to see in their systems. Price? Quality? Ease-of-use? Thanks!

I am an emergency doc in Cedar Rapids, Iowa but did my training at William Beaumont in Royal Oak/Detroit. I am working with a web based videoconferencing company to help patients (especially kids) stay connected to loved ones while in our hospital. They really have a cool service but they are small and are having a hard time getting attention. The founders are both former teachers and have a great story. Would you be able to exchange some emails to discuss how they might get their name out there? I am really encouraged by what they are doing and want to see them thrive.
