Philip Siefert, Australian and New Zealand regional director for Tandberg, say the two companies will deliver a solution with capacity for the department to securely connect 2,200 locations via multi-site high-definition video and audio conferencing. “Once fully deployed, students from any NSW state school will have increased capacity to interact with each other and receive course material irrespective of both their location and the teacher delivering the lesson. “DET’s interactive classrooms allow students to take virtual excursions anywhere in the world, while schools will be able to beam experts into classrooms for real-time lectures, communicate with peers in other parts of the state, and significantly expand subject choice by providing classes online through videoconferencing.” According to Siefert, the initial deployment of video conferencing technology has already had a big positive impact on NSW school students, and, she says “by utilising the bridging technology from this project, it will raise collaborative learning in our state education system to a whole new level.” Dimension Data NSW state manager, Pete Murray, says the partnership with Tandberg and DET is “building on the good work we have been doing to date for DET in the areas of video, IP telephony and security.” |
