Videoconferencing at Michigan Tech
Michigan Tech supports H.320 (via Merit Network), H.323 (IP) conferencing, and web-based video conferencing. Our Lifesize High-Definition videoconferencing system, lifesize.com, provides clear video quality and multimedia sharing between endpoints. In addition to the High-Definition videoconferencing service, MTU has partnered with Merit Networks to provide support for Michigan Tech's ISDN gateway/bridging services for videoconferencing. Please note that the local MTU videoconference ISDN/gateway service is no longer available.

Adobe Connect Pro
Spring 09 we are piloting Adobe Connect Pro as a replacement for Marratech as an Internet collaboration solution for virtual and emeetings ( Marratech product is now end-of-life Summer 09). Connect Pro allows you to have real-time, multi-point collaborative meetings online. This technology includes chat, video, VoIP, whiteboards, native PowerPoint presenting and sharing, desktop/application sharing and more. Please see Adobe Connect Pro at Michigan Tech.
