Advanced Praise
"Organizations are looking to reap the benefits of high definition videoconferencing, but are also looking to contain their network investment. Juniper and Polycom have developed a capability which combines the best of both worlds, ensuring highest quality delivery for the most important videoconferencing traffic, in many cases without requiring additional bandwidth. This convenient handbook describes how to implement HD videoconferencing on Juniper equipment, whether you're in a home office or a traditional site, and it shows how Polycom and Juniper can deliver high-quality video by actively coordinating at the time of the conference. The content is valuable whether you're looking to implement for your own organization or you are a network service provider seeking to leverage to the existing infrastructure to offer HD videoconferencing service."
