2 AARNet Video background NVCS Exchange MCU s H323 Video Video Conferencing H.323 ACSS Bookings Desktop Video

3 Why a Exchange? Enables on-net inter-institution National and international connectivity Add value to AARNet members existing (and future) investment in Provides a platform for a national virtual meeting capability Global/international connectivity Interoperability 3

4 Original Cisco TelePresence Exchange (TPX) Cisco CUBE Soft Switch to Route Calls 48 port Cisco CTMS - to host institutional TelePresence meetings Cisco TelePresence 500 endpoint (single screen) for support onboarding AARNet hosted/housed AARNet/Cisco support

5 AARNet Exchange Exchange AUCX 28 Australian rooms (31 by Sept 2012, 40 by Dec 2012 and growing) 350+ Accessible rooms globally? 5

7 NRENs Industry AARNet Copyright 2012 AARNet International ventures Creating a video cloud of network carriers and managed video service providers to enable video to just work coordination of dial plans, SIP, ENUM, access to MCUs, support and scheduling coordination, interoperability testing, apps development and worldwide access via commercial networks Cisco TelePresence Exchange investment in core infrastructure donated by Cisco to enable inter-inst. Collaborations nationally and globally Traditional Video conferencing, supported commercial vendors, expect TIP to play increasing role alongside SIP for interoperability Chairing efforts with the APAN community to add video network infrastructure to IP networks for no-cost video/uc call services to extend reach into Asia Exploring ways to extend voice and video calling capability of ENUM/UC in Australia and Asia to extend into Europe & Brazil, Argentina Internet2 Global Video partnership - Global Dialling Scheme + SIP.edu services, global directory, experimental codecs and API based scheduling systems development 7

8 Changing Services & How we get there? Offer Interoperability Automated processes Larger Global Networks More access Beyond the room Interoperability review TIP Upgrade TPX Bookings Scheduling Dialling Reporting 24-7 Support AUCX Direct Peers NRENS Commercial Critical Mass Converged service 8

9 TelePresence Exchange Service (TPX) Where are we going with the service? Cisco CUBE connected ACME SBC AUCX 48 port CTMS New MCU to host institutional TelePresence meetings Web based Booking and scheduling AARNet hosted/housed peered with other exchanges (NREN and others)

10 AARNET TP positioning? AARNet TP Exchange is live NVCS QA rooms over 170 Video rooms AUCX SIP lowers # of trusted IP s High speed, low latency High Definition /Excellent quality Return on Investments made in Research collaboration solutions Teaching and Learning Spaces solutions

15 . Use Cases! 15

16 Impact and Results? 16

17 How to be involved? From a APAN perspective AARNet UC exchange: Connect more institutions/nrens, peer with other exchanges Offer Interoperability: AARNet Merge services into NVCS Use Cases: International video collaboration with Australian universities. Results Improve the Global reach of Video services (for research & education community) Ease of Connectivity via AUCX AARNet MCU/Resources with Interoperability (NVCS and TPX) 17
