the Central station of technological communication of RAO
Gazprom. The exhibitors have been successfully cooperating
with each other for a long time, and the current
exhibition was no exception: together they organized
a videoconference between the pavilions
of the exhibition complex and the central office of RAO
Gazprom in Moscow.

the equipment and software of VTEL, one of
the world's largest manufacturers in this field. VTEL
produces a full range of devices for
organizing video and document conferences, from
inexpensive PC systems to
high-performance stationary
equipment for conference rooms. At the Race booth

a mid-range desktop system SETTOP 250 and a specialized
complex for TC2000 conference rooms. Special
value is attached to VTEL equipment by such means
as:

business applications without interrupting
a video conference session;
-"intelligent" video cameras
that automatically select the optimal plan;
- an electronic tablet with which the presenter
manages the course of the conference, etc.
The central place in the Race Communications exposition was occupied
by packet telephony, a rapidly developing

on Motorola ING and Cisco Systems equipment at the exhibition. Motorola devices
Vanguard and Cisco 3810, 2600 and 3600 families provide
connection from one analog to 112 digital
telephone ports, are easily scaled and
guarantee high return on investment both in
corporate environments and in
telecommunications provider networks. When equipping
offices, IP phones provide greater flexibility
