Product Report

Each of the following video communication related products is randomly assigned to two people. Write a summary/report of the product (up to 2 pages) based on the information available on the web sites and other resources (e.g., phone call to a sales rep or other published reports). Assume that your audience is technically competent people with background in video communications. Focus on the main functionality and technology behind the products. Don't put anything in the report that you do not understand. If you use any information form other sources such as news reports, list the source/URL in the references section. Your report should give the reader a fairly good idea of what the product does, technologies involved, potential bottlenecks, desirable features, alternative technologies that can improve the product etc.

Your report is due on: 4/6/04. Upload your report to the Digital Dropbox on Blackboard (Word or PDF, preferably PDF). Use the following naming convention: <lastname>_product_report.pdf.

I will make all the reports available on this website by 4/8/04.
