Verizon Access New Jersey Video Portal Provides
Collaborative Video Connections - Why Drive When You Can Click?
The ANJ Video Portal is a
fully managed video network that connects schools,
public libraries, content providers, and other participants across New
Jersey and the world, creating an interactive distance learning community. This network is one
of the largest most advanced video networks in the U.S.
Here's how & why it works!
Participants can connect point to point without the Video Portal using the same
protocols such as IP to IP, ATM to ATM, or ISDN to ISDN over the Access NJ
network.
Bridging between protocols (ATM, ISDN, & IP) and multipoint conferences are
performed
by the ANJ Video Portal FREE
of charge to all K-12 schools, Public
Libraries, and content providers who are registered with the portal.
Specialized video gateways and ATM switches are positioned in each New Jersey LATA
(Newark/Atlantic City/Mt. Laurel).
Having “portals” in three separate LATAs allows for a robust network offering
total redundancy and the ability to provide local ISDN dialing to users of the
ANJ network. Every school with an ATM, ISDN or IP connection can access
the Video Portal. *
Three multi-port bridges (MCUs) interconnect multiple users, allowing several
participants to be in a simultaneous interactive videoconference at call speeds from
128 K to 768 K or higher with the ability of varying screen views. HD video
conferencing available.
The Video Portal provides QoS across the Verizon ANJ network that is fully managed
by an experienced staff providing a single point of contact. The Video
Portal can also provide bridging to the commodity Internet at a “best effort” QoS.
