This chapter discusses what is required to create global Webcasts, which might also have its network challenges. Digital signage is quite common today and can become challenging if globally deployed. For global companies, it is a way to send the same business messages to all employees in a short and comprehensive form. Of course, this needs to be enriched by country messages also to emphasize the local view of a company. The chapter discusses the functional elements and then looks at technical components with an emphasis on the network technology. Automated call distribution (ACD) performs the routing using characteristics of the client. The chapter focuses on one of the most challenging applications from a network perspective namely, High-end video conferencing or Telepresence. The Telepresence specifications require a loss smaller than 0.05%. Due to the criticality of the user base, the network between the systems should be completely redundant.
