With so many technological advancements in the last few years, there is no dearth of gadgets that make life simpler for you. From smartphones to tablet PCs- every device that you see around you is a culmination of progress, invention and high technology. You do not need to look at the presence of new objects either to understand the extent of technological advancement. For example, Internet connection speeds have increased substantially, which has resulted in better online experience. The bandwidth allocated to users has increased among network providers, and 3G and 4G connections have become widely available.

Such connections have changed our mindset about the Internet. It is no longer just a simple method of sending emails to others.

Tips for choosing Audio Conferencing Solutions


There was a time when companies considered audio conferencing solutions to be a luxury. However, telecommunications technology has grown by leaps and bounds in just a few short years, with 3G and 4G standards coming into effect. Audio conferencing has now become a vital, irremovable part of small, medium and large companies, and is considered to be the preferred mode of maintaining constant communication with employees, clients, partners and even consumers. Businesspersons and clients are no longer held back by physical limitations; they can go to other countries and expand the reach of their business and still remain in touch with people. Moreover, the wide range of cellular phone conferencing devices has given businesses limitless choices.

While the choice of devices is endless, it is important to choose an inexpensive audio conferencing service as well. Several companies offer audio conferencing services at reasonable rates. For example, the RHUB 6-in-1 web conferencing and remote support appliance also offers free audio conferencing services. In order to choose a good audio conferencing service, you need to first understand the features in offer.

A lot of inexpensive audio conferencing services have little or no useful features, and it does not make sense to spend money on such services. However, some inexpensive audio conferencing services like the RHUB 6-in-1 web conferencing and remote support appliance offers several other features apart from audio conferencing. In fact, this appliance works as a complete business communication solution by itself. It is best if you evaluate the features you need for your business and then choose an inexpensive audio conferencing solution that offers all these features.

Another important aspect you have to consider while buying an audio conferencing service is the assistance you will get. All cell phone operators provide audio conferencing services, but not many provide assistance. Audio conferencing assistance is usually provided only by companies like RHUB. This form of assistance is very useful for companies that periodically conduct audio conferences with a large number of participants. An assistant can help in introducing any new participant at any time to the conference, and can also give the conference a more professional feel.

As a business, it is important that you keep some evidence of the matters discussed in any meeting. That is why the minutes of a meeting are recorded and filed whenever it is conducted face to face. However, it is not uncommon to see a business conducting meetings on serious matters over the phone. In an era where participants may not be available at short notice for a meeting in the office, urgent meetings on important business matters would have to be conducted through audio conferencing.

Such meetings also need to be documented, and that is why several audio conferencing services like the one provided by RHUB offers to record your complete meetings. This much more effective than filing the minutes of an actual meeting, because it lets you record each statement from each participant. In other words, audio conferencing services can allow you to conduct meetings and run your business effectively and efficiently. Services like the RHUB 6-in-1 web conferencing and remote support appliance not only provide free audio conferencing, but video and web conferencing with remote PC access and remote support capabilities as well.

RHUB Video Conferencing Appliance and its benefits


Video conferencing has gained prominence in the last few years, especially in the area of business communication. A number of small and large companies have opted for video conferencing services like those provided by RHUB for different purposes. For example, video conferencing services can be used for sales presentations, business discussions with a client, or even training employees. The basics of a video conferencing service would include a computer, a reliable Internet connection and, of course, a camera. These are obvious requirements for video conferencing, but not much thought is given to video conferencing software.

Video conferencing software is also an essential and important aspect of any conferencing service. Service providers like RHUB create high quality software applications to make it easier for companies to organize conferencing quickly. In fact, the RHUB 6-in-1 web conferencing and remote support appliance also allows for real time troubleshooting and support services during the meeting. In general, a video conferencing application processes the audio and visual transmission for it to be sent via the Internet.

In other words, video conferencing software is designed to optimize and improve communication between the participants of the video conference. Video conferencing software is required because it acts as an interface between the computer and the Internet. Such applications would compress the audio and video data picked up by the camera and microphone into codes for transmission. Therefore, there are variations in the quality of transmission provided by video conferencing software applications.

You can find a whole range of such applications, from free and often low-quality software to high-quality, but costly applications. Many video conferencing applications also provide different features that may or may not make a difference in your video conferencing solutions. When you do choose a video conferencing solution, you need to ensure that it meets your own business requirements.

Each company may have its own unique requirements, but there are some common traits that are offered by every good video conferencing solution, like the RHUB web conferencing appliance. For example, one desirable trait about video conferencing solutions is that they should be easy to use and still remain effective and efficient. Some software solutions would allow you to personally set the quality of video transmission, while others give you the ability to choose when to transmit or not to transmit a video. This means that you can record the video and send it over. However, this particular feature would be rendered useless in a business video conference, because such conferences rely almost entirely on quick and interactive video inputs from all participants.

On the other hand, some software applications allow you to transmit and stream videos in real time, which can be useful in establishing effective communication for a client meeting or sales presentation. There should also be an option for continuous support while you are on conferencing, like the one offered by RHUB 6-in-1 web conferencing and remote support appliance. Constant tech support during the course of the meeting helps in avoiding frustrating and often embarrassing glitches in the network quickly and effectively.

Remotely control a PC with ease from any place


Sci-Fi television shows and movies from the 80s and 90s really painted a vivid picture of the 21st century. According to these movies, we would have developed the ability to teleport from one planet to another in the blink of an eye by now, at the very least. Sadly, that kind of advancement has not happened yet, but we do have the next best thing- the ability to control computers from other locations.

Real-time collaboration through the Internet has been around for some time now, and there are several popular vendors that you can choose from that allow you to do this. For example, RHUB offers a 6-in-1 web conferencing and remote support appliance. There are a lot of ways to set up and configure remote control. This article is going to explore the tools you can use, including inbuilt operating systems like Windows and third-party applications like the RHUB remote support appliance. Security is a big concern when you are working online, so you will also see how to keep your data safe while doing remote work.


Securely connecting to a remote PC

In-house real-time collaboration appliance offers the security that is not possible with hosted solutions. If you use on-premise applications over a secure LAN, it is highly unlikely that your data would be intercepted. However, when you are connecting over the Internet, the risks increase exponentially. This is where on-premise appliance deployed behind firewall comes into the picture.

A virtual private network or VPN is an encrypted network that connects the host and client computers, allowing a secure bridge for the transferring of data. This kind of a network is difficult to intercept. Even if a hacker intercepts the network, it would be even more difficult to make sense of the scrambled, encrypted data that is caught. There are some routers with the ability to double as a VPN host (this is usually seen in high-end models). It must be noted here that having a router-cum-VPN host is different from having a router that allows VPN connections between computers. If you are trying to connect to a computer through a router enabled with a VPN host, you need to go through the router documentation to find the right procedure for the connection.

Normally, it is easy to integrate remote control appliance to your system. The method of installation differs from vendor to vendor. Some companies like RHUB offer plug-and-play to install it on the system for you, while other free remote control programs require you to install it on your own. In most cases, it will also easily integrate with LDAP for you.

Choosing a proprietary service

Remote PC controlling applications can be tricky to use sometimes and can also increase the risk of attacks on either computer because of the minimal security offered. That is why you should consider a good proprietary on-premise service like RHUB.

RHUB is a leading real-time collaboration service vendor that offers remote PC support solutions to various businesses and individuals. It offers various features, including the web conferencing, free audio conferencing, file transfer, session recording, and etc.
