| communications such as voice data and video | | | | web conferencing system consist of an image |
| over a single packet cell based | | | | processor that performs real-time image |
| infrastructure system. It more specifically | | | | capture processing, compression |
| refers to the transmission of voice in the | | | | decompression, color space conversion, and |
| form of live calls instead of messages over | | | | real time display. The system also has a CPU |

| use a specific type of technology, which | | | | controls, voice processing with noise and |
| enables the transmission of voice and video | | | | echo cancellation, protocol processing, |
| collaboration over computer networks such as | | | | network management software functions and the |
| local area network (LAN) and wide area | | | | user interface functions. They are equipped |
| network (WAN). Web conference calling | | | | with ample amount of memory for storing |
| services use open IETF (Internet Engineering | | | | numbers, execution codes, and other data or |
