Videoconferencing Equipment Sample Clauses

Videoconferencing Equipment. OTN supports a wide range of videoconferencing equipment for clinical telemedicine applications, as well as healthcare education and administration. This equipment includes telemedicine carts for mobile diagnostics and treatment, room-based systems designed to host multi-participant virtual meetings, and desktop systems for personal consultations. We also support a variety of peripherals such as exam cameras, document cameras, ENT scopes and headphones, chosen for their functionality, ease-of-use and compatibility with our telemedicine carts. Your OTN Regional Manager can help you select the right videoconferencing systems and medical peripherals for your specific needs. For a full list of supported equipment, see Appendix A: List of Standard Equipment. OTN’s List of Standard Equipment represents a careful balance between freedom of choice and adherence to standards. Since most members purchase their own equipment, we have no wish to interfere in your organization’s procurement policies and processes. However, OTN’s commitment to service quality requires that all endpoints connected to the OTN network be capable of error-free communication with all other endpoints. Videoconferencing products and software systems supported by OTN are rigorously tested to ensure interoperability with each other and with OTN’s core infrastructure, providing a consistent, high-quality user experience. As our Vendors of Record introduce new products, we subject these to the same extensive testing to ensure seamless compatibility with equipment currently in use on the network. Equipment that meets these criteria is certified and added to the List of Standard Equipment. Note: If your equipment is not on the List of Standard Equipment, you can still participate in OTN as an Off-Net member (see 3.1.2 Off-Net Connections). As equipment vendors introduce new products into the telemedicine market, old products are eventually delisted. The service life of videoconferencing systems is typically eight years. After about five years of production, the manufacturer will declare the system as End of Life (EOL). EOL products are still supported, but are no longer developed: that is, new features and functions are not introduced for these systems. Two or three years after reaching EOL, a product will be declared End of Service (EOS). At this point, the manufacturer discontinues support for the product. The manufacturer will not warrant the product, provide software patches or bug fixes, guaran...
