Northwestel’s videoconferencing solutions allow you to easily conduct interactive, full-visual meetings with colleagues in multiple locations, across the North and around the world – without the cost and inconvenience of traveling.
Our innovative technology let’s you share charts and diagrams using the document camera, and incorporate a wide range of multimedia such as slides, videotapes and notebook computer presentations.
Our public facilities in Whitehorse, Yellowknife and Iqaluit, are equipped with all the required equipment needed for your meeting and comfortably accommodate up to ten people. We also provide room coordinators to help plan, prepare and facilitate your videoconference.
A videoconference may be set up as either dial-out or dial-in.
- With a dial-out arrangement, a Northwestel videoconference facilitator dials out to all participants and links them into the videoconference.
- With a dial-in arrangement, participants dial into the conference themselves.
