Satellite Videoconferencing is a digital technology that allows individuals at distant locations to interact in real-time with full motion video and sound. Two videoconferencing sites can interact "face-to-face" or join in a call with several other sites in a virtual meeting room. Videoconferencing eliminates time and budget constraints by reaching students, who otherwise might be excluded from national training opportunities.

IP videoconferences are all about outside of physical boundaries like buildings, universities, states and countries. Quite often face-to-face meetings are not practical, due to time limits or budget constraints. With IP videoconferencing people can hold face-to-face meetings, even though they are located on the other side of the continent from each other. Videoconferencing requires a few simple hardware components: a video camera, a microphone and a sound card for each participating computer. The cost of this hardware has dropped dramatically and now it is quite affordable for the universities, providing distance education.
