DLink Video Conference Call IP Phone

The time has come for India to ride on the wave of VOIP communication as primary telecommunication method. With MTNL/BSNL launching their very own VOIP Phone service for replacing traditional landline phone, VOIP is making its way into indian homes.

Broaband is not cheap in India, which is a key component for Video Conference Calls or VOIP Calls. You can't do high quality VOIP or Conference calls with low broband connections. Thanks to MTNL/BSNL who provides robust DSL connectivity even in remote India. That made Video Conference Call a definate possibility.

Now, you can start making Video Conference Calls right from your home with the GVC 3000. India-based engineers in Bangalore and Goa of the Taiwanese networking products leader D-Link have created the first truly indigenous IP or Internet Protocol-based Video Phone — the GVC 3000. It looks and feels exactly like any standard landline handset — except that you can see the person you are speaking to, on a 5-inch liquid crystal screen. This IP Phone is likely to cost around Rs.23,000, however making Video conference calls is not your game, you can settle for a non-Video version of this IP Phone for a mere Rs. 7000.

However this definately kick starts a new VOIP IP Phone market in India. We hope to see more Indian companies taking on the likes of Linksys VOIP Adapter and IP Phones by Netgear etc.
