of International Audio
Conferencing
Ever since the concept of audio conferencing has arrived
in the market, it has really simplified the communication

mechanism across the globe. It has enabled people sitting
in one country to talk to the group sitting on the opposite
part of the globe. The mechanism uses the services of
secure telephone connections for this pursuit. This has
really decreased the distance between the two people and
helped them finish the job that would taken in two-three
weeks time to finish.
Similarly, the international audio conferencing system has
allowed people from different continents and countries to
talk to each other on a pre-determined date and time. This
concept is more popular by the name of tele-conferencing
and the good thing is that any number of people can join
the tele-meeting. This way of meeting is more prevailing
in the business world where people have to stay
connected constantly, no matter if they are at different
locations at a given time. The same concept has made its
firm space in the world of education as students of one
country can now interact with the students of the other
country to share their knowledge. The biggest benefit of
this system is that it has made people reject the idea of

traveling for days just to discuss one matter with the
client. Now all a business owner has to do is to call a
board meeting and connect the entire group to the audio
conferencing with the client. The concerned people can
talk while others can listen and intervene when needed.
There is a major difference between making a local call or
an international call through the audio conferencing
concept. The difference is that there are always more than
2 people making an audio conferencing call. Each caller
connects to others through the medium of Conference

Bridge, a server that has a very major role to play in
making people talk to each other. According to the
industry experts, there are different kinds of voice
conferencing services prevailing in the market.
The first is the "dial up" service in which the system
involves simply dialing a pre-designated number that has
been given to all the participants of the meeting. This
number is usually accompanied with a pass code or a key
number that has to be entered via the touch tones of the
Ipecs phone system.
The second kind is given the name of "reservation-less
call" and it is most commonly used by the business
owners that choose to allow participants in the
Canada/USA to connect toll free via the audio
conferencing and Ipecs phone system. In this system,
even if a participant is not in the local dialing area, no
long distance calling charges is levied. This version also
needs pass code or key to access the services.

Apart from these two, there is the third version also by the
name of "operator assisted" and the users use the services
of a conference call services providing company. This
service usually includes the bringing of the participants to
the call (operator dial out), call moderator and live call
monitoring, roll call, faxing or emailing of any documents
to all the participants, services like translation, and many
more services.
