Telecom Applications

• TruNetS - crucial for telecommunication
  applications due to provision of
  trust-significant services
• TruNetS Telecom Applications crucial for users
  due to efficient visualization of trust and easy
  accessibility to trust-significant services
• Examples of TruNetS Telecom Applications
• Security surveillance
• Voice emergency communication
• Conferencing and on-demand services for disaster
  management
• E-commerce
• Health-care

Equipment for Telecom Applications

• Large video servers to store surveillance video
  (a video server price can range from 25K 100K
  depending on a size of PC cluster and
  manufacturer e.g., SUN video server is quite
  expensive)
• Cameras to capture surveillance video (cameras go
  from 200 to 4-20K depending if we get web
  cameras, tracking cameras or small HDTV cameras)
• Compression cards to store video in compressed
  format (MPEG2 cards can go from 200-5K depending
  on encoding or decoding cards.)
• Video Displays from regular displays to HDTV
  displays and walls (prices can go from several
  hundred dollars to 100K)
• Acoustic equipment for echo cancellation and
  speakers
• Large storage farms to store on-demand
  information for disaster management
• IP telephones for voice communication
• Teleconferencing equipment (e.g.,Polycom system
  would cost from 5-20K depending what units we get
  (room or office units) and how many )
• Networking equipment such as Gigabit Ethernet
  hubs, 802.11b base stations, IP routers for
  high-bandwidth communication as well as low
  bandwidth communication
• Security devices (e.g., badges, ID rings,
  fingerprinting equipment, handheld devices, smart
  cards)
• Software for many of the device drivers and
  applications to use the equipment (prices for
  licenses on various software packages vary)
• Connectivity Equipment and Services within and
  between buildings (CCSO)
