24/7 Video Conferencing

[cronin]

Hi,

I want to set up a 24/7 video conferencing system that connects two offices across the country (California and DC). Essentially, I want to wire up a room in each office so that you could simply walk in an wait for someone else to walk in on the other end. We'll be using a phone for audio since we normally have lots of people on call.

What is a good way to do this? We have a pretty decent budget to make sure this works properly.

Try the "tele presence" concept being promoted by Cisco. Its great and much better than normal VC. It can give u full HD 1080p and give u a feel of 3D.
