HYDERABAD, March 14: Some students of the University of Sindh have developed a videoconferencing software, which offers more features than the software currently available in markets, and provides better quality with bandwidth that can transmit as low as 64 kbps data.

The software has been prepared by final year students of the university’s Institute of Information Technology, Masood Ahmed Abbasi, Jameel Ahmed Memon, Nooruddin Bhatti and Mohammad Faheem Memon.

A university spokesman said on Wednesday that the software made in Java language supported multi-session as well as point videoconferencing. It uses a new compression technique adopted by applying a key that will be known to both ends and the generated data will be transmitted to either end, he said.
