Have you ever needed to have a meeting with personnel from both the Red Mountain and Southern & Dobson campuses but you didn’t because it would be too inconvenient?  The intercampus IP video conferencing system might be the solution to your problem.

What is IP video conferencing?

IP video conferencing is a technology that enables voice and video communication between the Red Mountain and Southern & Dobson campuses using Internet networking technology. 

The video conferencing equipment involves using an isolated wireless network which separates the network traffic from your conference from our regular data network.  This ensures that the speed and efficiency of our network is not degraded while you are having your videoconference.

Why would I use IP video conferencing?

IP video conferencing allows meetings with participants from both the Red Mountain and Southern & Dobson campuses without requiring that everyone be in the same physical location.  This means reduced travel, better use of participant’s time, and, hopefully, better attendance at the meetings.

Who can schedule a video conference?

Any board approved employee at Mesa can schedule a video conference.

For what times can I schedule a video conference?

Video conferences can be scheduled to take place Monday – Thursday, 6 am – 10 pm, and Friday, 6 am – 5 pm.

Where can I have a video conference?

At the Red Mountain campus, the equipment is installed in room M224 on the second floor of the Mesquite building.  At the Southern & Dobson campus, either the video conferencing rooms in the Media Services department in the AS building or the CTL conference room can be used for video conferencing.

How do I schedule a video conference?

If you would like to schedule a videoconference, contact Media Services at Southern & Dobson  (480-461-7687).  You can speak with Jan Coleman or Gary Gonzales from 6 am – 4 pm and Ron Rangel from 4 pm – 10 pm.  Please call at least 24 hours in advance of your conference.  Please also have the following information ready:
