33.6 Kilobits/Second bandwidth - That is right, 56k, 33.6k, 28.8k, and 14.4k bandwidth - ChaserView works great at this bandwidth range. No other video conferencing software solution can compare due to lack of efficiency of codec or built-in bandwidth manager.

Cost of bandwidth use if Inmarsat BGAN networks is used. In this calculation we use an industry acceptable $6.50 per MB for BGAN background IP. The air time cost varies from one air time company to another based on quality of network, availability of technical support and quality of last mile connection to public Internet pool.
