Title :	General principles for audiographic conference services

Study Group : I - Services

Version : New

Date of adoption : 1991

Notes :	


Recommendation F.710 defines the rules to be followed in the 
international audiographic conference (AGC) service. Specific 
infrastructure, terminal and network aspects of the service are 
described in the AV.200, AV.300 and AV.400-Series of Recommendations.

The Audiographic Conference (AGC) service is an international service, 
offered by Administrations, enabling participants to conduct a 
real-time teleconference between users situated in different 
locations, connected by terminals and telecommunications networks.

The AGC service is a type of Teleconference service (TCS) in which 
audio signals are exchanged together with non-voice graphics 
information (data, text, images, etc.) except for motion video.

The AGC service may utilize computer conference or other data storage 
facilities when unique features provided by these facilities are 
required to augment a real-time audiographic conference.

Recommendation F.710 sets out a description and a functional model for 
the AGC service, the principles applicable to service operation, to 
the network and the terminals, and to the quality of service.
