Scenario 2: LONG DISTANCE: Test teams call with participants within the local office network + at least one participant at a remote location (preferably from different state within same country).

Scenario 3: International/Geo location (India and USA): Test teams call with participants between India and USA

Test scenarios using Wireless Network using WiFi:

Scenario 1: LOCAL: Test teams call within local office network with as many as participants possible

Scenario 2: LONG DISTANCE: Test teams call with participants within the local office network + at least one participant at a remote location (preferably from different state within same country).
