Information system is a vital commodity in my place. I currently work for Computer Science Corporation as a video teleconference and video teletraining facilitator for the Training Support Command in San Diego, Ca.

It is also used for Federal and Military communications, including satellite voice, secure IP voice, secure radio, emergency response and video systems.
