Solution

  • Internet Videocommunications developed, installed and maintained all of the Laganside Court Complex’s systems for visual and broadcast evidence distribution.
  • Remote video links were installed in 5 of the 16 courtrooms to enable witnesses to give evidence without the stress, cost and security issues of appearing in person.
  • Remote video links were set up to link prisons, young offenders centres and the Magistrates Court.
  • Two courtrooms were equipped to provide for the “courtroom of the future” to help streamline the case management system in line with the civil and criminal
    justice reviews.

The video enabled courts now process cases up to four times faster and evidence can be distributed instantly to all parties securely via the distribution infrastructure. It allows vulnerable and sensitive witnesses, or those unable to travel to the courtrooms, to be questioned remotely via video
link.
This deployment was part of an ongoing programme of video-enabling in the Northern Ireland Court Service undertaken by Internet Videocommunications that continues to this day.
