Saturating Bandwidth

[MJNSBF]

Forgive me for sounding dumb, but I don't have alot of experience in this area.

We are streaming live video 2-3 times a month from different remote locations. Employees on site want to be able to see these events as they are happening. We have a T1 line that is totally getting saturated if 10 people access the site. (We are streaming at 1200Kbps through media administrator)

What are my options to improve this so that approximately 60 people could access this without saturation?

Thanks for any help!

mjnsbf I guess the answer is u will have to place a server delivering video locally, cached from the remote one, so if u have 8 remote sites then you can have 8 incoming 2 way connections, from each cache server to HQ, the remote users will then connect to the local cache server, there is then the capacity for 80 times as many users to connect, in their own building/site..
simple bandwidth mechanics with 10mb from the t1 line (1mb) 100mbs from the server to the local users hubs. and 10 mbs to 5 PC's users on the same 10 mb's segment (1mb each) mpeg1 384x240 stream will suffice if more people are required to connect, then you may need 2 servers at one site..... rgds
