ABSTRACT
Communication plays an important role in today 's time. Globalization has led the need for crossover communication. Therefore multimedia system plays an important role in the overall communication between regions. Multimedia system provides seamless provision of multimedia services to its user. The conferencing system ensures that voice, video and other media forms are streamed efficiently to various individuals ensuring smooth real time communication. Currently, this multimedia system does not support this facility in all the mobile operating system. Thus we have proposed an Android based multimedia conference terminal system on 3g mobile phones. In this way 3G users will be allowed to communicate with individuals across regions.

1. INTRODUCTION
Cross region communication has become increasingly important due to globalization and trade. Multimedia conference system is put to use instead of traditional conference to enhance communication efficiency, save staff‟s time and reduce conference cost. The maturity of Internet application service and the wide spreading of broadband access technology help to accelerate the development of multimedia conference system. Due to the development in networks that is the emergence of 3G networks and introduction to new smart phones has led to the popularity of the conference system on mobile phones. 3G

CONCLUSION The networking field is expanding on a great scale incorporating many new technologies and applications. This network with immense advancements has provided many entry points for smooth communication. Voice, video and document sharing has become a mundane task due to the emergence of advanced technology. Multimedia conference system is becoming increasingly popular among enterprises and government departments by right of its efficiency and cost-saving features. In this paper, we have designed and implemented a Android based multimedia conference mobile terminal application, with which 3G mobile phone users can attend multimedia conference anytime and anywhere and enjoy high-quality, real time and smooth conference experience. 31
