Can you answer wat_unavailable’s question about Conferencing?:
Any software, no matter the cost that is the best for creating virtual meetings between employees at remote location which all have high speed broadband connections. The maximum number of remote participants will be six.

Both Video and audio conferencing is needed however other services such as remote desktop connection and file transfer is not needed.
Can someone please help me. Also does anyone know the requirements to use and setup a system like this. eg. need microphone, webcam, internet 1.5Mbps, etc
Web Based Video Conferencing
Conferencing Feedback: If cost is not a factor, then quality may be. If you are considering 1.5Mbs call speeds, you may wish to look at appliances instead of software. Lifesize makes an high definition conferencing unit that may suit you well. Other options: Tandberg, Sony, Polycom. All of these can be easily connected via public internet at the 1.5Mbs rate (or lower) and will provide standards based communication for eventual scalability and outside communications. You will need internet access and a TV (monitor) on each end in addition to the conferencing device.
Conferencing Feedback: Microsoft’s Virtual Meeting.
Check out Voxwire (http://www.voxwire.com). It’s cheaper and better than anything else out there. You can record your meetings, use whiteboard, desktop share, and all the rest. Best features, cheapest platform. Also it’s browser-based so there are no compatibility problems. And they have a free trial!
Good luck!
