Polycom

Polycom was founded in 1990 and is already an industry leader and successful end-to-end provider of Unified Collaborative Communications-converged voice, video, web, and data solutions for emerging broadband networks.

Polycoms now have a commanding market share of 42% for video and 75% for voice according equipment, their outstanding quality communications products are easy to deploy, manage, and use and deliver an experience as natural as being face to face with each user. All of which translates into increased collaboration and productivity, greater flexibility, faster decisions, lower costs, and improved customer relationships.

Initially Polycom was a research and development business. In September 1992 they began shipping their first voice communications product, the SoundStation. They soon completed many acquisitions of ViaVideo, a young telecoms company that designed and developed high quality, low cost, video conferencing systems. As time went on Polycom started to manufacture and distribute the ViewStation range of video conferencing products that would ensure their success over the next 5 years.

Conferencing Units


Conferencing Units have been design so that users can hold audio or visual conversations with multiple users anywhere around the world, all this achieved over a standard telephone line. As there is no other hidden costs, once you have set up your Conferencing unit can start to use it immediately. Conferencing Units can communicate with other Units or normal telephones.



Setting up Conferencing units are easy and the vast range models available today (from the likes of Polycom and ClearOne) allow you to expand the base configuration with additional microphones and add ons, making Conference calling easy and affective.



The more expensive Conferencing unit models have a longer microphone range, with more sensitive microphones inside making it able to pick up voices from further away which can make a bit difference when choosing the right Conferencing Unit for your office.

Video Conferencing Units


Video Conferencing units were developed so that two separate parties can communicate visually and audible with each other any way in the world. Video Conferencing units include a digital video camera so that digital video images can be sent, along with audio, to either a normal telephone or audio conferencing unit but is most effective to another video unit.



All video Conferencing units include built in speakers that responds like a normal telephone, transmitting audio from one conferencing unit to another. The built in numeric keypad allows you to make calls from the conferencing unit again like a normal telephone. Using additional microphones allows you to have clear conversations over larger meeting rooms or wherever you decide to use your conferencing unit, this ensures less communication errors which leads to greater productivity.



Market leaders like Polycom and ClearOne have excelled in Conferencing production, creating many Units that can be found in offices all over the world.
