Polycom®Voice and Data Sharing Products
The right solution for any business communication need
Your conference room phone is one of your most valuable
assets to help you collaborate with others. And regard-
less of the size of your conference room, calls are produc-
tive and efficient when participants on all points of the
call can hear clear, crisp voice quality - even during simul-
taneous conversations. With Polycom's patented Acoustic
Clarity Technology, your conversations flow naturally and
get everyone talking.
We've recently given our product line a fresh, new
makeover, and have introduced groundbreaking products
that will change the way you communicate. From the
desktop to large, integrated auditorium systems, from
analog to digital to IP networks with multiple protocols,
from wired to wireless, Polycom has the right voice solu-
tion to enhance any business communication need. And
now you have the option to share content right from your
Polycom conference phone, making your calls
more efficient.
