Today’s dynamic workplace environments require the flexibility for employees to move around while still remaining fully connected no matter where they are. Collaboration is critical no matter where your “desk” may reside and collaboration tools that move with you easily have become an essential tool. Polycom, Inc. (NASDAQ: PLCM) advanced its leadership in the collaboration space by announcing an expansion of its industry-leading Polycom® VVX® business media phone solutions.
The Polycom® VVX® D60 Wireless Handset phone is an enterprise-grade cordless accessory of Polycom’s industry-leading VVX business media phone technology, providing the flexibility of wireless communication with the features, functionality and superior voice quality of Polycom’s industry-leading VVX solutions. Designed for customers on the move, the Polycom VVX D60 Wireless Handset is ideal for small businesses, retail environments or administrative personnel that require the flexibility to be mobile throughout the workday. The VVX D60 Wireless Handset extends the same user experience and interfaces of Polycom’s VVX business media phones and other Polycom UC Software solutions. The VVX D60 Wireless Handset offers a straightforward installation experience and time to set up takes just minutes. With the same device provisioning and management process as the VVX desk phones, the VVX D60 Wireless Handset is easy to deploy, and interoperates with existing IT infrastructures, ensuring no need to upgrade your call control platform.
“Collaboration technology for the workplace of the future is not a one-size-fits-all proposition,” said Ashan Willy, Senior Vice President, Product Management & Worldwide Systems Engineering at Polycom. “Businesses of all sizes need solutions that integrate into natural work flows. The Polycom VVX D60 Wireless Handset is ideal for environments where users need to stay connected, whether they are at their desk or elsewhere around their workspace.”
The VVX D60 Wireless Handset will offer the tightest and most feature-rich integration of Polycom’s VVX desktop and business media phones by offering features including acoustic echo cancellation and background noise suppression technologies with Polycom’s superior voice quality. Customers can place and receive calls from anywhere on premise, offering seamless call management for users “on-the-go.”
The VVX D60 Wireless Handset will be available starting December 2015.
