Dedicated to enabling the workplace of the future, Polycom, Inc. announced three new additions to its RealPresence Group Series solutions offering. The new solutions solidify the company’s commitment to delivering technologies that provide rich collaboration experiences that are easy to use and integrate into any work environment.

The Polycom RealPresence TouchTM solution is an easy-to-use, next-generation touch control designed with simplicity in mind for the end user. Compatible with Polycom RealPresence Group Series, Polycom RealPresence Immersive Studio, and the new Polycom RealPresence OTX Studio, the RealPresence Touch control will feature an intuitive tablet interface that makes it easier than ever for users to control their visual collaboration experience. Users will now have the option to simply “click to dial” right from the home screen calendar, enabling connection at the push of a button. Since every organization and culture is unique, Polycom RealPresence Touch interface will also allow IT administrators to optimize the end user experience, while maintaining a consistent experience across the Polycom portfolio of solutions.

The Polycom RealPresence Group Series 5.0 software will feature direct interoperability with both Skype for Business and Microsoft Lync environments, giving end users an enhanced voice, video and content collaboration experience. With this software, users will now have the ability to control Skype for Business/Microsoft Lync content directly from their Polycom Group Series system, just as they would in a Skype for Business/Microsoft Lync call. Polycom solutions do not require additional devices in the network or additional costs.

For a richer audio experience, Polycom RealPresence Group Series 5.0 software will also featurePolycom Acoustic Fence technology, which ensures that meeting participants are not distracted with background noises such as barking dogs, honking cars or other conversations happening nearby. There is also a new version of Polycom Acoustic Fence technology from Polycom Labs, which includes a feature that allows users who only have one microphone to take advantage of this innovative audio solution for easier deployment in cubicles and other open workspaces.

“Rich and intuitive collaboration experiences represent the foundation of today’s workplace,” says Ashan Willy, Senior Vice President, Product Management & Worldwide Systems Engineering for Polycom. “Our customers have asked for solutions that easily integrate within their platform investment of choice, while ensuring the enterprise-class voice, video and content sharing Polycom is known for. The Polycom RealPresence Group Series 5.0 software makes it easy for users to share content and receive high quality collaboration experiences, including exceptional audio and video performance, from any device in any location.”

Unique to Polycom immersive solutions, Polycom 3D Voice is designed to deliver highly accurate positional audio with a very clear separation between participants for the most natural and life-like audio reproduction that has ever been delivered in video collaboration.
