Polycom targets group Web conferencing

摘要

Continuing the trend to make conferencing easier — both Web and video — Polycom this week plans to debut a conference phone attachment for sharing PC-based data in small group meetings. It also will unveil network equipment designed to make it easier to connect multiple users in one call across networks. With the new QSX appliance, Polycom is looking to tap its 1.7 million conference phone customers who want to share application or presentation data from their PCs without the need for a third-party Web conference provider. The QSX is a hub of sorts, which connects a phone, PC and projector/display A presenter connects a PC or laptop to a QSX via a VGA monitor cable. He does not need access to a corporate network or to install any additional applications on his machine.
