Ericsson collaborates with Polycom
At this year's Mobile World Congress (MWC), Polycom and Ericsson will launch an end-to-end solution that enables operators to offer affordable, interoperable HD Video-as-a-Service (VaaS) and unified communication services to businesses of all sizes. The new visual communication solution for service providers will leverage Ericsson's video-enabled IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) offering, including HD-capable infrastructure, as well as Polycom RealPresence(TM) video and voice endpoints and the RealPresence (TM) Platform.
"This announcement is another step toward our vision to make video collaboration ubiquitous. Following on the January announcement of our cloud strategy, Polycom is excited to collaborate with an IMS leader like Ericsson to deliver standards-based, interoperable solutions that will enable service providers to offer compelling and cost-effective Video-as-a-Service solutions to their customers. We're showcasing our joint solution at this year's Mobile World Congress so service providers can see first-hand how the technology can build their business, win new customers, create new revenue streams, and enable their customers to connect visually in high-definition through the cloud," said Gary Testa, Vice President, Global Cloud & Service Provider Solutions, Polycom.
Magnus Furustam, VP and Head of Core and IMS, Ericsson, said, "We have worked collaboratively with Polycom since announcing our partnership at last year's show, and are now pleased to launch and showcase our joint video conferencing solution for business users. With our leading market presence in IMS and mobile networks we provide a smooth path to enable the networks for HD visual and audio communication. We believe our solution to be very attractive to business users and an industry first with a very compelling value proposition to operators."
In addition, Ericsson and Polycom will participate in an HD video conferencing demonstration with leading operators and equipment vendors at this year's MWC. For the demonstration, a common set of capabilities based on existing industry standards has been selected to provide an open solution for HD video conferencing services.
