Ericsson and Polycom partners at Mobile World Congress

Ericsson and Polycom collaborate at Mobile World Congress at Barcelona to provide integrated end-to-end solution for hosted telepresence services that will enable telecom operators to deliver affordable, high-definition visual communications services to businesses and consumers.

During the event, Ericsson and Polycom are previewing integration between the Ericsson IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) network and Polycom infrastructure and telepresence endpoints, in the first collaborative step between the companies.

The collaboration between Polycom and Ericsson - driven by dispersed work forces, globalization, travel restrictions, and green workplaces - responds to the rising adoption rates and increasing customer demand across enterprises of all size, and will extend visual communications as a truly global mass market service. The new solutions are based on the standardized IMS technology, the same underlying technology used by telecom operators.
