Poly communications devices now optimised for Microsoft Teams
Plantronics, the company that was formerly Plantronics and Polycom and now referred to as Poly, has introduced videoconferencing devices with a built-in Microsoft Teams experience.
The Poly Studio X Series consists of two new purpose-built, all-in-one video bars for Microsoft teams, and will offer a native Teams meeting and calling experience.
The Poly Studio X30 and Poly Studio X50 are designed for small rooms and support 4K Ultra high definition (UHD), and advanced noise suppression. Setup requires a single power-over-Ethernet cable. Users can control the Studio X Series with the new Poly TC8 touch screen.
Poly Studio, a plug-and-play USB video bar for small huddle rooms, is now certified for Microsoft Teams. The Poly Studio USB video bar features room-filling audio, a 4K HD camera with built-in speaker tracking and framing, as well as support for remote cloud management for ongoing updates and configuration.
“Whenever and wherever people connect with Microsoft Teams, we will be there to provide the best-in-class audio, video and voice endpoints to make the experience that much better,” said Joe Burton, President and CEO at Poly.
“We deliver everything you need on the journey to transition to Teams.”
Ilya Bukshteyn, Partner Director, Teams devices, Microsoft said, “We’re pleased to partner with Poly on a range of Microsoft Teams solutions – from videoconferencing, to headsets, to desk and conference phones, to services. Poly is a one-stop-shop for Teams users that need to communicate and collaborate from anywhere and with anyone.”
“The Poly Studio X Series devices take simplicity to the next level,” said Ira M. Weinstein, Managing Partner at analyst firm Recon Research.
“These sleek, all-in-one devices include mics, speakers, and camera, and come preloaded with the Microsoft Teams application. No software to load. From the box to a high-quality meeting room videoconferencing experience in just a few minutes. This is a job well done.”
Other updates include:
The Poly CCX Series – Poly’s native Teams phones are business desk phones that combine a native Teams solution with premium voice quality. Three models, the CCX 400, CCX 500 and CCX 600, support Teams contact lists, calendar, and meetings. The CCX 400 delivers a cost-effective native Teams experience for the cost-conscious end-user, while the more premium CCX 500 and CCX 600 models power productivity with Poly HD Voice, Bluetooth, and colour touch displays.
The CCX 600 features a 7" display and integrated 802.11 Wi-Fi support.
The Calisto 3200 is Poly’s first native Teams personal speakerphone to take conference calls anywhere. This plug-and-play portable speakerphone features 360-degree audio for outstanding sound. The single touch of a button invokes the Teams app on a PC.
Poly also previewed the Voyager Office Series optimised for Teams. The popular Voyager 4200 and Voyager 5200 products are designed for in-office mobile professionals seeking connectivity options to deskphone, smartphone or computer.
Poly has further introduced Poly Managed Service for Teams. The hosted service aims to accelerate Teams adoption in enterprises worldwide with a range of managed services to support enterprises on their Teams journey. These services include identifying the most effective way for customers to migrate from legacy platforms to Teams, the provisioning of endpoints and licenses, as well as the end-to-end deployment of Teams, adoption, training plus change management. Poly Managed Service for Teams can work in conjunction with Microsoft’s calling plan or any Direct Route service offer.
