Polycom CX5500 Unified Conference Station

The Polycom CX5500 Unified Conference Station delivers a unique HD voice and video collaboration experience in Microsoft Lync environments.

Polycom CX5500 Unified Conference Station Overview

The CX5500 provides remote participants with 1080p HD active-speaker video that automatically tracks the flow of conversation. It also adds a unique 360-degree panoramic view of the conference room. Meetings are more productive and participants are clearly heard with Polycom’s legendary HD Voice technology, now featuring a dynamic audio range of 160Hz to 22,000Hz. The CX5500 can also be used to place voice-only calls as an IP conference phone.

Lower your business support costs and realize a better return on investment with increased room usage for collaboration. The Polycom CX5500 Video Conferencing System reduces training costs with simple USB plug-and-play functionality that requires little or no training. Users connect a USB cable to their laptop and use the Lync client they already know how to use--no remote required. There's no need to provision a second conference phone in the room; the CX5500 also doubles as an IP conference phone when not used for Lync video calls.

Customers who do not need stand-alone SIP conference phone capability or who wish to use in Office 365 environments may also consider the Polycom CX5100 (USB-only)
