Company Product Trajectory
Polycom's first products to market were audio conferencing speakerphones. Soon after, the company added content sharing, video conferencing, and video network/bridging products to its portfolio.
Telepresence and Video
In February 2007, Polycom introduced a new bridge platform called RMX 2000 designed to support high definition and telepresence applications. Polycom also expanded its telepresence and HD video product lines in 2007 with the Polycom Telepresence Experience solutions, and new executive desktop solutions, expanded its line of room-based conference rooms. In 2008, Polycom delivered the Polycom converged Management Application (CMA) a video network and system management application for provisioning and managing video networks. During 2010, Polycom introduced a new immersive telepresence solution, the Polycom Open Telepresence Experience (OTX 300) providing collaboration including 1080p, using half the bandwidth of other comparable systems.
Audio and Voice
The first Sound Station conference phone shipped in 1992. The original Sound Station was followed by versions offering extended performance (Sound Station Premier, Premier Satellite, and Sound Station EX). The Sound Station first shipped internationally (to the UK) in 1993, followed by other products and an expanding list of countries. The Sound Station was superseded by the Sound Station 2 in 2004 when AT&T discontinued its DSP16A processor on which the Sound Station was based. Due to technological advancements during the nearly 10-year period, the Sound Station 2 exhibited more features and sound transparency, although still limited to 3 kHz audio bandwidth due to its conventional analog POTS connection. At this time, it was also supplemented by the Sound Station 2W wireless speakerphone, which was a DECT system (WDCT in North America), and by the Sound Station VTX1000 wired speakerphone, the first such speakerphone capable of 7 kHz audio operation over conventional POTS telephone lines. In December 2001, Polycom acquired ASPI networks, a company specializing in installed voice systems. Polycom worked with a large number of audio visual integrators offering its Vortex product. In 2007, Polycom introduced the Vortex successor, the Polycom Sound Structure Series.
