Companies require reliable, high-quality communications devices. Polycom has been addressing that need since 1992, and we continue to innovate and grow our conference phone portfolio.

With these next generation conference phones, customers will reap the benefits of a new level of communication with more productive, engaging conference calls."

"Done right, [the Polycom CX5000] is actually a more natural-feeling experience than a typical videoconference is because it feels more like a meeting with people sitting around a table and folks don't have to go to special rooms."
