The world of tomorrow begins today. Digital technology is revolutionizing the world around us. Every day, our world gets smaller as boardroom meetings can be conducted on the other side of the country through voice and videophones. Communication across distances is no longer limited to the telephone, but can take place across digital Internet lines. With the video projection, every conversation is as good as being face-to-face.

A Polycom VoIP phone was just released this spring that combines both video and phone into a single device. The VVX 1500 combines a business media phone with video projects as the first of its kind. The entire personality of a conversation can be transmitted across the Internet, making body language and facial language an integral part of the conversation.

Whether used through video calls across the country or even within the same office building, the system can revolutionize office communications. Implementing the phone throughout a VoIP PBX system can make face-to-face communication as convenient as checking your email.

The VVX 1500 Polycom VoIP phone comes complete with a browser for viewing the web and integrates conveniently with systems like CRM.

Video capabilities revolutionize your VoIP PBX system through inter-office communication. This is especially beneficial for branches located in different regions. Videophones bring all lines of communication to the interoffice meeting so that body language can be a part of the dialogue.

This past winter, Polycom unveiled an enterprise video communications and conference platform that allows for broadcast quality images for virtual meetings and collaboration sessions. It’s the first in the industry to feature 1080 p and 720p high-definition (HD) quality images. It can also upscale lower quality images from firms that have smaller connections.

Polycom continues to look to expand its teleconferencing line. It plans on soon releasing a more affordable videoconferencing system so that more companies can begin to utilize the technology across the board. Its planned QDX 6000 will cost around $4,000 and require a broadband connection of at least 256Kbps. Though the system requires minimal bandwidth, Polycom is touting that the system will be DVD quality.

Today’s digital video technologies bring interpersonal communication back to the board table as remote conversations enjoy the benefit of a face-to-face impression. This opens up communication possibilities, which is extremely important given the open communication required to stay cutting edge in any industry. Communication is more than words but also facial expressions and body language, which can ensure that no idea gets left off the table. No conversation remains remote when video conferencing is implemented online.
