Networking equipment maker Ericsson and unified communication solution provider Polycom announced partnership, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, for integrated end-to-end solution for hosted telepresence services.
Ericsson and Polycom will integrate Ericsson IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystem) network and Polycom infrastructure and telepresence endpoints in the first collaborative step between the companies.
"Availability of visual communications as an affordable, reliable and high-quality service through telecom operators will help usher in global, mainstream adoption," says Joe Burton, chief technology and strategy officer, Polycom. "Furthering our UC Everywhere and cloud strategies, Polycom is excited to collaborate with Ericsson around standards-based solutions with the open interoperability needed to easily connect people across devices and networks."
"Ericsson believes in visual communications," says Magnus Furustam, vice president and head, Core and IMS, Ericsson. "The preview at the Mobile World Congress is a first significant proof point of Ericsson and Polycom cooperation to create an interoperable end-to-end solution for mass market deployment, enabling telecom operators to offer network-based video services to business users and consumers."
