Polycom Product and Solutions Marketing Senior Vice President Jim Kruger said, "Polycom SoundStation Connect lets customers take the legendary Polycom SoundStation audio conferencing experience anywhere they want to have voice or video meeting on their computer. SoundStation Connect is ideal for groups of people in small to midsize rooms such as salespeople and customers in a huddle room, patients and doctors in an office, or creative designers and ad experts in a brainstorm area. Polycom’s best-in-class HD audio technology allows all of the meeting participants on the call to hear and be heard, making calls more productive.”

There are many things that could be said about the Polycom SoundStation Connect. But the real benefits that users could have from it are the following:

• Clear Conversations
• Easy to Deploy with Broad Interoperability
• Easy to Use and Transport

Since the Polycom Voice technology that Polycom SoundStation Connect uses is capable of reducing echo, feedback and noises and its microphone can cover over 7 feet in diameter, clear conversation is produced using the SoundStation Connect.

The Polycom SoundStation Connect can easily be deployed because of its plug and play design. The device is flexible enough and can run on USB power as well as work in any UC softphone application used in computers. And lastly, its portability comes from its design where audio functions like mute and volume controls can be used for meetings on the go. It is available starting in the second quarter of 2013 in selected countries at US$299.
