Polycom RealPresence Trio 8800
James, the Trio was designed for exactly that. A smaller, simpler footprint in the conference room focused on common tasks like joining an SfB meetings with one touch, sharing content to a screen or adding video to SfB meetings and calls when appropriate. The Visual+ companion module lets you easily add content/video capabilities to the base audio conferencing phone in the desired rooms.
Jeff and Forrest, thanks for the feedback. Quick question, for PSTN dialing using SfB (we have numbers assigned), does the Trio provide a dial pad option when we are not hosting a SfB meeting but rather simply dialing into another conference bridge, (a client, funder, etc). I envisioned setting this up as a dedicated room account that is added to the meetings but also need to dial into other third party bridges.
James, yes you can select your desired actions right from the home screen. So either "Place a Call" which brings up a standard dial pad, "Calendar" which you can use to locate and join SfB meetings, or even "Meet Now" which functions just like the Meet Now action in the SfB client to start andimmediate ad-hoc meeting and then select intended participants from contacts and the SfB address book. You can also go right ot the contacts screen to place peer SfB calls, view recent calls, etc.
