We are pleased to announce unprecedented enhancements to our product and solution portfolio. Our goal is to make it easier than ever for you and your customers to take advantage of Polycom's competitive differentiators. Polycom is simplifying the HDX room telepresence series to streamline the steps in the sales process and make it easier for your clients to determine the ideal Polycom HDX solution and services for their environment. This is another "game-changer" in the marketplace together with the H.264 High Profile--which cuts bandwidth requirements up to 50%--and Polycom Open Collaboration Network (POCN), our open-standard simplified interoperability strategy to deliver end-to-end integrated Unified Communication solutions.

Polycom HDX Room Telepresence Series Highlights

Here are the highlights of our new Polycom HDX room telepresence series enhancements:

1080p HD QUALITY AND HIGH PROFILE ACROSS THE ENTIRE POLYCOM HDX ROOM TELEPRESENCE SERIES!

• Our complete line of HDX room telepresence systems is now 1080p capable, and all of the systems support High Profile for the highest-quality video at up to half the bandwidth of the competition.
• All Polycom HDX room telepresence solutions now include everything required to deliver the Polycom Ultimate™HD experience: HD voice, HD video, and HD content, including all content sharing options, extended inputs and outputs for additional video sources and multiple monitor support, and higher line rates to maximize dual stream performance.

NEW, SIMPLIFIED HDX ROOM TELEPRESENCE PRICE LIST

• Selecting the right HDX room telepresence system for any customer application has never been easier. With more than 50 percent of the line items removed from the price list, the selling process has been improved with less SKUs to stock and manage and fewer options to explain.
• Polycom has eliminated all XL (content sharing) and XLP (multipoint and extended I/O) packages for the HDX room telepresence solutions. That's over 600 SKUs in total.

NEW PRICING FOR POLYCOM HDX ROOM TELEPRESENCE SYSTEMS AND POLYCOM GLOBAL SERVICES!

• With the inclusion of the new HDX 9000-1080 and the HDX 6000-View, the Polycom HDX series now provides the broadest value range, from premium room integrations to budget-conscious huddle systems.
• With the extended leadership delivered in HDX Release 2.6, positioning and pricing for each HDX room telepresence system has been calibrated to deliver maximum competitive impact for you and Polycom. See Product Bulletin 1162 for complete details.
• Global Services pricing for HDX and conferencing infrastructure products as well as select voice products has been increased to reflect the appropriate market value being delivered today by Polycom and our service partners. Polycom service partners will now see a higher return from their current investment in certification, training, and delivered services. Pricing will become effective on May 1. See Product Bulletins 1171 and 1172 for complete details.
• To see how our HDX products and service offerings compare to the competition, visit the Polycom Partner Resource Center (PRC) competitive information section.
