Poly | HP meeting room devices become an integral part of your Smart Building

What are Smart Buildings?

Smart Buildings communicate with internal systems, devices, and sensors such as HVAC, lighting, alarms, cameras, etc. to self-regulate building operations, minimize environmental impact while making it safer and more comfortable for occupants.

Powered by Internet of Things (IoT)1 and Power over Ethernet (PoE)2 et al, smart buildings are poised to play an ever-increasing role in helping businesses manage the return to office and achieve sustainability compliance goals.

Some interesting examples3 of what Smart Buildings can do:

  • Use people counting sensors to automatically turn off lighting, turn off air-conditioning, and trigger an autonomous disinfection process as soon as meeting rooms are vacated.
  • Turn on the building tenant’s allocated space lighting systems as soon as tenant swipes their access card at building entrance.
  • Increase ventilation as occupancy increases.

The Poly | HP & Neowit Advantage

While smart buildings hold a lot of promise, without a single cohesive view of the data from the innumerable devices and sensors in a building, it is difficult for businesses to optimize space utilization, reduce carbon footprint and overall make smarter business decisions.

Further, people-counting and air quality sensors can cost anywhere from $1000 to $3000 USD. Poly | HP Studio X Series devices come with sensors built-in which directly translates to cost savings.

That’s why Poly | HP has partnered with Neowit – a leader in Smart Building technology. Neowit’s flagship product, the Neowit Platform, is a modern and scalable IoT, facility management and workplace portal that provides comprehensive visibility into your office space and assets, by aggregating data from various IoT sensors & devices into a single pane of glass.

Powered by the Poly Lens Management & Insights API

The publicly available Poly Lens Management and Insight API supports all features in the Poly Lens admin portal and enables you to easily plug data from a tenant into third-party platforms such as Neowit. You can use this feature to optimize your workflows, build custom applications or extract the data from Poly Lens in a way that works for your organization.

Smart Buildings Are the Future

With environmental impact, financial and operational considerations, Smart Buildings are clearly an area of global interest. Making the best use of real estate through insights and analytics provided by partnerships such as the one between Poly | HP and Neowit which will undoubtedly deliver a better bottom line for business. Here’s a quick intro video about Neowit.

2022 Year In Review: Finding the Hybrid Work Balance with Zoom https://blogs.poly.com/2022-year-review-hybrid-work-balance-zoom/ Tue, 20 Dec 2022 17:00:26 +0000 https://blogs.poly.com/?p=25225

This year gave organizations the opportunity to explore and shape what hybrid work feels and looks like. Companies across all industries were tasked with finding the perfect balance, from determining how many days employees should spend in the office to identifying the right mix of collaboration tools to support various work styles. We’ve all learned together that hybrid work at its best is fluid. We are so proud that IT leaders continue to trust us with helping their teams share ideas, collaborate, and stay connected no matter where they choose to use Zoom services.

This year we launched Zoom-certified solutions that give users the flexibility to show-up and get the job done in style. Here’s a look back on our innovations that unlocked seamless collaboration experiences for Zoom users.

Zoom Phone

As Zoom Phone grows beyond 4 million seats worldwide, we remain committed to offering a full range of enterprise-grade voice solutions that meet every budget. Check out these three product lines that we’ve thoughtfully engineered together with Zoom to deliver seamless hot-desking and home office experiences.

Poly Edge E series – Our most versatile phone to date packed with indispensable features, including some you didn’t even know you needed.

Poly Edge B series – Enjoy these ENERGY STAR® rated phones equipped with audio-enhancing technologies at a shockingly affordable price.

CCX Series – Certified Zoom Phone Appliances that power a native Zoom user interface. We were happy to expand our portfolio to include the CCX 400 and CCX 500 models. Hold tight for CCX 505 to join the batch in 2023!

 Zoom Rooms

One of this year’s standout innovations that leveled-up the hybrid work experience is Zoom Workspace Reservation which allows employees to easily book office meeting spaces on-site or remotely using an interactive map. At Zoom’s annual end-user conference, Zoomtopia, we announced TC10, a two-in-one touch panel for room scheduling and meeting control. The TC10 powering Zoom Workspace Reservation makes meetings more productive and allows users to easily schedule spaces and conference rooms, control Zoom calls in the room, and share content with one simple touch.

Alongside TC10, we announced Poly Studio Bundles for Zoom Rooms — our latest Windows-based solution powered by HP’s Mini Conferencing PC. This was our most memorable highlight of the year, as it was the first collaboration of Poly and HP coming together as one. More importantly, Zoom customers now have a complete portfolio of both Android-based and PC-based solutions for small, medium, and large-sized Zoom Rooms.

We Are Stronger Together

As the year comes to an end, it’s incredible to see how our shared passion for human connection can trailblaze a wave of innovation, design, and technology. Our many accomplishments this year serves as a reminder that teamwork makes the dream work. With 2023 right around the corner, I’m so excited to see how our partnership with Zoom will take hybrid work to new dimensions.

Zoomtopia Featured a CEO Fireside Chat

Hear from HP CEO Enrique Lores and Zoom CEO Eric S. Yuan as they reflect on the power of human connection, the future of hybrid work, and work/life balance. The Zoomtopia 2022 Closing Keynote and Fireside Chat can be found here.

We look forward to what the Poly | HP and Zoom partnership will bring in the new year!

Poly Edge E Desk Phones Gain Additional Service Provider Certifications https://blogs.poly.com/poly-edge-e-desk-phones-gain-additional-service-provider-certifications/ Mon, 19 Dec 2022 17:00:49 +0000 https://blogs.poly.com/?p=25215

The Poly Edge E phone family continues to grow its network of certified Unified Communications as a Service (UCaaS) platforms. RingCentral, Vonage, Lumen, C-Spire, RevenueWell, and New Horizon Communications have completed their certification and testing of the Poly Edge E phones. Customers on these service provider platforms will be able to use Poly Edge E phones for their UCaaS deployments.

The Poly Edge E phones have been rapidly certified and adopted by several UCaaS platforms since their introduction in August. “We’re thrilled by the response to the Poly Edge E phones from our service provider partners,” said Steven Fair, Sr. Director, Global Voice & Service Provider Platform Sales at Poly. “With the move to hybrid workforces, more companies seek solutions which meet the needs of their employee personas, whether they are in-office, remote and hybrid. Our partners recognize that, which is why we’re seeing such movement toward adding the Poly Edge E series to their lineup.”

The Poly Edge E series is thoughtfully designed to meet the challenges of a hybrid workforce. Built for hot-desking or the home office, these phones offer more ways to connect, like simple mobile phone pairing and fast headset pairing. Poly’s famous noise reduction technology, Microban® antimicrobial product protection, and our cutting-edge design round out the features tailored for the perfect hybrid working experience.

Poly Edge E series phones are easy to deploy and support. Phone users now have a self-diagnostic test they can run themselves before calling support. A QR code can be configured pointing to feature tutorials making these phones easy to learn. And a convenient support contact screens is also configurable by the service provider or the IT help desk, so users don’t have to hunt for support contact information.

To see if your UCaaS provider currently supports the Poly Edge E phones, check our Interoperability and Compatibility page or contact your UCaaS platform provider directly. To learn more about Poly Edge E series IP phones visit Poly.com.

Poly Fast Pair Comes to Edge E Series https://blogs.poly.com/poly-fast-pair-edge-e-series/ Tue, 06 Dec 2022 17:00:05 +0000 https://blogs.poly.com/?p=25202

Hybrid work is happening everywhere, and it’s more than a trend—Poly’s recent persona research, which surveyed more than 5,000 enterprise workers across eight different countries, revealed that 73 percent of employees expect to work from more than one location. Poly is focused on providing innovative solutions and phenomenal features to help these professionals thrive, no matter their workstyle or work environment. Our recently launched Poly Edge E series is a great example and we’re excited to share new two new features now available with the latest Poly Voice Software (PVOS) release 8.0.1.

It’s Easy to Connect

Say hello to Poly Fast Pair! This feature allows users to quickly pair an Edge E series phone with a supported Bluetooth headset, like the Poly Voyager Focus 2. If the Voyager Focus 2 is in Bluetooth pairing mode and within 0.91 m or 3 ft of the Edge E phone with integrated Bluetooth, the phone detects the headset and displays an image of it right on the main screen. To finish the pairing, just press the “Connect” soft key, and that’s it!

This pairing provides three levels of hybrid active noise canceling (ANC) technology and the freedom to move about your office or home while on a call. You can easily grab a document off a printer, refill a beverage or just stand and stretch. Sounds pretty nice, right?

New Settings for Color Vision Deficiency

Phones are a necessary part of daily life and yet they are not all designed inclusively. This is an especially meaningful pain point for those with impaired vision and for the IT decision makers who are doing their best to accommodate a diverse workforce. According to the UK National Health Service, “red-green” color vision deficiency is a common problem that affects around 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women.

Poly Edge E series phones have settings to improve screen readability by adding a color filter on Poly Edge E series phones. The available color filter settings include:

  • Greyscale
  • Protanomaly (Red-Green)
  • Tritanomaly (Blue-Yellow)
  • Deuteranopia (Green-Red)

With features like large and bold font options, text-to-speech technology and a color filter, the Poly Edge E series phones are incredibly inclusive devices, making them a great fit for a diverse workforce. All of the accessibility features are outlined in the Poly Edge E Series Phones Accessibility User Guide.

Poly Expands Zoom Rooms Solutions https://blogs.poly.com/poly-expands-zoom-rooms-solutions/ Wed, 09 Nov 2022 17:00:43 +0000 https://blogs.poly.com/?p=25162

As a trusted Zoom partner, Poly has equipped many meeting rooms with the Poly Studio X Series and G7500 Zoom Rooms Appliances. These solutions simplify Zoom meeting experiences and help create meeting equity with innovative technology, which is why we are excited to announce Poly Studio Bundles for Zoom Rooms—our new PC-based solution, powered by HP’s Mini Conferencing PC. This solution expands our portfolio and fosters Zoom Room adoption with even more flexibility. It doesn’t matter if you need to equip a small meeting space, a large lecture hall or a boardroom, Poly has you covered.

Poly Studio Bundles for Zoom Rooms

Our new Poly Studio Bundles for Zoom Rooms include USB video bars, our Poly Studio R30 for small rooms, our Poly Studio USB for medium rooms and our Poly Studio E70 for large rooms, the recently announced Poly TC10 touch panel and an HP Mini Conferencing PC to power this solution.

The HP Mini Conferencing PC included in the Poly Studio Bundle is a very powerful and capable device, certified to support three cameras (multi-camera mode), three displays, and is designed to allow expansion with Flex port—just in case additional interface is required for future capability. The HP Mini Conferencing PC is a very powerful engine that can scale from small rooms to custom rooms.

Our Poly Studio X Series, G7500 Zoom Room Appliances and Poly Studio Bundles for Zoom Rooms can co-exist in the same organization, offering consistent, simple meeting experiences for everyone.

Supporting Effective Collaboration

Zoom Rooms offer a user-friendly meeting experience for both Android-based Bundles and PC-based Room Bundles. This experience is enhanced with Poly’s innovative Director AI technology, which is built into our room solutions to provide cutting-edge video with various camera framing modes that optimize views of room participants regardless of room sizes or configurations. This technology empowers effective collaboration in a hybrid work environment because it helps virtual attendees feel as if they are in the same room as the speaker and, therefore, can participate on an equitable level. No matter the rooms size or work location, we want to ensure every participant feels equally seen and heard.

Meet. Schedule. Rejoice. Introducing Poly TC10! https://blogs.poly.com/meet-schedule-rejoice-introducing-poly-tc10/ Tue, 08 Nov 2022 17:00:42 +0000 https://blogs.poly.com/?p=25149

Forward-thinking organizations recognize that employee needs have changed over the last few years, and their return-to-office strategies reflect those changes. Most notably, organizations are transforming office environments to optimize rooms and create more technology-infused, engaging collaboration spaces to accommodate and unite their diverse workforce. This demand for more efficient spaces and better meeting experiences has made automated scheduling and room control major areas of focus.

Today, we are excited to introduce the Poly TC10, a two-in-one touch panel for room scheduling and meeting control. The Poly TC10 is the newest addition to our series of Zoom-certified touch panels that make it remarkably easy to schedule collaboration spaces and join video meetings. As a dual-purpose device, it can be used inside the room to control video calls or outside the room to book meetings instantly. The flexible installation options and single Power over Ethernet (PoE) cable provide a clean, simple and professional set up. Whether you mount it on a wall or set it on a table with its flexible, multi-angle stand, you’ve got the tool for true meeting productivity.

BETTER MEETINGS INSIDE AND OUT

The Poly TC10 makes meetings more productive and allows users to easily schedule spaces and conference rooms, control video calls in the room and share content with a tap. From outside the room, users can check vacancy and schedule any bookable space without interrupting the active users. The large, intuitive, high-resolution 10.1” touch display, makes control options clear and accessible, while the multi-color LED lights on the side panel signal room availability and mute status from a distance.

Unlike other solutions in the market, the Poly TC10 includes a multi-angle tabletop stand that is adjustable and tilts the touchscreen to a 30 degree or 60 degree viewing angle for better visibility. During meetings, users can easily access the control dock by simply tapping on the Poly logo or they can launch environmental controls via Extron integration. Designed with all environments in mind, the Poly TC10 comes in white or black and can be discreetly mounted to various surfaces.

At A Glance:

  • Dual device: Incredible versatility empowers usage outside the room for scheduling and inside the room as a video and room controller.
  • High-resolution 10.1” display: Intuitive, large display ensures room details and call controls are clear and accessible.
  • Multi-color status lights: Know when mute is active or quickly find available rooms from a distance via highly visible LED indicators.
  • Clean, simple and flexible installation: The Poly TC10 can be mounted outside the room on a wall or glass. It can also be placed inside the room on a flexible, multi-angle stand.
  • One cable. Zero clutter: Tidy, professional-looking setup, thanks to a sleek design and a single cable for both power and connectivity.

COMPATIBILITY

The Poly TC10 can be paired with our Poly Studio X series or Poly G7500 video conferencing system to control a cloud video app on the device. Certified for Zoom, the Poly TC10 can also be used to schedule and conduct Zoom meetings with ease. Microsoft Teams certification is expected in early 2023.

PRICING AND AVAILABILITY

The Poly TC10 is available now as a standalone accessory for meeting control and room scheduling or as part of the Studio Room Bundles for Zoom Rooms. As a standalone accessory, the Poly TC10 starts shipping in selected countries November 2022 and will be available globally in early 2023 for $1099.

What do Poly and Google Cloud have in common? A passion for technology? A long history of innovation? General awesomeness? Well, yeah, but we also share a common mission — enabling customer success with hybrid work solutions that deliver extraordinary collaboration experiences.

Poly is excited to announce the next step in our shared mission. The Poly Studio X Family will be the first Android-based video bars with a native Google Meet experience built in. This means Google Workspace customers can leverage Poly’s innovative technologies with our first comprehensive room solution for Google Meet — in addition to enjoying the benefits of an Android appliance.

Google Meet on Poly Studio X

The key to successful collaboration is to make every participant feel like they’re in the same room no matter where they’re joining from. Addressing this challenge requires professional-grade, audio and video solutions with advanced capabilities. The native Google Meet experience on Studio X delivers exceptional capabilities that accommodate rooms of any size.

Simple, All-In-One Design

The Studio X Family makes setup easy with an all-in-one design that gets your room up and running in minutes, and the Google Meet app is built right in, providing a seamless native experience. Pairing the Studio X Family with Poly’s intuitive touch interface empowers users so they can join, launch, and share meetings in an instant. This simplicity is valuable because it eliminates complicated processes and reduces frustrations, so everyone can collaborate efficiently and focus on what’s important.

Investment Protection

Ensuring your video conferencing hardware investment is protected for the long haul gives you peace of mind in a very unpredictable world. Fortunately, the Poly Studio X Family is supported natively by many cloud video providers, so you don’t have to stress.

For current Poly Studio X customers, your transition to Meet will be simple: leverage your existing hardware with a new Meet license.

Legendary Audio and Video Technology

The Poly Studio X Family delivers Poly’s audio and video innovations that drive meeting equality. Here are the phenomenal capabilities and technologies users can enjoy:

Poly DirectorAI intelligent camera framing modes automatically adjust according to the dynamics of your meeting to enable the best experience for all attendees.

Poly NoiseBlockAI filters out non-verbal noises, such as keyboard typing, loud HVAC systems, and trains, so the focus stays on the conversation and the user is heard clearly.

Acoustic Fence shields your call from sounds and conversations outside the meeting space and keeps them from becoming a distraction, while supporting more genuine conversation.

Meet the Studio X Family

The Poly Studio X Family offers all-in-one video bar options for any size meeting space. The professional-grade audio and video technology and overall flexibility are sure to please. Here’s a taste of each Studio X Family option:

Poly Studio X30
Boardroom-quality performance in a compact design — this delightfully simple all-in-one video bar is perfect for equipping all your small rooms and huddle spaces.

Poly Studio X50
With immersive room-filling audio and an advanced second-order gradient-microphone array, this video bar was built for mid-sized rooms. Thanks to the dual display support, you can see people and content in full size.

Poly Studio X70
Ready for the best meeting experience available? Poly Studio X70 turns any large-room video call into a hassle-free delight. Its dual 4k cameras intelligently work together to provide optimized views of all parts of a large room while seamlessly transitioning between people.

Poly Touch Interface
Our intuitive touch interface lets you access your meeting with ease. Its sleek design features a high-resolution touch display to make control options clear and accessible.

Extending the Power of Poly on Google Meet

Poly’s partnership with Google Cloud provides users with more options for enabling hybrid work and increasing flexibility. This announcement is a big leap forward for the partnership. Google Meet on Poly Studio X will be available with a software update on Studio X, which is expected in Q1 of 2023.

Continuous Growth

Poly continues to grow our collaboration portfolio of devices across Google Cloud platforms, including Google Meet, Google Voice and Chrome OS. Here’s the latest:

Introducing Poly’s CCX 350 Microsoft Teams Certified Phone https://blogs.poly.com/introducing-polys-ccx-350-microsoft-teams-certified-phone/ Wed, 12 Oct 2022 18:00:10 +0000 https://blogs.poly.com/?p=25082

We are excited to introduce the CCX 350—the latest addition to the CCX family! The CCX 350 will be the first Microsoft Teams certified desk phone in the CCX family to have Microban® technology integrated directly into the plastics for enhanced antimicrobial protection, making it ideal for multiple users in high-traffic common areas and in this hybrid work era. In addition to being the perfect common area solution, the CCX 350 is great for end users, especially those who wear gloves while they work, because it offers a physical dial pad and parity in capability with our CCX 400. Both of these assets make life easier for IT and the end user.

Take a Closer Look at the CCX 350

Of the six solutions in the CCX family, the CCX 350 is the first Microsoft Teams certified desk phone solution with a non-touchscreen interface. Thanks to the dial pad’s varied textures and spacing, the CCX 350 is optimized for use with gloved hands, which is great because this solution provides durability ideal for a retail, manufacturing or lab environment. In these environments, common areas and shared phones are necessary and all surfaces are regularly wiped down. This phone supports your commitment to workplace cleanliness because the built in Microban® antimicrobial technology actually helps the phone stay cleaner for longer, which provides some peace of mind for the multitude of daily users.

It can Handle a Noisy Environment

Are the forklifts beeping in the background? Are there other conversations happening nearby? Is the bakery line humming or the depot space clanking? In common areas, disruptive noise comes with the territory, and the CCX 350 can handle it all. With the CCX 350, you can meet and speak with confidence because Poly’s exclusive Acoustic Fence and NoiseBlockAI technology enhances the end user experience. These technologies eliminate distracting background noise at the source, so everyone can hear and be heard clearly.

The Rest of the CCX Family

If the CCX 350 isn’t the perfect fit for you, check out the other solutions in the CCX family:

  • The CCX 400 is the touchscreen alternative for a common area.
  • The CCX 500 and 505 are great for cubicle spaces and knowledge workers. With the CCX 505’s Wi-Fi functionality, it makes an excellent solution for the home office.
  • The CCX 600 offers a larger screen, which is ideal for a manager and executive. It also sports the capability to integrate an Eagle-Eye Mini camera to add video conferencing to the desk phone.
  • The CCX 700 also has a larger screen ideal for an executive user, but it has an integrated camera with a privacy shutter built right in.
  • The CCX 600’s video integration and the CCX 700 are only available for non-Microsoft Teams ecosystems.

When will the CCX 350 be Available?

Our Poly CCX 350 launches as the CCX family’s entry-level solution for Teams in October. Give your service provider a call to make sure their testing has been completed and they are ready to fully support this new phone. The phones will be officially available in North America in late November 2022, and they will be globally available in Q1 of 2023. Take some time and visit our Poly Desk Phones page to learn more about the CCX line and other phones in our portfolio.
