Video conferencing in the field

Polycom have announced their latest video conferencing system aimed specifically at police, firefighters, and healthcare professionals.

The Polycom Mobile Responder is a rugged, compact, easy–to-use, transportable video conferencing solution with a built-in display, camera, microphone, and speaker that will greatly improve field communication.

Based on Polycom’s top-of-the-line VSX 8000 system when plugged into a projector, it can handle a large room or group conferences. The system features a fast setup time and is designed to be robust enough to withstand the rigors of field use.

“The Mobile Responder provides exceptional communication and enables speedy resolution to communications issues that occur during emergencies in the field,” said Craig Lynar, vice president of corporate solutions marketing for Polycom. “Our customers and channels can now accomplish more on the road or in the field than ever before.”
