call via the IP address. Calendar meetings can be joined with
a simple touch.
 The Polycom Touch Control integrates with Microsoft®
Exchange software to provide information about location.

reads any Microsoft® Office-formatted file directly from an
inserted flash drive, allowing users to easily view and share
content. A second USB port dedicated to PC connectivity
automatically runs Polycom People+Content IP™ content-
sharing technology.
