VoIP: SoundPoint® IP 600 SIP - Digital Convergence Product of the Year
Network Computing Well-Connected Award

The Polycom SoundPoint IP 600, a standards-based, feature-rich IP desktop phone received the prestigious "Product of the Year Award" in the Digital Convergence category during the annual Network Computing Well Connected Awards ceremony held May 10 at the Networld+Interop show in Las Vegas. Tested in a head-to-head competition against other SIP desktop phones in Network Computing magazine, the SoundPoint IP 600 was selected for its high quality, intuitive user interface, rich feature set, and customization and diagnostic capabilities.

"The Well-Connected Awards are the only industry awards given by technologists based on real-world product testing and evaluation. We view all products, technologies and services from the same perspective as our readers-our peers-do," said Fritz Nelson, vice president and group publisher of Network Computing Enterprise Architecture Group. "This is an important distinction from any other award program-the products selected in the Well-Connected Awards are unique because they have been tested over an enterprise by our editors themselves. They are truly innovative solutions that work."

Wireless: MobileMeeting™ - Best of Mobile Showcase
MobileTrax Conference

Polycom MobileMeeting, an instant group calling application for mobile phones and devices, received the "Best of Mobile Showcase" award at Mobile Showcase, a leading conference for enterprise IT executives held May 3-5 at the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort and Spa in Indian Wells, Calif. Mobile Showcase is produced by MobileTrax, a leading source of information on the mobile computing and wireless data industry for the enterprise. The award was chosen by the attendees who ranked the quality of the presentation and value to the industry for all 56 companies that did an onstage technology demonstration.

"The companies that won Best of Mobile Showcase had solid products coupled with excellent presentations," said J. Gerry Purdy, principle analyst with MobileTrax. "MobileMeeting creates a new collaboration dynamic for mobile devices that easily bring people together simply and quickly. The solution works on mobile devices, but can connect any user - mobile or not and regardless of the carrier network they subscribe to -- as long as they have a phone number. This is an exciting new application that mobile carriers can deliver to customers without significant impact on their existing network infrastructure."
