The Polycom® VVX® 500 performance business media phone unifies superior voice capabilities and applications into a simple-to-use, yet high performance unified communications (UC) solution. It is the ideal, all-in-one knowledge worker productivity tool, built to integrate seamlessly into a wide range of UC environments.

The Polycom VVX 500 phone is built for today’s busy managers and knowledge workers who need a powerful, yet intuitive, expandable office phone that keeps up with their multitasking and schedule-juggling. Building on the behavior common to mobile phones, the intuitive, multi-touch, gesture-based user interface of the VVX 500 phone makes navigation easy and requires no learning curve.

Designed for a broad range of environments from small and medium businesses to large enterprises, the VVX 500 performance business media phone improves productivity, by complimenting the workplace applications on the user’s computer. Users benefit from such capabilities as viewing and managing their Exchange calendars and contacts on the phone and receive meeting reminders while still having access to their corporate directory—and all while waiting for their PCs to boot. Users can also extend their PC desktop to include the VVX 500 phone’s screen, enabling simplified interactions and dialing using their PC’s mouse and keyboard. Training and multipoint communication applications are complemented by the VVX 500 video playback capability for streaming content.

The VVX 500 phone is easy to deploy and simple to manage. Its enterprise-grade, Web-based, intuitive configuration method gives administrators the ability to easily provision and maintain a large number of phones throughout the entire enterprise. The built-in, broad interoperability capabilities allow IT departments to leverage previous IT infrastructure investments and achieve easy integration with third-party UC and productivity applications.

The VVX 500 phone provides personalized information at a glance, through built-in Web applications and even a Digital Photo Frame. Polycom’s “My Info Portal” serves up stocks, news, sports, weather, and other streamed content directly to the phone’s screen. The VVX 500 phone also comes ready for future expansion modules and accessories for applications such as video conferencing and even wireless networking.

Designed for enhanced interoperability, leveraging and complementing the other existing IT investments of any enterprise, the VVX 500 phone delivers HD voice, a superior UC experience bundled with business applications. With the broadest call server interoperability in the industry, the Polycom VVX 500 business media phone can become the flexible and future-proof foundation for any organization’s unified communications strategy.
