Polycom CX5100/CX5500 “Roundtable” Gets Modernized: 1080p HD, New Design & Lync 2013

 

After looking over the new spec’s here is a very quick overview of what looks upgraded to me:

• 1080p 30fps HD 360 degree Video
• USB only operation (5100 USB Only or 5500 as complete conference phone)
• New CX5100 USB Devices does note have a screen
• New CX5500 Will Have a Touch Screen Interface (Click here)
• Integration with Lync Room System
• Custom built for Lync 2013
• Device physical design revamp (show below)
• “An all-new user interface”
• New The CX5500 can be a “fully featured SIP conference phone”
• So if you are not using Lync you can still use the CX5500 for audio conference (Click here)

More details per Polycom:
