Polycom Recognised By Frost & Sullivan For Outstanding VOIP Product Line Strategy

The award cites Polycom's leadership and innovation in the North American enterprise IP telephony market

PLEASANTON, Calif. - Jun 27, 2007 : Polycom, Inc. [NASDAQ: PLCM], the world's leading provider of unified collaborative communications solutions, has been recognized by global growth consulting company Frost & Sullivan for its exceptional Voice over IP product line strategy. Each year Frost & Sullivan presents this Award to the company that has demonstrated the most insight into customer needs and product demands. Frost & Sullivan attributes the company's success to several factors including its strong relationships with PBX vendors and softswitch manufacturers, its wide portfolio of IP standards-based telephones, and its ability to grow and strengthen its portfolio in the enterprise IP telephony endpoint market through in-house product development, partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions.

"We're honored by this recognition. Our strategy to build strong relationships with PBX vendors and softswitch manufacturers has helped us secure a strong presence in the SMB space," said Sunil Bhalla, Polycom senior vice president and general manager of Voice Communications. "We also strive to offer our customers market-defining products including our HD Voice technology, while maintaining affordable solutions that are interoperable with most standards-based telecom systems worldwide."

Frost & Sullivan identifies Polycom as the leading session initiation protocol (SIP)-based enterprise deskphone vendor in the market. The Polycom portfolio features multiple devices that range from affordable entry-level phones to advanced, state-of-the-art devices. Polycom IP desktop phones are deployed in premise-based environments as well as hosted ones.

"Polycom's broad portfolio of IP telephones has secured it the leading position in the SIP-based desktop phone market," said Elka Popova, global program director at Frost & Sullivan. "Its HD Voice feature delivers top-quality voice communications to enterprises choosing to deploy next-generation telephony."

Popova added, "The company offers a comprehensive SIP-based IP telephony endpoint line. And going forward, we believe that Polycom will not only be a leading SIP-based end-point vendor and the leader in table-top conferencing solutions; but also, the leader in the voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN) market through its strategic acquisition of SpectraLink."
