The continued move toward bringing our tools and media together, including the sharpening of sound and picture fidelity to match our own senses, is revolutionizing human telecommunications. On this whiteboard, some insights and proposals of why it's happening and where it's going.
What is HD Voice?
What is UC?
Where do we find it?
Who's doing it?
How do open standards relate?
Why does it matter?
How do you pronounce "VoIP?"
Is it another gimmick?
Why's it taken so long?
Is it like HD Video?
Who owns “Telepresence?”
How does it work?
How do phones work?
Can I hook an Asterisk server to my hot tub?
...and any others that come to mind
I'm Jeffrey Rodman, co-founder and CTO of Polycom, for 26 years a world leader in telepresence, videoconferencing, and incidentally the company that also invented that extraordinary triangular speakerphone twenty years ago.
Through our whole multimedia history, we have been applying and extending the principles of transparency and excellence to give the absolute best and most reliable connections among people who have no choice but to connect at a distance. Those who need the best in telehuman communications, with no problems and no mistakes, come to Polycom.
Legal disclaimer: You already know what I'm going to say here. The contents of this blog are entirely my own creation, except where they come from elsewhere, in which case they're either attributed, quoted, referenced, accidentally non-attributed, or subconsciously linked without clear volition on my part. While it's my opinion that Polycom is doing, and has done, some great world-changing things, Polycom Corporation has no (zip, sifar, zero, sifuri, nada, صفر, ninguno, 零, cero, nul, нуль, 0, squat) responsibility for any missteps, slurs, accidentals, lies or damned lies that may exist within the boundaries of this blog. I will try to have none of the above except in the context of a musical or statistical discussion, but I am also not responsible for any results (especially bad ones) that may come from you taking my words too seriously. All the normal "hey, I'm not responsible for anything" words that you'll find in common disclaimers apply here too. Oh, and any really weaselly words you have ever heard drooling out of a lawyer, especially if they allowed someone to dodge some richly earned retribution, also apply here, as I have a particular fondness for well-crafted weaselly words. That's an art, really.
