HTC and Polycom have announced collaboration by which Polycom’s Video Conferencing service, RealPresence Mobile will be made available on select HTC smartphones and tablets in mid-2012.
Wondering what RealPresence Mobile is? Well it is powered by the Polycom RealPresence Platform, which is a secure, enterprise-grade video software solution for mobile devices that extends the reach of video collaboration beyond the conference room, allowing users on the go with a mobile device to easily connect with other standards-based video systems including immersive video rooms, group/desktop systems, laptops, tablets, and smartphones in HD quality.
David Jaeger, executive director of Global Enterprise and Services for HTC said, “Video collaboration is a critical application within mobile platforms, and offering Polycom’s RealPresence Mobile on HTC smartphones and tablets will provide tremendous value and opportunities for our customers. Polycom’s mobile video application supports our commitment to provide authentic audio and amazing imaging on our devices and together, we can now extend this experience to our enterprise customers.”
Bringing on the RealPresence Mobile over to HTC devices will enable a majority of workforce to freely carry on with their work from anywhere and anytime. The RealPresence Mobile will be available for select HTC devices and users to take advantage of from mid-2012 and will be made available through the Android Market.
