RIDGES
Polycom has a range of multipoint conferencing bridges which are purpose-built to meet the differing needs of small
to large conferencing networks. The MGC/MGC+ platforms are unique in their ability to support voice, video and data
– multipoint and gateway – scheduled and on-demand – over ISDN, IP, and VoIP/PSTN – including conference
network management and scheduling software – on a single, flexible platform.
The flexibility and scalability of the Polycom MGC platforms enables them to be positioned at the center of the
conferencing network, and deliver a complete range of conference services without the need for additional external
technology. It also ensures that users receive a consistent conferencing experience no matter how they connect, as
the same single platform is delivering service to them.
