Through these systems can be also participated in large TelePresence calls with or without video and the latest technology even enables it to invite even if people from outside the company they are not in the same network sit and do not use WebEx.

What do you have it?

Cisco DX-650 operates on the Voice over IP principle. The unit closes it to a central Cisco Unified Communications Manager server. A select number of Cisco partners offer this service from the cloud as Hosted Collaboration Solution (HCS). If you have no business with multiple people than you will probably not use this unit. To use all the functions you’ll need to take a Cisco Partner an account and there are of course costs involved again. The DX650 is really designed for organizations with multiple employees spread across the country and abroad.

For companies with multiple employees, this could be due to the rapid and convenient way of working. a terribly useful device Especially when there are many employees working from home are the Cisco capabilities such as Telepresence, WebEx and Jabber ( Chat & video client) very very convenient. There’m already working on a version where they use the multi-user capabilities of Android so that it can be.
