Polycom MGC 50

The MGC family is Polycom's market leading Unified Collaborative Communications platform and brings together video, audio and web collaboration. As an enterprise solution, the MGC 50 provides everything you will need to conference together any endpoint, at any speed, over any network!

As the need to communicate over great distances grows, so the benefits of deploying this infrastructure solution also grow.

The MGC platform will deliver you high return on investment, particularly if you are currently outsourcing your audio conferencing and perhaps your video conferencing bridging services. Thus delivering improved profitability to your organisation.

If privacy is of paramount importance, then by deploying your own MGC, all of your audio conferences, together with your video conferencing and web collaboration can be kept totally secure.

The MGC platforms deliver a cost effective way to schedule and manage all of your organisations conferences in-house, by using MGC Manager. Or you could add WebCommander, which will allow selected users to schedule meetings via the web. There is also a range of other software and hardware peripherals to enhance your MGC.

Delivered in an 8 slot chassis, you can increase the capability of your MGC 50 as your requirements grow. You can even cascade MGC platforms to provide resiliency and load sharing.

As you would expect from such a complex solution, the Polycom MGC 50 can only be supplied, installed and supported by a properly trained Polycom partner - who must be at least Gold Certified.
