Why HD audio versus standard audio?

[Michael_Rose]

Healthcare as a business vertical seems to be at the cutting edge of deploying IT to facilitate mission critical operations. The video below demonstrates how effective HD audio can be in delivering crystal clear audio communication – a must have in any environment that may be dispensing patient care.

The possibilities across other industries and business applications are endless. Wherever verbal communication with remote parties is required, HD is always better than SD.

But why?

Take the Polycom SoundStation IP 7000. It features Polycom HD Voice technology which boosts productivity by reducing listener fatigue. It turns ordinary conference calls into crystal-clear interactive conversations. It delivers high-fidelity audio from 160 Hz to 22 kHz, capturing both the deeper lows and higher frequencies of the human voice for conference calls that sound as natural as being there.

Polycom’s iconic SoundStation conference phones are the industry standard and have become a mainstay of meeting rooms throughout the world. But we’ve continued to innovate, including the introduction of echo cancellation and background noise reduction technology. Today, Polycom offers a suite of conference phone options, each specifically designed for different environments. These include:

• Conference phones designed to meet the acoustic requirements of different types of rooms, such as the Polycom SoundStation IP 7000 solution for larger conference rooms, and the Polycom SoundStation IP 5000 phone for smaller meeting rooms and executive offices
• The SoundStation Duo conference phone that includes both analogue and IP connectivity to ensure your investment is protected if your type of connectivity changes in future
  
• Models designed for analog, digital PBX, and VoIP environments, each with unique features that take advantage of the benefits provided by the different types of telephony environments
• And my favourite: the Polycom SoundStation2W wireless conference phone that offers the ultimate in mobility. It can be used in multiple offices or conference rooms, or can be connected to a mobile phone for conference calls from nearly anywhere.
