Grandstream Enters Video Conferencing Market With New Game-Changing Solution
Grandstream
Networks, a leading manufacturer of IP voice, video, data and
mobility solutions, today announced the availability of a new
game-changing video conferencing solution, the GVC3200. The
groundbreaking GVC3200 offers small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs) a
revolutionary video conferencing system with unprecedented platform
flexibility, features, performance and price. This powerful and high
quality room-based video conferencing solution is extremely easy to
install/operate and interoperates with a large variety of major video
conferencing products and services (such as Blue Jeans, Cisco, Polycom,
Huawei, etc.), popular Android video apps (such as Skype (News - Alert)™, Google
Hangouts), and more.
"The GVC3200 offers small or large businesses an unparalleled IP video
conferencing solution with disruptive competitive edges," said David Li (News - Alert),
CEO of Grandstream. "This innovative product eliminates many of the
traditional barriers to video conferencing, such as lack of
interoperability with 3rd party products & apps, complexity
of installation & operation, high cost of professional quality
endpoints, etc." He added, "The GVC3200 offers boardroom telepresence
video quality with the ease of plug-and-play and at a fraction of
current market prices. In addition to broad interoperability with major 3rd
party video conferencing platforms, the GVC3200 provides native support
for various popular Android (News - Alert) video apps and the incredible capability of
bridging calls made with these Android apps with SIP platforms to create
a multi-party/hybrid-protocol conference. In a unique class of its own
that does not exist elsewhere, the GVC3200 creates a new category of
high quality smart video conferencing solutions that offer unrivaled
flexibility, ease of use, application power and market-leading
affordability."

has been completed. Highlights of the GVC3200's competitive features
