Polycom VVX 501 Overview

Designed for a broad range of environments from small and medium businesses to large enterprises, the VVX 501 performance business media phone improves productivity, by complimenting the workplace applications on the user's computer. Users benefit from such capabilities as viewing and managing their Exchange calendars and contacts on the phone and receive meeting reminders while still having access to their corporate directory—and all while waiting for their PCs to boot. Users can also extend their PC desktop to include the VVX 501 phone's screen, enabling simplified interactions and dialing using their PC's mouse and keyboard. Training and multipoint communication applications are complemented by the VVX 501 video playback capability for streaming content.
