Polycom® RealPresence Trio™

As the world's first smart hub for group collaboration, the Polycom® RealPresence Trio™ is the most versatile conference speakerphone in the world. A decade of research on user behavior, needs, and productivity informed the development and design of this multi-purpose conference solution, which revolutionizes the way teams share ideas.

The Polycom® RealPresence Trio™ brings the conference room into the 21st century with features such as superior audio quality (360° microphone coverage, background noise cancelling, 20ft mic pick up), 5" touchscreen with Android OS functionality, intuitive smartphone-like user interface, and external device pairing.

Prior to this product, the traditional three-legged speaker, while a fixture in every conference room, had not been updated to reflect the technological advances of the last decade. As a result, the classic models lacked the capacity to communicate and integrate modern functionalities necessary for a productive conferencing environment.

We worked closely with Polycom's engineers to create a product that would expand expectations of a three-legged conference room speaker system, and evolve this product into an integrated smart hub that is conducive to maximum productivity, and facilitates creativity in the workplace. We took into account the needs of meeting participants and paired them with technological solutions available to us today, to create a user experience that is intuitive and effective.

The Polycom® RealPresence Trio™ brings the iconic three-legged conference room speaker into the age of digital communication, with progressive features such as an integrated 5" color touchscreen display, Android OS functionality, premium audio input/output, NFC, sophisticated background noise blocking, and external device integration.

The clean, modern design of the Polycom® RealPresence Trio™ and its intuitive functionality introduce a new design language focused on collaboration. Its simple streamlined design penetrates deeper than its form, and offers a user experience that is intuitive and user driven.

The Trio was designed to optimize user productivity. The built-in high-quality speakers with background noise blocking technology, 360° microphone coverage, and up to 20-foot microphone pick up range deliver the best-ever audio experience to date. We have also enhanced user experience by incorporating illuminated mute buttons on each leg and 5-way HD voice conferencing capacity.

The Polycom® RealPresence Trio™ is the only smart hub on the market that allows HD content sharing from external devices such as smart phones, computers, and tablets. Seamless integration with external visual devices redefines product expectations in its category, and provides opportunity for intuitive, no-compromise visual collaboration that previously would be cost prohibitive. Skype calls are also made simple with integrated Skype for Business through Microsoft Lync and built-in support for a 1080p30 USB camera.

The Polycom® RealPresence Trio™ allows meeting participants to share information and meeting materials in an intuitive and effortless manner. Integrated superior audio technology allows every person to hear and be heard; device pairing allows users to share images and videos with the whole group right from their smartphone or laptop. This smart hub creates a conferencing experience that is conducive to effective ideation, creative collaboration, and increased productivity.
