Polycom has announced that its Polycom RealPresence Platform is serving as the backbone of a secure video collaboration environment for members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Polycom will demonstrate the universal collaboration capabilities of the RealPresence Platform, along with other video collaboration solutions, at the NATO Information Assurance and Cyber Defence Symposium (NIAS 2013).
Through a NATO contract awarded to Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), Polycom has become the video collaboration platform of choice for NATO employees and delegates who regularly meet face-to-face to confidentially negotiate diplomatic missions, organize humanitarian interventions, and plan NATO Response Force actions wherever NATO members are threatened.
Gus Mommers, Centre Head, Conference Management Services at the NATO Communications and Information (NCI) Agency said, At NIAS 2013, NATO’s IT community will learn how to modernize our IT infrastructure in ways that preserve information assurance. The solutions demonstrated here by SAIC and Polycom many of which are already in use throughout NATO are an important part of that information assurance landscape.
Whether engaged in peacekeeping, humanitarian missions, or military response in some of the world’s most dangerous locations, NATO stands up for people who all want the same thing: peace, security, and well-being. We’re proud SAIC chose Polycom to help NATO deliver on that mission. said Tony D’Angelo, Vice President, Federal Operations at Polycom.
A scheduling application built with myVRM, a Polycom/ SAIC Technology Partner, allows authorized users to schedule video meetings based on the security classification of the rooms and endpoints available at a given time.
