Earlier this month Yamaha pledged its commitment to the unified communications (UC) market with the development of a dedicated UC department, Yamaha UC. Now the Revolabs parent company is backed up the claim by announcing that Yamaha UC has teamed with Microsoft to make the 1000MS Speakerphone certified for Skype for Business.
Yamaha acquired meeting room communication solution manufacturer Revolabs in 2014. Just this past year, though, during Enterprise Connect Orlando 2017, the Japanese electronics giant seemed to shift toward branding some meeting room solutions as Yamaha as opposed to Revolabs.

Yamaha YVC-1000MS is a good example. The USB speakerphone solution is engineered with Yamaha’s quality audio technology and expertise to enhance the Skype for Business meeting user experience, according to a press release.
Available in October 2017, the Yamaha YVC-1000MS microphone and speaker system has passed Skype for Business’ stringent Certification Version 3 tests, meeting the high standards that define the Skype for Business meeting experience with natural, clear audio, it adds.
More from Yamaha’s YVC-1000MS press release:
The YVC-1000MS is a scalable and flexible solution engineered to support the audio requirements of large meeting rooms, rooms with special table configurations, and even remote education classes or seminars within the Skype for Business application. The YVC-1000MS features separate microphone and speaker units that smoothly integrate audio for natural, comfortable remote communication.
Yamaha’s adaptive echo cancellation and other unique high-quality sound processing technologies developed over the years also help facilitate a stress-free conversation.
