Posted on 2016-06-07·By Tom LeBlanc
Ricoh Unified Communication System P3500M (from Ricoh): The RICOH Unified Communication System P3500M builds on the successes of its predecessors to enable collaboration and communication between this portable, all-in-one system and any WebRTC-compatible platform. Using the P3500M, organizations can achieve new levels of collaboration. Employees can connect and collaborate with colleagues, customers and partners on the road or around the world, via real-time HD video and audio, and screen sharing, regardless of which WebRTC-supportive system they are using. A great addition to organizations that already have unified communication systems in place, the P3500M works seamlessly within multivendor environments, adding a level of portability not often seen in a market commonly associated with high-end, room-based systems. The P3500M, similar to the RICOH Unified Communication System P3500, is about the size of a laptop and just as versatile. The 3.5-pound device includes an HD camera, microphone and speakers that fit inside a soft-sided carrying case. Boasting the same simple startup as the P3500, the P3500M can be unpacked, plugged in, connected and made entirely ready in about 60 seconds. Additionally, its 2.0 megapixel camera includes a 125-degree wide-angle lens that can easily take in several participants in the room. Mobile workers can stay connected no matter what WebRTC-supportive platforms their collaborators are using … RICOH Unified Communication System P3500M can support numerous locations using a variety of collaboration technologies, with the ability to display nine locations simultaneously. The system includes business-class security features, such as encrypted data streams over wireless networks. The RICOH Unified Communication System P3500M will be available in the summer at a suggested retail price of $2,639 plus subscription fee.
