The provider of TurboMeeting Web conferencing solutions, RHUB Communications, Inc., announced today it has signed an agreement and is now certified as a Polycom ARENA partner program member. To allow software application providers, hardware device manufacturers, and conferencing solution providers to integrate their products with Polycom’s industry leading unified collaboration platform to create new applications, as a leader in unified collaborative communications, Polycom, initiated the ARENA program.

The TurboMeeting Web conferencing appliance has been integrated by RHUB with Polycom unified collaboration platform. As an extension of Polycom conferencing solutions, the TurboMeeting solution provides for robust data collaboration and interactivity. The meeting beyond the confines of the conference room is extended by TurboMeeting. To participate in the meeting, attendees need only Internet access and a Web browser.

Because it is appliance-based rather than hosted, easily integrates with Polycom hardware, provides for full interactivity of computer-based data for all users, and supports the revolutionary NO DOWNLOAD mode for universal attendance, TurboMeeting is an ideal adjunct to the Polycom suite of products. Anyone with a browser can join, aith TurboMeeting, a meeting regardless of platform. TurboMeeting is not competitive with any Polycom product, and, by providing an integrated Web conference appliance with remote support and remote access to extend the capabilities for data collaboration, fills a need in the Polycom suite of products.
