Polycom® VPB Firewall Appliance

Expand your IP video conferencing network and connect to anyone, anywhere without worrying about inter-company firewall issues.

Polycom's VPB NAT/Firewall traversal solution is a cost effective approach that replaces or works in conjunction with your existing firewall, by providing a trusted route through any corporate firewall. The VPB also optimises video quality by prioritizing video traffic over data traffic, providing both shortest path routing and traffic shaping.


Polycom® VPB Firewall Appliance

Key Features:

  • For organisations with multiple locations, including home workers, Polycom's NAT/Firewall traversal solution is a cost effective approach that allows all members of the organisation to call each other and people outside their organisation seamlessly.
  • VSX video conferencing endpoints and VPB NAT/firewall traversal devices are now compliant with the ITU-T H.460 standard.
  • Organisations gain additional dialing scenarios by taking advantage of both H.460 and VPB NAT/firewall traversal device. Dial any IP number whether at home, on the road or in the office.
  • Locations with three or less Polycom VSX video conferencing endpoints can use the built in H.460 support to call other locations within the organisation, or people outside the organisation.
  • Locations with more than four Polycom VSX video conferencing endpoints should choose the most appropriate VPB for their location to guarantee quality of service, least cost routing and traffic shaping. Solutions include:
    - Polycom VPB 200EW - throughput up to 1Mbps
    - Polycom VPB 4350 - up to 9 concurrent calls @ 384Kbps
    - Polycom VPB 5300 E10 - up to 30 concurrent calls @ 384Kbps
    - Polycom VPB 5300 E25 - up to 60 concurrent calls @ 384Kbps
    - Polycom VPB 6400 E85 - up to 220 concurrent calls @ 384Kbps
  • Quality of Service (QoS): With the VPB product line QoS is maintained from beginning to end with shortest path routing.
  • Traffic Shaping: The VPB through packet inspection shapes the packets to guarantee the least amount of lost packets, ensuring a better video conferencing experience.
  • The Polycom VPB with H.460 support enables remote users such as road warriors or small remote offices to access video conferencing from any location.
Polycom VSX video endpoints and VPB NAT/firewall traversal devices are now compliant with IT-T H.460 standard, providing a complete solution which allows even mobile users and home offices to seamlessly connect without the need for on-site hardware. With VPB, Polycom continues to remove conferencing barriers, allowing organisations to communicate and share visual information anytime, anywhere.
