Here’s Why Polycom Acquired Spectralink

Polycom Has Acquired Spectralink

Polycom, Inc. , the world’s leading provider of unified collaborative communications solutions, and SpectraLink Corp. , the leader in workplace wireless telephony, today announced that they have signed a definitive agreement under which Polycom will acquire SpectraLink.

Wireless IP Phones Are Hot

And the market for them will be getting even hotter in 2007. Polycom, unlike rivals Cisco and Linksys, does not yet have a wireless IP Phone offering. The acquisition of Spectralink instantly gets them into the wireless IP Phone market, without the need to develop the technology in house.

Expect a new shell (the current Spectralink product design is ugly) and some savvy marketing to be put together on the current Spectralink product line before re-launching under the Polycom name.
