Security - Firewall Traversal

Expand your IP video conferencing network and connect to anyone, anywhere without worrying about inter-company firewall issues. Polycom's V²IU 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 V²IU also optimizes video quality by prioritizing video traffic over data traffic, providing both shortest path routing and traffic shaping.

With V²IU, Polycom continues to remove conferencing barriers, allowing organizations to communicate and share visual information anytime, anywhere.
