Unified Video Advantage lets Cisco Unified IP phone users add video to their
communications experience. With Cisco Unified Video Advantage, video telephony is as
easy as a phone call.
Cisco Unified Communications Solutions unify voice, video, data, and mobile applications on fixed
and mobile networks, delivering a media-rich collaboration experience across business,
government agency, and institutional workspaces. These applications use the network as the
platform to enhance comparative advantage by accelerating decision time and reducing
transaction time. The security, resilience, and scalability of the network help users in any
workspace to easily connect every time, everywhere, using any media, device, or operating
system. Cisco Unified Communications is part of a comprehensive solution that includes network
infrastructure, security, wireless, management applications, lifecycle services, flexible deployment
and outsourced management options, and third-party applications.
Interactive Face-to-Face Communications
Cisco Unified Video Advantage brings video telephony functions to Cisco Unified IP phones (Cisco
Unified IP Phones 7900 Series and Cisco IP Communicator softphone application).
