Polycom, Inc., the global leader in open standards-based unified communications (UC), today announced that Wembley-based mBlox, a leading mobile commerce provider, is successfully using Polycom RealPresence video collaboration solutions, including RealPresence Mobile, to combat the congestion in London during the Summer Games in late July through mid-August. With the population surging by up to a million people in the capital attending the Summer Games, London is braced for severe disruption to its transport network.

 The UK government has urged businesses in London to put remote working practices into place and is leading the charge with civil servants starting a flexible working programme this week.

More and more organisations are recognising the importance of video collaboration to improve productivity and time to market, as well as increase business continuity and agility in the face of problems such as travel disruption during major sporting events, extended holiday periods or the impact of extreme weather conditions,” says Duncan Clarke, analyst from Canalys. ‘This growth trend is set to continue as solutions become more user-friendly and offer greater flexibility, such as the ability to connect HD mobile solutions to room or group systems.
