Grandstream Expands Award-Winning Video Conferencing Portfolio with New Room-Based Solution

New GVC3202 delivers Full HD video communications with disruptive features, performance and price

BOSTON--()--Grandstream Networks, connecting the world since 2002 with award-winning SIP unified communication solutions, today announced a new addition to its award-winning video conferencing platform. The GVC3202 Video Conferencing System is a groundbreaking, Android-based video conferencing platform offering unprecedented platform flexibility, features, performance and price. This high quality room-based video conferencing system contains a built-in MCU to support local 3-way video mixing, is extremely easy to install/operate and supports most SIP video conferencing platforms and services (such as Cisco, Polycom, Huawei, Blue Jeans, etc.). The GVC3202 also supports popular Android video apps (such as Skype™, Google Hangouts) and more.

The GVC3202 builds on the success of the GVC3200, the flagship higher-end model of the GVC32xx series released June 2015. Where the GVC3200 is a great option for businesses seeking up to 9-way conferencing and support for up to 3 Full HD monitors in large conferencing scenarios (such as corporate headquarters), the GVC3202 offers a slightly lower capacity and lower cost option for businesses wanting up to 3-way video-conferencing and support for up to 2 Full HD monitors (such as small-to-medium offices or branch offices). The GVC3202 is also a very cost-effective hardware option for those using any third-party SIP cloud video conferencing services. Both products offer customers a flexible and customizable video conferencing system that’s easy to install and easy to use while supporting both Android and SIP platforms.

“We’re very excited to expand our video conferencing portfolio with the introduction of GVC3202,” said David Li, CEO of Grandstream. “As video conferencing grows in the market, it’s important to provide our customers with a variety of product options. The GVC3202 offers a powerful and flexible video conferencing system to small-to-medium office or branch office users at an extremely compelling price point.”
