Opportunity to join forces between the first aerospace audio technology to land on the moon and the world's leading Octopus conference phone
When it comes to the brand poly, behind its long history, it has gone through several important changes. Each transformation can be said to be a strong alliance and promotion again. poly｜HP Taiwan General Manager Jiang Yifan said, "Plantronics was founded in 1960 and witnessed Armstrong stepping on the moon. With its superior noise reduction technology and lightweight body, it was successfully selected to become the world's first man to land on the moon. It is an audio headset that transmits sound back to the earth from outer space. Another brand, Polycom, relies on its leading audio technology to design a conference phone commonly known as "Octopus". These two brands have their own specialties. Become an important DNA of the poly brand!”
In 2018, the two companies merged and changed their name to "poly" to provide the market with integrated voice and video technology. Until 2022, the technology giant Hewlett-Packard (HP) focused on the market demand for hybrid office, merged with poly, and became poly｜HP. It aimed at the Hybrid working hybrid office model and created AI face recognition applications, high-end video, audio, A one-stop high-resolution video conferencing product with cross-platform and other services, it is foreseeable that poly｜HP will bring a new audio and video experience to the market in the future!
poly｜HP Taiwan General Manager Jiang Yifan said frankly that the headphone brand Plantronics, which witnessed Armstrong stepping on the moon, acquired Polycom in 2018, which became famous for its "Octopus" conference phone, laying the important DNA of the poly brand!
The biggest driving force behind poly’s 30-year history in Taiwan: Hua Hou
After understanding the origins behind poly｜HP, and then examining the industries that the brand touches in Taiwan today, from government agencies, educational institutions, to top 100 companies, and its accumulated achievements over more than 30 years, we must mention the biggest promoter behind it - Hua HOU CO., LTD. Hong Junhui, the current general manager, recalled: "In 1993, before I joined Huahou, Plantronic and Polycom had yet to merge, there was a foreigner carrying a suitcase with a Polycom signature product inside." "Octopus", he went directly to Huahou's office and asked the old chairman of Huahou Hong Xiuda: "Do you want to watch our conference call?"
Due to the precise vision of Chairman Hong Xiuda, Huahou signed a contract with Polycom and entered the audio and video conferencing industry in 1993, now entering its 30th year! "Poly only had one product, Octopus, in the early days, but it quickly positioned the entire company as a so-called "distance conferencing solution equipment integrator." In just 10 years, it acquired more than 10 companies, and soon became a video conferencing company. The first-line brand of conference equipment!" Speaking of this long-term cooperative brand, Huahou General Manager Hong Junhui was deeply impressed by the brand's leading technology. "In 2004, when we went to the United States for a conference, Polycom's technical staff mentioned that video conferencing would be a must in the future. It has evolved to be carried out on computers. Although video conferencing can now be held with smartphones, this idea was unimaginably forward-thinking given the performance of computers that struggled to process echoes at that time! "
Polycom's excellent technology was a savior that successfully solved the difficulties of many business people during the SARS epidemic that year! Hong Junhui, the current general manager, recalled: "I remember that during the SARS epidemic in 2002 and 2003, when Heping Hospital was closed, Hua Hou was acting as an agent for Polycom video products. Many business people who originally had to fly around the world to participate in meetings encountered border closures. In an emergency, people rushed to Huahou's office to grab video phone equipment, and a bunch of companies came with cash, and even the company's demo machine was unplugged, and not a single one was left."
Hong Junhui, general manager of Huahou Co., Ltd., recalled that in the early days, Poly only had one product: conference phones. In just ten years, it acquired more than ten companies and quickly became a first-line brand of video conferencing equipment!
Accurately master autofocus to overcome all difficulties when climbing mountains and seas
In recent years, the COVID-19 epidemic has hit, and the demand for remote and hybrid offices has increased. Poly, which has been deeply involved in video conferencing technology for a long time, can be said to be ahead of schedule and continues to break through high standards in audio and image quality. poly | HP Taiwan Solution Architecture Teacher Jian Zhaohong shared, "In the Polycom era, the public standard 14K audio algorithm was actually formulated, and the industry followed it as a standard. The brand has also successfully presented time-lag-free performances in multinational online concerts, which shows the leading technology of audio . In the early days, the video part did not have tracking functions. Most of them used the manual button switch of the gooseneck microphone of the environmental control device. Each device had a coordinate positioning point, and the coordinates of the speakers participating in the meeting were transmitted through the environment control positioning point. If the position is off, it will easily affect the integrity and beauty of the picture. In order to overcome this problem, we have developed new technologies, introduced AI automatic tracking, and improved facial recognition technology to achieve intelligent guidance and automatic focusing. Even when the epidemic hit and everyone wore masks, it once caused difficulties in facial recognition. Poly｜HP also surpassed its peers in overcoming this difficulty in a short period of time. "

Whether it is equipment maintenance or helping customers solve problems, Huahou and the poly team are fully committed. , the precise combat power to successfully shape the brand! Jian Zhaohong said with a smile, "Don't think that the video equipment is all in the air-conditioned conference room! The maintenance of the video equipment of a certain state-owned enterprise is particularly hard! In addition to hundreds of machines, some installation locations are right next to the reservoir. Go to the maintenance center You need to be careful of falling rocks and water on the road, and regular inspections are also required at outlying islands, mountainous areas and other places.”
poly｜Jian Zhaohong, Solution Architect of HP Taiwan, shared that some of the video equipment of a state-owned enterprise is installed near a reservoir, and external locations such as offshore islands and mountainous areas also require regular inspections, demonstrating the brand's strong maintenance capabilities.
In order to serve enterprises across Taiwan, as poly|HP's most experienced agent in Taiwan, Huahou also has service bases in the north, central and south, striving to respond to the immediate needs of customers. Gao Yunqing, senior engineering manager of the southern region of Huahou Co., Ltd. shared, "A leading traditional manufacturing company is headquartered in Kaohsiung. In the past, it used other brands of hardware for many years. When used with poly equipment, the integration process was not smooth, so the cost was high. It takes less time and patience to repeatedly test and research among the platforms and poly equipment selected by the customer to find the best conference solution. Fortunately, Huahou has been a poly agent for more than 30 years and has a complete understanding of the brand's technology and features, helping to improve problems and solve problems.

Compared with the common brands currently on the market, which have diversified businesses and video is only one part of it, Poly has always focused on video equipment. Therefore, when the customer encountered the dilemma of connecting the long-term brand and poly products, we were more able to effectively assist and improve the compatibility issues. This is also the reason why poly was finally selected and adopted by the company! "

The technology that poly focuses on is to allow participants to have a consistent meeting experience. The calculation technology derived from the artificial intelligence behind it has also been adopted by many well-known companies. !”
