Cisco CallManager has been widely deployed, with over 2.3 million Cisco IP phones installed by the end of 2003. TANDBERG is the technology leader in business-quality video over IP with a broad and complete product line, from the meeting room to the desktop. TANDBERG and Cisco have partnered to bring the first IP-based solutions to market that make video communication as simple as a phone call.

This white paper describes how Cisco CallManager 4.0 and TANDBERG video endpoints work together to provide video users with the full functionality of IP telephony.

- TANDBERG 550 for Cisco CallManager – a set-top video endpoint designed for offices and small meeting rooms, featuring a controllable pan/tilt/zoom camera. The 550 connects to any standard NTSC/PAL monitor. The 550 runs the SCCP protocol.
• Cisco VoIP telephones
- A series of Voice-over-IP telephones running the SCCP protocol
• Infrastructure devices
- Cisco IP/VC MCU – Multipoint Conferencing Unit – a standalone hardware device that provides meet-me and ad-hoc video conferences
- Cisco IP/VC Gateway – a standalone hardware device that provides access to the public ISDN network for interoperability with H.320 video endpoints
