Seamlessly Connecting SIP Devices to Modern Meeting Platforms
Synergy SKY CONNECT is a patented interoperability gateway that bridges SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) and Web/WebRTC standards for video, audio, and data. This innovative solution enables standards-based video conferencing endpoints—like Cisco, Poly, and Lifesize devices—to join web-compatible meeting platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, and FaceTime with ease.
By creating a bridge between otherwise incompatible protocols like SIP/H.323 and WebRTC/HTML, CONNECT delivers a seamless and consistent user experience. Users on SIP devices enjoy the same functionality as those joining through web browsers, no matter the meeting platform.
The SIP and WebRTC/HTML protocols are both standardized. WebRTC is open and is supported by Apple, Google, Microsoft and Mozilla, amongst others. SIP is an open standard ratified by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). Furthermore, Synergy SKY is the only interop provider certified for integrating with Cisco video endpoints.
Why Standards Matter
CONNECT ensures compatibility with both emerging and legacy meeting platforms by adhering to open standards. As all modern platforms—from Microsoft Teams to Google Meet, Zoom, Webex, and beyond—are built to be accessible from web browsers, this approach ensures that Synergy SKY CONNECT will remain a future-ready solution for video conferencing needs.

“Synergy SKY CONNECT retains the video meeting workflow that users expect from their native service and does so without the compromises of cloud video interoperability, CVI (...) [It] does not introduce new workflows to users, which drive adoption, utilization, and, ultimately, ROI.”
