Without changing your current workflow or introducing new plug-ins, CONNECT allows any Cisco video conferencing device to seamlessly connect to different meeting platforms with a single, consistent user experience. Connect to any Teams, Zoom, Webex, Google or FaceTime meeting in one license.
Synergy SKY supports on-premises, cloud and hybrid deployments enabling organizations to decide which model works for them.
We can even help with the transition from one deployment model to the next.
Our easy join experience is compatible with a wide range of Cisco and Poly devices, with support for legacy devices that were deployed before Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google were available.

The only service your Cisco device needs.
Synergy SKY CONNECT uses a patented protocol translation layer to enable Cisco video conferencing systems to communicate across different meeting platforms. This standards-based approach maintains security compliance while extending the functional capabilities of your existing hardware investment, regardless of device age or model.
Synergy SKY CONNECT brings extended functionality to any SIP-based Cisco video conference device through protocol-level integration, enabling One Button to Push (OBTP) and cross-platform meeting connectivity.
Synergy SKY CONNECT functions as a standards-based gateway between your Cisco video endpoints and web meeting platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. The integration works at the network protocol level, connecting different systems without requiring hardware modifications or replacements. For IT departments, this means maintaining your Cisco investment while adding cross-platform compatibility. The solution integrates with your calendar system, allowing meeting details to flow automatically to your Cisco devices for one-button joining.
No. Synergy SKY CONNECT is designed specifically to extend the functionality of your existing Cisco video conferencing equipment without replacement. Our patented CONNECT technology works with both current and legacy Cisco endpoints, including devices that predate platforms like Microsoft Teams and Zoom. This approach maximizes your return on investment while enabling your Cisco systems to connect to modern meeting platforms through standardized protocols.
Synergy SKY CONNECT enables Cisco video conferencing systems to join Microsoft Teams, Zoom, Google Meet, Webex, and Apple FaceTime meetings. Our standards-based gateway allows seamless connectivity across platforms. This means a single Cisco video room can connect to any meeting regardless of the platform being used, with consistent functionality for content sharing and meeting controls.
Synergy SKY CONNECT enables bidirectional content sharing through protocol translation. When someone shares content from a Cisco device, our gateway converts the signal to be compatible with the target platform. Similarly, when content is shared in Microsoft Teams (including PowerPoint Live and whiteboarding), CONNECT makes this visible on the Cisco endpoint. This technical integration happens at the network level, without requiring additional software on the Cisco device.
