Security is essential in communication for government agencies. Our self-hosted, standards-based interop solution ensures secure, seamless multi-vendor video meetings that "just work".



Synergy SKY CONNECT for Government solves interoperability for public agencies between SIP endpoints and Microsoft Teams securely with an on-prem gateway. All data and meeting details are retained within the agency security boundary. 

This award-winning solution supports Microsoft Teams commercial cloud, GCC, GCC-H, and GCC-DoD.  

One Way to Schedule & Join

 

The platform consists of two components

Management Suite

  • Always self-hosted, can be deployed into many environments
  • Integrates with the calendaring system for scheduling 
  • Develop dial string and provides easy join buttons for Cisco and Poly/HP devices 
  • Provision VMRs for Cisco CMS or other self-hosted meeting platforms  
  • Enable white glove features for CMS meetings & for Cisco endpoints connected to any meeting type; provides meeting analytics 

CONNECT for Government

  • Self-hosted in VMWare or Microsoft Azure 
  • When meeting platforms are not directly compatible with the video device, provide media, signaling and encryption translation to make the device compatible 
  • Supports interoperability with any Teams cloud 
  • Leverages the certified native Microsoft web client to provide compatibility between Cisco and Poly SIP devices and Microsoft Teams
  • Supports content sharing, both screen sharing and application sharing like PowerPoint Live!, whiteboards etc.

User pushes the button and the call connects 

green-tick-SS3 If the video endpoint is directly compatible with the meeting type, the call will be a direct dial to the meeting platform 

green-tick-SS3 If the video endpoint is not directly compatible with the meeting type, the call will be routed through the Synergy SKY Connect engine to translate the call and make it compatible. 

green-tick-SS3 All user interactions regardless of meeting platform are now the native user experience of the video device you are using:  sharing content, muting, hanging up etc.

Insights from our VP/GM, Federal Sector on LinkedIn:

Quotation-Symbol-PNG-HD-Image 2We have achieved another milestone with Synergy SKY CONNECT:

👉 First to integrate with Microsoft GCC, GCC-H and GCC-DoD calendars to provide one button to push for Cisco and Poly devices
👉 First to demonstrate SIP to Microsoft GCC-H (IL-4) Teams interoperability
👉 First to demonstrate SIP to Microsoft GCC-DoD (IL-5) Teams interoperability
👉 First to do the previous 3 for any Microsoft Teams meeting, yours and ones you are invited to externally
👉 🎉 🚀 And now first to connect to a Microsoft Teams meeting hosted by an external agency with no CVI, and we connected with a single button *and* shared content from our Cisco devices to their Teams meeting -- this capability is a world's first and unique to Synergy SKY!

👉 And don't forget this means Synergy SKY has the only solution for sharing content either by Screen Sharing to/from a VTC or by Application (Powerpoint Live, Whiteboards, and soon Excel Live, Live Share when available from Microsoft's web client)
👉 And we can do that with any Microsoft Teams meeting, yours or external from commercial up through IL-5
👉 Award-winning. Just a better way to solve interoperability. #SynergySKY #notCVI"Quotation-Symbol-PNG-HD-Image
