These days, if a piece of technology does just one thing, we think it is antiquated. The issue is, that when something tries to do many things, it oftentimes ends up failing at its most basic tasks. The Polycom Trio manages to avoid this dilemma and do three things perfectly at the same time. Bloody well, if I may say so myself.

Great, so you’ve told us about this great solution, but what exactly does it do?
