AUST is a network of campuses, centers and offices based in different Emirates across the UAE. Implementation of the Polycom View station 128, Polycom View station FX and Polycom Gateway 3000 solutions has benefited the University in a number of ways, by eliminating the time and hassle associated with physical traveling, and expanding its knowledge base across the region.

FVC has been providing AUST with Polycom videoconferencing equipment as well as its services for more than 2 years now, connecting teachers and students across its campuses, and providing enhanced professional development through meetings and training. Universities can now save a major portion of their student and faculty travel expenses.

Commenting on the success of the technology, Mohamed Salman, Information Technology Director, AUST, said

'Although our main vocation at Ajman University is education and research, we are devoted to investing in real time, world class facilities, technologies and services beneficial to our students and staff. Video conferencing has proved to be a key element in linking all the entities of the University network despite the physical distance.'



'We are pleased to be associated with FVC and Polycom as the quality of systems and services provided are excellent. We look forward to working with them more closely in the near future to help us bridge the way for a new generation of students.' Mr. Salman further added.

Adding to this, K.S. Parag, Regional Director, FVC said, 'Video conferencing in the Middle East has come a long way in recent years, and Polycom has been at the forefront ever since. The educational sector is a prime focus for us and we are confident in providing Ajman University with avant-garde solutions and services to complement their level of proficiency in the Middle East educational field. Through the launch of Polycom's first ever Arabic User Interface for video conferencing, we hope to further strengthen our relationship with them.'
