SX 20 SETP

Hi

I have a situation where i want to deploy 2 x SX10 at Hq and 10 x SX20 at branch offices. These are all supposed to participate in conferences. I read that cisco VCS is EoL. Am thinking of using UCS for call control using BE6K running BE6M-M5-K9 appliance. Which licenses should i order? Or is there a guide i can use, apart from BE6K ordering guide which is not very clear when it comes to video conference solutions cause there are not examples.

Does it mean that i have to order Cisco UWL Meetings license.

Expressway Core has effectively replaced VCS Control (and  Expressway Edge replaced VCS Expressway). You can deploy CUCM if you want, but for a small deployment you can just use the new Expressway devices, they will do what VCS could do for you. 

As for your endpoint choices - do you already own the SX10/20's you are planning on? SX20's have been end of sale since last year, and I would guess SX10 will go end of sale this year. Room Kit Mini and Room Kit will give you better all around performance than the SX10/20 (respectively). Built in speakers, speaker tracking, all at a better price than either of the SX's when you factor in that they didn't include the Touch 10 and the newer codecs do. 

Hope this helps!
