How Cisco TelePresence SX20 can work with Skype for business

Hello,

We have a Cisco SX20 in a conference room.

Is it possible and how to make and receive calls from SX20 to Skype for business accounts or from Skype for business to Cisco SX20?

Thanks!

Dimitris

You will need some kind of gateway to do this. The reason is the SX20 (and other hardware endpoints) uses H.264 AVC, and Microsoft uses H.264 SVC. They are not compatible, hence the need for a gateway. Before 2016 the Cisco solution would have been a Lync/Skype (functionally the same in this conversation) gateway, which would have been a VCS/Expressway with a license key on it. Since the Acano acquisition early last year, the best solution now is the former Acano product, now called Cisco Meeting Server.

Thank you for the reply...

What about Skype for business server?

It needs Cisco Call Manager in order to work with SX20?
