The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace solution is the industry-leading on-premises audio conferencing solution. Users can 

connect to meetings from their desktop, PC-based, or mobile phones. User- and moderator-controlled functions, such 

as muting phones and private breakout discussions, help provide effective virtual meetings. The solution provides 

enhanced voice quality over any network with wideband audio and low-bit-rate codecs. 

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace conferencing provides a fully integrated audio and video architecture that results in an 

effective and easy-to-use video experience. The solution supports a wide range of video standards, codecs, and 

video resolutions to help ensure broad endpoint connectivity. You can dial a single number to attend a meeting and 

the system connects you to audio or video resources based on the capabilities of your endpoint. The system also 

knows your phone number and can automatically connect you to your meeting when you dial in from a recognized 

phone or client. Simplifying and automating attendance means that meetings start on time and frequent conferencing 

frustrations are eliminated. 

Two audio and video deployment models are supported. You can deploy the audio and video application software 

and media server on a on a single media convergence server (MCS) or you can deploy application software on an 

MCS and use the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 3515 or MeetingPlace 3545 Media Server. The hardware media 

servers provide greater scalability and more advanced video capabilities, such as continuous presence, video 

transcoding, and connection-speed transrating. The single-MCS deployment option provides basic video switching 

capabilities where only the active speaker can be seen. 

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace 8.0 can be deployed as a standalone audio and video solution or it can be integrated with 

Cisco WebEx meeting applications. The solution components are tightly integrated so users experience the simplicity 

of having a single point of setup, attendance, and meeting control across audio, video, and web conferencing. The 

solution provides the flexibility to set up and attend conferences from Cisco Unified MeetingPlace or Cisco WebEx 

user interfaces. Authentication is simplified with single sign-on across the solutions. From the Cisco WebEx meeting 

interface you can dial out to your phones to attend, see who is speaking, and access voice controls, such as muting 

participants and locking the meeting (Figure 1).
