The vendors are LG Nortel, GN Netcom-Jabra, Plantronics, Polycom, Samsung, Tatung, Asus, Vitelix, and NEC. Mark Deakin, unified comms group product manager for Microsoft in the UK, said the companies will launch their devices to coincide with the launch in the third quarter of this year of the next generation of LCS, which is when it officially becomes Office Communications Server.
