"Now customers can bring their mobile devices into the conference room and be assured that they won't cause any interference to important conference calls," Chetner added.
Polycom has aggressively worked to develop solutions that stop the "buzz" and offer unmatched audio quality.
The company's new RF shielding and isolation technologies are currently shipping worldwide and was developed in response to customer feedback.
In a survey of 1,000 Polycom customers, 97 per cent of respondents noticed the buzz when on a call and found it distracting or annoying.
While they understood the buzz was a direct result of having mobile devices in the room, 60 per cent of respondents said it was critical for them to keep their mobile device with them during the meeting in order to stay connected to business.
The problem is so widespread that 70 per cent reported a willingness to upgrade their conference phones if that would solve the problem.
Mobile and wireless advisory firm, Farpoint Group, praised the technology. The company's principal, Craig Mathias, said RF interference, known for being an issue with wireless LANS and other unlicensed devices, affects all kinds of products, wireless or not.
The problem, he said, is widespread and is finally being addressed.
Polycom has built multiple layers of robust protection to help avoid the adverse effects of RF interference.
Moreover, customers upgrading conference phones with the new technology can recycle old phones under a partnership Polycom has formed with Sims Recycling Solutions.
In Australia and New Zealand, electrical and electronic products (e-waste) are increasingly contributing to landfill sites as rapid advances in information technology and commoditisation rates reduce the lifecycles of computers and peripheral materials.
In Australia, the manufacture, use and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment purchased is estimated to account for over 42 million tonnes of greenhouse gases per year.
