Hmm!
Could be good. Could be bad. Time will tell.

I exchanged emails with Obihai today. They're all very happy about this, as it will enable the combined company to provide more products, better documentation and support, and greater market share for future company stability and growth. It's bad news for their competition. ;)
There is no impact to any of the current OBi products from an operational or warranty perspective.
Personally, I've used Polycom conference and speaker phones for decades, and they're outstanding products. I see this as very good news for both companies.

It would certainly be nice to have better documentation and support.........especially on this forum.
Can't help but wonder if CEO Jan Fandrianto is going stick around after the acquisition, though. He hasn't in the past.

That's glass-half-empty speculation. If you look at that article, he spun off the technology to Sipura, and then started Obihai to continue developing and selling SIP VoIP products. He hasn't been like the typical "serial entrepreneur", who jumps from one start-up to another, different type of venture.
