Cisco announced that several of its Webex devices will now work with Apple AirPlay.

In addition, the company said users can now add their Webex business number as a second line to their mobile phone. It’s built into the data dialer on the phone. There is nothing to download, no separate app.

The Enterprise Connect audience may have had the biggest reaction when Cisco announced its relationship with Ford and the company’s electric vehicles. Imbedded into the EVs are a 15.5-inch screen and entertainment system called SYNC 4A.

“It’s a flexible system that uses HTML5, like a website, to create new software experience and be updated over the internet with new, modern features as they are released … [Ford] has unlocked the browser experience on SYNC 4A to connect with Webex. And soon, there will be a native Webex app right within the SYNC 4A screen for a seamless, collaborative experience,” according to Cisco.

“You’ve seen some amazing innovations and I can promise you there’s a lot more to come,” said Javed Khan, senior vice president and GM, Cisco Collaboration. “We’ve been working for years on solving some of our toughest problems whether you work from home or the office.”

And in the case of a Ford vehicle, when one is working on the go.
