Over the past few months a number of new IP conference phones have hit the market, giving you more choice.
For many this has been an utter delight, whereas some of you have mentioned some confusion over which conference phones are really pressing all of the right buttons.
Having recently read an article by Garrett Smith for VoIP Supply our thoughts on what really makes a great conference phone have been confirmed, although we have a few favourites of our own.
This is our current top 4:
Polycom IP 6000
Polycom has always been at the top of its game and this particular model comes with a microphone picking up your conversation, up to 12 foot away – a 20% greater range than previous generations. 14Khz for high-fidelity calls and strong, robust SIP software making advanced call handling and security a piece of cake.
Avaya 4690 IP
This stylish Avaya conference phone comes with a whole host of features including support for SNMP, DHCP client and a manually configurable IP address. As the phone technology moves forward you also have the option to upgrade and download new software – so that your phone moves with you and the times.
Polycom SoundStation IP 7000
Like the Polycom IP6000, the IP7000 has a huge microphone range, but this time we are looking at around 20 foot. Again, strong, robust with the most advanced SIP software in the industry. It speaks for itself.
Polycom Nortel IP2033 Conference Phone
This conference phone offers you a full duplex, hands free conference phone – ideal for your desktop.
