Polycom Soundstation 2 Conference Phone (For Analogue Phone Systems Only)

Product Information

These in-demand features have appealed to both business and home users, with VoIP phones being embraced by both corporate and remote work users. Outside of the office, B2C and home IP phones have becoming increasingly popular of late. Integration: How well will the conference phone work with the existing tools that your business uses, such as video cameras for conferencing, and microphones? Can you add extra functionality to your phone through API and SDK solutions? Creative technology: As technology continues to evolve with the rise of things like IoT and 5G, conference phones may become even more advanced. Some vendors are already experimenting with bringing AR and VR technology into the meeting room. Businesses may even be able to integrate their conference phones with holographic projectors, offering a more futuristic collaborative experience.

The Cisco 7832 offers a sleek, modern design that fits in nicely with today’s more contemporary offices. It’s ideal for your small conference room, as well as for private office desks, such as those of the executives. Most conference phones in the 2020s have full-duplex support as standard which allows conversation to flow freely in both directions. Be wary of older devices with half-duplex support which, while allowing two-way conversation, is limited on a ‘one at a time’ basis. This gives a similar effect to a walkie talkie, rendering half-duplex systems unsuitable by today’s standards. The cost of a Polycom solution depends on the model you choose. Prices can range from cheap to expensive, so it pays to do your research to determine the best option for your business. For portable conference phones, pay attention to their connectivity. Some models require a wired Ethernet connection, while others have support for Wi-Fi. High-end models add cellular network support so that you can use a SIM card for more consistent connection. Monitoring your callHowever, although it is possible to use an ordinary landline or smartphone to access VoIP solutions, that does not mean that businesses and employees will be able to receive an optimum service. The kinds of handsets reviewed above are specifically designed to work with VoIP solutions and have particular hardware features that make them well suited to some of the modern innovations that are generally included with VoIP platforms. RingCentral’s user-friendly audio and video conferencing solutions work well for small, medium and large businesses, which makes RingCentral Forbes’ choice for the best overall conference calling service.

Lastly, consider other options and features that might prove useful. Would it be of any use if your conference phone could double as a speaker? Is it of benefit to ensure even tech newbies can use it, or is your business populated with IT-savvy workers who could handle a less intuitive but more advanced system? Would it help if the conference phone could record your meeting automatically?Konftel ZTI: Konftel Zero Touch Installation, support for auto-provisioning with certificate management.
