Aastra Launches Wireless Conference Phone - New Levels of Freedom and Flexibility for Audio and Videoconferencing
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) July 01, 2013 -- Aastra, a leading company at the forefront of the enterprise communication market, has launched a wireless conference phone, ideal for meeting rooms, executive offices and wherever there is a need to gather team members remotely to collaborate together.
The new Aastra S850i Wireless conference phone combines innovative technology with ergonomic design, transforming the experience by allowing unparalleled freedom.
Wireless Freedom
Since the speaker, omnidirectional microphones and handset are all wireless, professionals can enjoy complete flexibility to place these components wherever they want in a room, helping them to optimize sound quality and use it in a way that best suits their needs.
With excellent acoustic echo cancellation, Aastra’s new, high performance conference phone uses DECT technology between the microphones, speaker and base station, providing crystal clear sound quality and secure communications. Aastra’s S850i also blocks out any mobile phone interferences.
Highly Versatile for all Conferencing Needs
With flexibility and excellent voice clarity at its core, the Aastra S850i is highly versatile: Aastra’s S850i can be used as a standalone audio conference solution or can easily be connected to a video conferencing solution such as the Aastra BluStarTM for Conference Room. In addition to connecting to Aastra’s video conferencing solutions, the S850i can also be the speaker and microphone for Bluetooth enabled devices (mobile phones, DECT handsets and even laptops with the BluStar for PC Client).
Private calls can be made from the handset and, using a one touch toggle, can be switched to speaker mode to enable more participants in the room to join the call.
According to Simon Beebe, Vice President of Product Line Management at Aastra, “In a world where businesses must remain in touch with remote workers, global teams, partners and customers, audio and video conferencing have become important productivity tools that enable organizations to communicate and collaborate more efficiently and effectively. Making sure that everyone can be clearly heard during these calls is critical. Aastra’s new wireless conference phone not only allows you to hear and be heard effortlessly but also delivers a new level of freedom. It is also cost effective, as it can be used for both audio and video conferencing.”
The Aastra S850i includes a wireless speaker, two omnidirectional microphones to ensure that all participants can be heard, an easy-to-use handset with dial pad, a wireless base unit and a charger tray. A wearable microphone and a second speaker can be purchased separately to allow presenters to move freely around a room and provide even large room coverage options.
This new wireless conference phone is SIP-based, compatible with Aastra communication servers (Aastra 400 and 5000, Clearspan® and MX-ONE®) as well as other third party SIP compatible call managers.
The Aastra S850i is available from June 2013. For further information, please visit http://www.aastrausa.com/aastra-s850i.htm
