IP Phones

They say variety is the spice of life. Well this expression can certainly be applied to the IP phone marketplace. The sheer number of phones that are available on the market span the breadth of cost, functionality, target user, technology and more. A quick glance at the list comprising this month’s roundup will underscore the fact that there are many options to consider including price, scalability, features, network connectivity, ease of use, and so on. Some IP phones are designed with the latest cutting edge features such as video calling, while others primarily target users seeking wireless functionality. Of course the vast majority of IP phones are designed for enterprise users who are looking for ever more productivity boosting features from their desktop phones.

In the interest of bringing you a more comprehensive list of available phone options we have simply listed the manufacturer and Web site here. As always, before making any purchasing decision, consult with your reseller or whoever is responsible for installing and maintaining your phone system. Ask about the different options available to use with the phone system. Compare features and cost, and see what benefits help you derive more productivity out of your workforce. Most importantly, conduct a side-by-side test of your top choices to see which IP phones work best for you, in your environment. Only then can you be sure you’re making the best possible decision. Good luck! IT
