snom technology AG, developer and manufacturer of voice-over-IP phones, has launched the DECT (News - Alert) telephone version of the snom m9, which the company claims is the world's first cordless IP phone that can be integrated with the snom OCS edition in a Microsoft (News - Alert) Office Communications Server 2007 R2 environment.

 

Officials with snom technology said that the snom m9 offers unified communications features such as status display of contacts, simultaneous signaling of incoming calls on the desktop and the phone itself and the snom Active Directory Search by name or phone number in the Office Communications Server.

 

Company officials said that with the snom m9, business and consumer users of VoIP can take advantage of the comfort and flexibility offered by wireless telephony.

 

'The snom m9 includes all the high-quality features and security standards customers have come to expect from our industry-leading VoIP handsets, with the added flexibility and convenience provided by cordless telephony,' said Nelly Monkhouse, U.K. sales manager for snom, in a statement.

 

Company officials said that with optimal voice quality, up to 100 hours of stand-by time, three-way conferencing, speakerphone and caller identification of phone numbers and images, the snom m9 is well-suited to the high demands of modern business communication.

 

It also includes those features that users have come to expect from their mobile phones such as calendar, alarm, polyphonic ringtones and individual background images.

 

The snom m9 also features an integrated USB port to allow easy integration of web applications, and supports the highest security standards with a pre-installed X.509 certificate and support for TLS and SRTP.
According to company officials, the range of the snom m9 is 50 meters within any building and up to 300 meters outside depending on the construction and infrastructure of the building.

 

A single base supports the operation of up to nine handsets and supports up to four simultaneous conversations.
