Polycom has expanded its leadership in voice over Wi-Fi products with the introduction of the next-generation Polycom SpectraLink 8400 series handsets for wireless voice and data applications. The new series features a new standards-based application platform, integrated barcode reader, and a wide range of interoperability.With the SpectraLink VoWi-Fi telephones, people can stay in contact and access important data from any location in the boundaries of the enterprise Wi-Fi network. They are designed to help productivity and responsiveness, while meeting communication needs for healthcare, industrial, and retail markets, all with a low cost of ownership.
"For the small and specialized market of voice over WLAN, the 8440 moves Polycom out in front of the pack as the first such device that supports an 802.11n interface," says Michael Finneran, UCStrategies UC Expert. "We have yet to see an 802.11n-capable WLAN handset from Cisco, Siemens, Motorola, Ascom, or Vocera."
Finneran adds, "The 8450 model which incorporates a bar code reader is the more interesting development as it could allow users, particularly in the health care vertical, to package voice with other CEBP applications on the device and could put Polycom’s success on a different trajectory."
The Polycom SpectraLink 8400 series has an open application platform and browser capabilities designed to support enterprise, as well as industry-specific applications, such as hospitals contacting nurses and doctors, and inventory control for retail businesses. It's designed with the input from multitudes of customers to have a user-friendly interface and broad accessory support, while the total cost of ownership is up to 33% lower than competing solutions.
