Thanks to VoIP technology, it’s the software, not the hardware, that takes a starring role in a business telephony system. And the sophistication of the software can turn even an entry-level endpoint into a full-service telephony device with the robust feature set that in the past was only available on more expensive phones. For micro- and small businesses that want high-end functionality on an entry-level endpoint with a small price tag, Grandstream has you covered with the GXP1610 and GXP1615 1-line IP phones.

TeleDynamics is proud to partner with companies that have a rich history of success and innovation. For this reason, we are pleased to showcase Polycom, a company that has been manufacturing state-of-the-art unified collaboration endpoints and equipment for almost three decades.

This week we take a closer look at Polycom and the impressive solutions that have made it a market leader in conferencing and collaboration.

Companies are continually striving to discover new workplace philosophies that will maximize the productivity of their employees. Google, Apple, and Facebook are just some examples of organizations that are introducing innovative workspace and workplace designs. Most of these are moving away from the traditional “employee tied to a desk” standard by freeing up their staff and providing for mobility within the workspace.

Yealink’s W60B DECT IP Phone Base Station is an ideal ally to aid any small- to medium-sized business in achieving such employee mobility. Since it is easy to deploy, flexible in its functionality, and rich in features, it provides for all the requirements of any internally mobile workforce.

The family of endpoints includes the GXP1760, GXP1780 and GXP1782 models

Telecommunications infrastructure can be one of the biggest costs for a small- to medium-sized company, so it’s critical to find a solution that strikes the right balance between value and cost, while at the same time ensuring scalability so the system can grow along with the business.

IP phones often comprise the bulk of the cost of a business telephone system, so choosing the right endpoints is an important part of the functionality-cost ratio. Developed specifically with growing businesses in mind, Grandstream’s mid-range GXP17xx series IP phones achieve this balance remarkably well.

We had a chance to speak with Tommy Lee, VP of sales at VTech. Before VTech Holdings Limited acquired 100% of the share capital of Snom Technology, GmbH  in a transaction that was completed in November of last year, Tommy was president of Snom, Inc., an American subsidiary of Snom Technology, GmbH.

In this exclusive interview, Tommy speaks candidly about what customers can expect from the two brands post-acquisition.

IP telephony products have been around for over a decade. There are many options to choose from and some may be wondering, what’s next? What new features of an IP telephony endpoint can make it stand out above the rest? Yealink may have answered this question with its new T5 smart media phones.

The T5 smart media phone series includes the T56A, T58A and T58V models.

 UPDATE: Since this article was first published, Yealink has since added additional models to the T5 series: The T53 with built-in Bluetooth and dual-port Gigabit Ethernet; the T53W with built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi; the T54W with full-color, adjustable display; the T57W, with its 7-inch full-color capacitive adjustable touch screen; and the VP59 flagship smart video phone. Any of these can connect up to 4 cordless DECT handsets via the Yealink DD10K DECT dongle. Click here to access our review of the new models.
