Grandstream’s IP phones are used around the world by businesses, schools, hotels, and ITSPs. They provide a desktop device that is feature-loaded, intuitive to use, and productivity-focused.

Dealing with pesky cords is a common frustration of conference phones. If you want to place the phone in the middle of a conference room, you either need an electrical outlet located in the middle of the floor, or you need to bring in an extension cord. And then you need to be careful not to trip over it!

That’s why we love the Snom C620 conference phone. It uses DECT 6.0 technology for a completely wireless conferencing experience. Even the detachable microphones are cordless, allowing for more effective collaboration without the frustration factor. In this article, we take a look at this robust and flexible conferencing device.
