Executive Summary We are pleased to announce the release of the Aastra S850i wireless conference phone. Designed specifically for use in conference rooms, boardrooms, and executive offices, the S850i redefines the traditional conference call experience giving users unprecedented freedom with respect to placement and accessibility of the speaker, microphone and handset dialer.
Aastra delivers all of this and more. Designed for use in conference rooms, boardrooms, private offices and wherever else there is a need for conferencing, the wireless architecture of the S850i enables it to be configured for use anywhere it can be connected to the IP network via an Ethernet outlet.
2 Functionality Outstanding flexibility and excellent voice clarity are the core values of the S850i conference phone. The wireless components can easily be placed wherever needed to provide the best conference call experience. 2.1 Overview of Conference Phone Components The product components are designed to optimize table space, and give users the freedom to place the components where required.
Up to 100 contacts can be stored in the Dialer, and the Recent Call List can be activated based on the setting and the user’s preferences. The S850i Dialer is not only designed for call handling, it can also be used for configuring the system settings, and monitoring the S850i conference phone components.
The S850i Speaker has sleek form factor of 4” by 4” which is not constrained by hard wire cabling. An additional Speaker may be purchased if needed (also requires the purchase of an additional Charger Tray).
Two wireless tabletop omnidirectional microphones pick up sound from all directions ensuring everyone participating in the conference call can be heard clearly. The wireless flexibility of microphones allows the S850i conference phone to be configured to meet the needs of small, medium or large conference rooms.
During a conference call, the charger tray can either be placed in a remote location or on the table to provide charge for the battery-powered components. All S850i components can operate in or out of the charger tray during an active call. 9 (22)
