All the IP Phones are optimized for executives, administrative assistants and those working with bandwidth-intensive applications on collocated PCs. Line keys can also be configured as IP PBX features such as BLF, SCA, Intercom, Call Pickup, Call Park and many others. The high resolution screen and the HD voice features provide a high quality visual and authentic audio experience.
