The Cisco Room Phone is more than a conference phone, it’s designed for collaborative meetings. Users gain a touchless experience with proximity pair and join, and never need to enter a phone number or meeting code ever again. Plus, the HD audio, echo cancellation and noise reduction aim to allow remote meeting attendees to hear the voices of those in the huddle space clearly.N/A

Good scenario: Medium rooms with requires a good coverage of sound where people are located 3 meters far from the device works very good. Less appropriate: areas where using wired extension microphone are no allowed. This is could be a challenge if you have a table without holes to pass cabling through.

This product is well suited for the price. It brings a lot of sound quality for the audio conferences and also allows to join Webex Meetings direct through the device. The integration with Webex Calling is simple, you can set up the Cisco Room Phone within minutes using a 16 digit activation code.

We have not had any issues with the device, but expect support to be as good as Cisco always has been for us.

I've use a lot of the Webex Room devices and the Room Phone is a great transition for the traditional conference phone to a modern UI and platform with Control Hub integration. Like all the other major OS platforms out there, the push to unify the user interface has some real advantages and I think that Cisco is accomplishing that goal here.
