What is Cisco Room Phone?

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.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Our company uses audio conference rooms to conduct important business with foreign investors, and good audio quality is essential for success. In the past, we purchased AV integration systems to help improve our audio and sound systems, but we were never able to deliver the quality we desired.
AV systems have always had problems and do not deliver the quality we desire. The Cisco Room Phone brought great innovation and simplification to our needs, an elegant product with incredible speakerphone quality impressively. With a single device, we were able to solve our problems and significantly reduce the number of unnecessary AV components we had.

Nossa empresa utiliza salas de conferência de áudio para fazer negócios importantes com investidores estrangeiros, ter uma boa qualidade de áudio é primordial para o sucesso. No passado compramos sistemas de integração AV para ajudar a melhorar nossos sistemas de áudio e som, porém nunca conseguimos nos entregar a qualidade que desejamos.
