Jabra headquartered in Copenhagen offers the Speak series of USB speakerphones and conference devices.
We have found so many use cases for Cisco IP Phones and have not come across too many situations where they were not well suited, other than being mobile. We have moved to another Cisco Solution for Mobile communications. We have phones all over the place, in offices, in clinical areas, in lobby or public areas, and even in all of our conferencing and meeting spaces.
This is a great solution for video and audio conferences. One device to rule them all. So, if it is an office space meeting room setup, it's very good to use. On the other hand, if you are doing a meeting at a cafe or a coffee shop, it's not recommended as the speaker has a good range and clear sound quality. Everyone around you will be disturbed by your meeting then. In short, Jabra Speak Series 510 is for office setup in small or large meeting rooms. Also, I've seen that it's better to use it in a round shaped table rather than on a long rectangular table.
So while the 6800 range may not offer slick features, it still provides all the core functionality that businesses have come to expect from their VoIP handsets.
Most of the handsets that make up the 6800 series do come with a greyscale display, which may be disappointing if employees are used to working with color VoIP solutions.
We felt that there should be a small remote control type thing that can give the user flexibility of not getting up to manage the Jabra Speak Series 510.
It seems like a longshot but Jabra Speak Series should come with it's own bluetooth and should not depend on a Jabra dongle. I know it's good to sell accessories but this is a suggestion that Jabra should think more about.
We are in south asia (Bangladesh) and getting after sales service here is tough. Jabra can look into it.
i think it's profitable and a good return on investment as a person who make an architecture based on VOIP with IP phones i really enjoyed the process of configuration of the router , the switch and everything and then when i had to test the communication between two phones I've configured it was a joy. Also it's a good phone to receive and give calls to our clients.
Easy to use Functions are self-explanatory Light Efficient I generally have no complaints about them as they get the job done. Just a few employments on maybe graphics or so otherwise they are really great 👍 no complaints... Maybe it is just because is just a user and doesn't implement them or something.
The headset is intuitive and easy to use, with tactile buttons for volume, power, bluetooth, play/pause, ANC, and pass-through audio. It can connect via USB, bluetooth, or USB cable to a computer, and has a high-quality connection to the device, which can stretch up to 20 feet without issue.
Cisco IP Phones support have met our business time to resolution, leading us to very low downtime, and allowed us to interact with our customers quicker and better and provide us with an adequate ROI. Cisco support has been within established SLA and the quality of support has been high leading to a high % of first touch resolutions.
The 8800 series phone is lighter and has a better build quality with all except the flagship phones from Yealink, Mitel, and Avaya. The Yealink S59 and Avaya Vantage have a touch screen interface the make them more akin to the old DX650 which is more high-end than the 8800 currently.
I set up the desk for new hires in our group - it is super easy to plug in this phone and have them up and running.
Having the ability to pre-program speed dial numbers ensures that new hires are able to reach help without having to search for a number.
The ability to program ring tones is great, so if we are in the shared space meeting and we hear a phone ring, we know who's phone is ringing - the meeting can go on without everyone leaving to check.
