"For me, offering a portfolio of solutions that integrate with each other and new technologies, including business applications, ensures our customers benefit from solutions that meet their needs today, and protects their investment by meeting their needs tomorrow."

"Spectralink's Spectralink's managing director of APAC - EMEA sales, Simon Rayne, notes that the handset supports plug-and-play deployment thanks to centralised provisioning. It also supports over-the-air firmware updates and a reduction in endpoint administration and maintenance costs.
