Polycom IP550 four line desktop IP Phone
The Polycom IP 550 desktop phone is a four-line SIP phone that delivers calls of unprecedented richness and clarity and supports a comprehensive range of cutting-edge features. The SoundPoint IP550 desktop phone features Polycom’s revolutionary HD Voice™ technology, which bringslife-like richness and clarity to every call.1,5 Polycom HD Voice technology incorporates wideband audio for over twice the voice clarity; Polycom’s patented Acoustic Clarity Technology for crystal-clear, noise- and echo-free sound, plus best-in-class system design for high-fidelity, faithful voice reproduction.
In addition, the Polycom IP550 has a backlit 320 x 160-pixel graphical grayscale LCD, shared call/bridged line appearance, busy lamp field (BLF), presence, buddy lists and XHTML micro-browser for Web applications.
The Polycom IP 550 is the obvious next step from Polycom’s benchmark IP phone the IP 501. In addiing the HD Voice capability, backlit display (finally!!!), and XHTMl capabilities, the Polycom IP550 is poised for the next stage of VoIP calling. With an MSRP of $369.99, the phone is certainly pricey, but will probably be found in the $339.99 range , “on the streets.” For that price and with HD Voice, not widely support, you are best to wait for other options, unless of course, you are working with an unlimited budget.
