- Konftel 300IP Supplies Wide Band Sound Quality and Innovative
Features Such as Call Recording on SD Memory Card and Connection to
Wireless Headset - Features Important for Successful Phone Meetings

Konftel AB, Europe’s leading manufacturer of conference phones, today
announced that the Konftel 300IP, their first SIP based conference phone, is
compliant with Avaya Communication Manager 5.1 and SIP Enablement Services
5.0 solutions from Avaya, a leading global provider of business
communications applications, systems and services.

The Konftel 300IP helps businesses to have cost and time effective phone
meetings with wideband sound quality together with innovative features such
as call recording on SD memory card. Really large meeting rooms are not a
problem for the Konftel 300IP since it can be expanded with microphones, a
wireless headset or connected to a PA system. Other unique features include
5-way calling, and the web based configuration of contacts and settings means
that the telephone is easy to operate. The ability to export and import
settings and contacts to the phone book streamlines the installation.

“Surveys indicate that there is an increase in the number of
teleconferences because of the time-saving, economic and environmental
benefits they offer. An increasing number of companies are replacing their
legacy PBX with IP telephony in order to save money and be able to coordinate
communication. For them, the Konftel 300IP will be of great interest,”
concludes Peter Renkel.

The Konftel 300IP is based on SIP (RFC 3261) and is compatible with most
of the market’s SIP platforms. In order to simplify connection, the Konftel
300IP also supports Power over Ethernet.
