ORLANDO, Fla., March 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Enterprise
Connect -- The Enterprise division of Alcatel-Lucent (Euronext
Paris and NYSE: ALU) is today introducing a new range of Premium
DeskPhones that confirm communication continues to be at the center
of the work process.
Communication remains essential in business and often it's a
voice on the line that helps business move forward. Studies show
that seventy percent of employees still spend four to five days a
week working from a desk using "traditional" tools to
communicate.
The modern design of the new Alcatel-Lucent Premium DeskPhones
signifies the evolution of the deskphone, providing high quality
audio and desirable, practical features giving employees a high
quality communications experience. Available with IP or digital
technologies, the new Premium DeskPhones come with several
ergonomic enhancements enabling users to:
- Easily access enterprise communications through a modern and
elegant device
- Use superb quality wideband audio through the handset or
hands-free mode
- Leverage the optimized technology and always on, advanced
connectivity
A user's daily business tasks are enhanced by the improved
wideband audio quality such that the caller sounds like they are
seated in the same room, with no compromise on the clarity in
either direction. The integrated alphabetic keyboard, backlit
display, dedicated function keys and user-friendly navigator enable
users to reach out faster to contacts and efficiently control
communications.
Flexibility with integrated Bluetooth technology, along with a
set of accessories including handsets and headsets, makes the new
phones ideal for today's business environment. The deskphones also
offer future proof, secured capabilities such as IPV6 ready and
embedded software encryption, all of which facilitate the user's
daily business tasks.
The adjustable and robust foot stands means the Premium
DeskPhones adapt to being used throughout the business, whether on
a desk, in a meeting room, on a reception desk or even wall
mounted.
These elegant devices complement and leverage all the rich
telephony capabilities of the Alcatel-Lucent OpenTouch Suites for
mid-to-large enterprises (MLE) and small-medium businesses (SMB)
with over 500 communication features.
Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise is introducing five versatile models
to meet the variety of needs of SMBs and mid-sized and large
businesses with features and quality at a cost-effective price.
The IP Premium DeskPhone models are:
- The 8068 Premium DeskPhone, the 8038 Premium
DeskPhone, and the 8028 Premium DeskPhone and offer rich
IP communication, embed two Gigabit Ethernet Energy Efficient
ports, one of which supports power over Ethernet.
The Digital Premium DeskPhone models are:
- The 8029 Premium DeskPhone and the 8039 Premium
DeskPhone and offer rich digital communication.
The new phones, available in April
2014, are sold globally through Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise
channel partners.
