3Com has announced its SIP-based Wi-Fi VoIP phone is available
now from channel partners and distributors at a list price of A$535.
The clamshell phone is compatible with VoIP services running
on a wireless LAN (802.11b/g) infrastructure allowing users to roam freely
about the office, or across a campus-wide wireless network.
Supporting VoIP, wireless email and data applications, the 3108
Wireless Phone, will most likely find a home in larger enterprise deployments including
education, government, healthcare and retail, says the company.
Security relies on the latest Wireless Protected Access 2
(WPA2) protocol and advanced encryption. Since the phone is SIP compliant
standards-based IP telephony systems can provide the phone with call control
and applications for delivering robust communication capabilities and secure
voice communications.
 The phone's clamshell flip form factor, colour display, four-way
cursor and personalisation settings, such as ring tones, speed dials and
connectivity settings likens this phone to a standard cell phone and it is
campus-bound employees that are currently using mobile phones to keep in touch
while on the move around the workplace that are most likely to benefit from the
phone's feature set and form factor.
"In today's interactive world, many employees are no longer
spending hours tied to their desks. To be productive, employees have to be
mobile to effectively engage customers, solve problems and collaborate with
partners and other employees," said Brian Allain, vice president and general
manager of 3Com's Data and Voice Business Unit.
"Organisations know the cost savings and business benefits
of VoIP and the flexibility a wireless infrastructure deliver. This phone
brings these capabilities together," he said.
