ShoreTel has announced a six-line IP telephone, the ShorePhone IP 565g,
which is equipped with a high-resolution color display, Gigabit
Ethernet connectivity and new Bluetooth headset integration.
The IP phone is targeted at executives, busy secretaries and admin
assistants. Along with support for six lines and Bluetooth headsets,
the 565g adds
greater flexibility and comfort for callers who spend a lot of time on
the telephone, says the company.
ShoreTel says it is easy-to-use and as part of the company's unified
communications solution, seamlessly integrates communications with
business processes.
ShoreTel says the use of colour displays consumer electronics has set
user expectations higher than a mono display can meet, but enterprise
users will find be satisfied with tthe 565g with its high-resolution
backlit colour screen which provides easy access to call information
such as Caller ID, missed calls and voicemail indicators.
The built-in Gigabit Ethernet switch eliminates the need for multiple
network drops to workspaces by extending full Gigabit speeds to the PC
connected to the IP telephone's Ethernet switch. The ShorePhone IP 565g
complements the mid-range ShorePhone IP 265 color telephone, giving
customers color display options across the ShoreTel product line.
"ShoreTel continues to broaden its unified communications solutions to
help businesses streamline their business processes and achieve the
highest levels of employee productivity," said Steve Timmerman, vice
president of marketing at ShoreTel. "With the unique combination of
features in the ShorePhone IP 565g, ShoreTel has set a new standard for
usability and manageability, and created a sophisticated telephone to
help the most demanding users stay productive."
The ShorePhone IP 565g is a high-performance telephone with
crystal-clear audio quality, featuring a wideband audio codec that
supports seven full octaves of human sound.
A high fidelity, full-duplex speakerphone also delivers exceptionally
clear audio. Like all ShorePhone IP telephones, the IP 565g simplifies
telephony tasks including call transfer, conferencing, call pick up,
call parking and intercom, even in multi-site enterprises.
Plug-and-play installation, with automatic discovery and centralized
management via ShoreWare Director, makes administration fast and easy.
As new software releases become available, the IP telephone can be
automatically updated via network downloads.
The ShorePhone IP 565g is available now in the U.S. Canada, Australia
and EU countries and requires the latest ShoreTel system software
release - ShoreTel 7.5. Pricing is US $599, 480 euros, UK 310 pounds.
