Konftel Launches IP conference Phone

Konftel is launching the Konftel 300IP, a SIP-based conference phone with a number of innovative functions. The 300IP makes it possible to make local five-way calls and ring pre-programmed groups, as well as record and store calls on a memory card. By creating user profiles, personal contacts and settings can be saved. The phone is equipped with Konftel’s patented OmniSound 2.0 sound technology, which provides crystal-clear sound with wideband.

“Surveys indicate that we will see an increase in the number of teleconferences in the future because of the time-saving, economic and environmental benefits they offer. An increasing number of companies are replacing their switchboards 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 can be connected to either an IP PBX system or direct to a VoIP service provider. The phone 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.

The Konftel 300IP have a built-in call recording function on SD memory card and it is the first IP conference phone on the market to offer the possibility of making local five-way calls. The phone is also equipped with a conference guide that makes it possible to call pre-programmed groups with a few simple pushes of a button. A web-based configuration of contacts and settings means that the telephone is easy to operate, and the ability to export and import settings and contacts to the phone book streamlines the installation. With the Konftel 300IP, it is also possible to create personal user profiles that provide access to contacts and settings when the user logs in.

The Konftel 300IP can be adapted for large meeting rooms, with expansion microphones, an external wireless headset and speaker system can also be connected. The telephone is future-proof, as it can be upgraded with smart functions.

“We are very pleased to be able to broaden our product range with one of the market’s most advanced IP conference phones. Now we can offer a telephone that combines all the benefits of an IP telephone with our innovative functions” comments Peter Renkel, CEO at Konftel.

The Konftel 300IP will be available from mid December 2008
