Benefit |
Hardware |
Industrial design |
• With a trimline, low-profile design, the phone can also be wall-mounted.
• The phone offers easy-to-use and intuitive arrangement of lines, keys, and calls.
• Hold and Redial options on fixed hard keys provide a traditional telephony-like user experience. |
Color options |
• Choice of colors: arctic white or charcoal. Handsets are available internationally as slimline or standard. You can mix and match them in the work environment to better meet your employee needs. |
Desk and wall mountable |
• A foldable footstand makes viewing of and use of the buttons and keys easy in the desk-mount case.
• The phones can be mounted onto the wall without additional Cisco Unified IP Phone 6900 wall-mount kits by working with third-party wallphone wallplates, such as Leviton 4108W-xSP wallplates. |
Co-branding |
• You can include your logo on the Cisco Unified IP Phones 6900 Series endpoints. Cisco has approved third-party vendors to produce the labels.
• One small paper label is inserted under the plastic cover at the co-branding area and shipped together with the phone from the factory. You could use this small paper label to document any information needed, because the Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 does not support a display. |
Acoustic Features |
Codec support |
• The following audio-compression codecs are supported: encode G.711a, G.711u, G.729a, G.729ab and iLBC, decode G.711a, G.711u, G.729, G.729a, G.729ab and iLBC. |
