Important for any networking business are conference phones which allow for real time meetings to take place between distant offices and with your business clients overseas. Internet communication is a great way to exchange information, but the delay involved can take hours or even days, and that is not good for business. Individual phone systems are of course a necessity, but they allow for group communication. Conference phones thus give your business a hands free way to effectively conduct its affairs with each member of the group able to be heard. With the most advanced features, popular conference phones meet all your conferencing needs whether your business is big or small. Conference phones facilitate active participation by everybody present at the call and are designed for instant communication from group to group, but you have a lot of brands to choose from and different features as well. Standard wired systems, wireless systems, single vs. multi line capability, audio quality and expandability are just a few of the options you will have to choose from. Whatever your needs, different technological providers compete for your business. First determine the extent of your conferencing needs, your budget, and then select the brand of conference phone that will give you the most for your money. Some popular brands of conference phones include NEC, Avaya, Panasonic and Cisco IP. Spend some time perusing the costs and benefits of each brand before you decide, having an idea beforehand the types of features you need. The NEC MAX conference phone is a tabletop model which possesses full duplex sound and is ideal for small offices of up to 8 people. Full duplex sound means participants can speak and listen simultaneously without cutting out. It is analog wired with speakerphone, echo cancellation, noise cancellation to remove background noises, its 3 microphones offer 360? of range, only activating the microphone closest to the speaker, and up to 3 NEC phones can be added when business grows. Another popular brand is the Polycom conference phone from Avaya phone systems. It too offers full duplex sound, echo and howl reduction, it possesses a 360? range, and is available in both corded and cordless models. Panasonic, an industry leader, offers its own model of conference phones. The KX TS730S model has full duplex and HiFi quality sound, 4 ultra sensitive microphones with noise reduction, and can record up to 120 minutes of conversation. It has a 360? range and can be clearly heard from up to 10 feet away. It also has a 3.5 mm audio out allowing for MP3, wave file, or cassette recording of communication. It can store as many as 100 numbers 32 digits in length and can store up to 50 numbers in its caller ID memory. Lastly, there are Cisco IP conference phones. The Conference Station 7936 is an upgrade from its 7935 model which, in addition to its 3 built in microphones, has external microphone ports so optional microphones can be placed away from the unit, extending the voice range. Offering exceptional voice quality which eliminates echoes and reverberations, it minimizes background noise and lets conference participants move freely about. It has full duplex sound, 360? of range, a single cable design, and it is installed easily. Whatever the size of your business, conference calling is a vital component that facilitates group communication over long distances. Thus, conference phones are an important consideration to make. Know your options and familiarize yourself with the different brands, then pick the phone that is right for your business.
