Polycom 8400 Series Arrives

By thetelecomreseller.com

Last fall Polycom made a major announcement: the 8400 series. The product was announced at HIMMS, an event for healthcare technology buyers. And as May concludes, the phones are here and shipping, thus allowing companies to have budgeted the product last fall to take delivery now.

The 8400 series are voice-over-Wi-Fi handsets designed for emerging applications such as barcode medication administration (BCMA), inventory control, equipment monitoring, and more. These new devices enable web browsing, IM, and boasts an XML API for customized applications, and two models have integrated barcode readers. The SpectraLink 8400 series will initially consist of three handsets: the 8440, 8450 with 1D barcode capability and the 8452 with 2D barcode capability.The phones have been Beta tested in seventeen sites, and have proven themselves in demanding heathcare and other settings.

While loaded with features, the phones offer an important innovation for IT managers: it restores control. Now the administration can curb “cyber loafing” and other abuses by limiting the phones functions to job functions.

In this podcast, Polycom Director of UC Global Alliance discusses the 8400 and Polycom’s commitment to making the 8400 and other Polycom products fully interoperable with Avaya.
