Polycom IP Phones
sipXecs supports the full lineup of Polycom's SIP phones. Polycom's standards-based desktop IP telephones provide many features, excellent sound quality, and offer hands-free full-duplex speakerphone technology.
Certification Status
The Polycom SoundPoint IP, SoundStation IP, and VVX model lines are all certified with sipXecs.
Currently Certified Models
Discontinued Models
The following models have been discontinued by Polycom. It is not recommended to use them for new installations.
End of Life Models
The following models have been declared End of Life by Polycom and are not recommended for use in any sipXecs installations due to firmware limitations:
Attendant Console
The Polycom Attendant Console Expansion Module is a great addition to the IP 650 and IP 670 phones. With each expansion module attached, the Polycom IP 650 / IP 670 phones are able to support an additional 14 lines or speed dial keys, or monitor the line state of 14 other phones using a feature called Busy Lamp Field (BLF). Each IP 650 / IP670 phone can support up to three expansion modules. The phone subscribes to the state of a line on another phone and displays that state using the indicator light next to the line key. sipXecs implements a centralized presence server that supports BLF with firmware version 3.1.x. sipXecs version 4.2 will incorporate Bridged Line Appearances for even greater productivity enhancement.
HD Voice
sipXecs enables better voice quality because media streams are always routed peer-to-peer along the shortest path and not through the PBX controller as is the case with most other systems. This allows full support for higher bandwidth codecs such as Polycom's HD Voice (using G.722 wide-band codec) without imposing any restrictions on how many calls can be active at any given time. Polycom HD Voice delivers over twice the clarity of ordinary phone calls for life-like, vibrant conversations. The difference is so astounding, you will never want to go back to regular phone calls. sipXecs release 3.6 and up supports HD Voice.
