Polycom Expands VoIP Phone Line with HD Voice Desktop Models

Polycom, a provider of unified collaborative solutions, has expanded its line of standards-based VoIP desktop phones with three new models, including two enterprise-grade entry-level phones, and a high-performance four-line phone with Polycom HD Voice technology.

“We are listening to customers and delivering VoIP phone solutions that meet their complete range of business telephony needs,” said Sunil Bhalla, senior vice president and general manager of voice communications at Polycom.

According to the company, the SoundPoint IP 330 and 320 are two new entry-level models that feature a full-duplex speakerphone with Polycom Acoustic Clarity Technology for natural, hands-free conversations, a graphical LCD and integrated Power over Ethernet (PoE) support enabling flexible powering options. The SoundPoint IP 320 has a single 10/100 Ethernet port, making it ideal for common areas such as lobbies, hallways, and break rooms as well as various wall-mounted deployments. The SoundPoint IP 550 four-line VoIP desktop phone provides a powerful tool for users requiring an advanced feature set.

The Polycom SoundPoint IP 550 is now available worldwide through Polycom certified channel partners for a MSRP of USD 369. The Polycom SoundPoint IP 330 and 320 phones will be available for order worldwide in April through Polycom certified channel partners for a MSRP of USD 179 and USD 139, respectively.
