Panasonic – Exclusive insights into the future of SIP

Telephony is all about hearing, and being heard. High quality, clear audio is vital for effective telephone communications. Using high quality, wideband codecs is necessary, but not sufficient to guarantee clear, intelligible conversations. The whole signal path must be designed with quality in mind. Moreover, the KX-UT series supports the wideband G.722 codec on all models, but that isn’t enough. In order to provide “best in class” audio quality, Panasonic has designed the entire SIP terminal range with enhanced loudspeakers and carefully crafted acoustic chambers to ensure a wide frequency response, while advanced filter design ensures that every word is reproduced faithfully. The outcome is clear, natural sounding voice reproduction, even under poor network conditions. This excellent audio quality is maintained whether you use the built-in handset, the high quality speakerphone or an external wireless headset such as the Plantronics Voyager range – the KX-UT series ensures fewer misheard calls, less repetition and better communication. Panasonic KX-UT series SIP terminals – Make yourself heard.
