PoE of Yealink W52P Purifies Your Working Environment

The Yealink IP DECT Phone W52P has been designed specifically to meet demanding criteria. Yealink has invested extensively in refining an advanced Power over Ethernet system that supports all other high-level W52P specifications. The W52P is a new model from Yealink, the first in the Yealink DECT IP Phone range.  It is essential that modern IP phone systems can be installed quickly and easily to maximise network coverage with minimum inconvenience. Energy-efficiency is also extremely important for businesses and organisations that are committed to high environmental principles and make every effort to reduce their “carbon-footprint” by limiting greenhouse gas emissions. PoE is a standardised system for passing electrical power and the flow of clear telephony data along a single, flexible, easy-to-extend cabling system. Although power and information actually pass through different sets of wires, from the user perspective one slim cable link is all that is needed to route phones throughout a building complex, office block or entire production site. There are a number of distinct benefits. Yealink PoE systems provide a consistent quality telephony experience that reaches out from one single central hub to remote IP phones that can be up to 100 metres away. Crucially, power does not decrease over these longer distances, which makes PoE a more appropriate technology than USB (Universal Serial Bus) that only allows short cable lengths carrying low power. From a convenience standpoint, there is...

Sangoma Releases High-Density Telephony Board for Digital Span Monitoring

Sangoma has announced the availability of its T116 16-Span Tapping Board. The highest density board on the market, the T116 provides passive high-impedance tapping of digital telephony spans. The T116 board, which is available immediately from Sangoma partners around the world, provides telephony solution developers with a highly reliable and dense platform for building call monitoring, recording, logging, fraud detection and security applications.  With its support for up to eight digital spans on a single board, the T116 has double the capacity of any other passive tapping solution on the market. It is built on Sangoma’s highly regarded PCI Express interface board technology to ensure broad compatibility with commercial servers,” said Simon Horton, Sangoma director of product management. “Developers of call recording and logging solutions have been limited in scaling their products due to the lack of high-quality and affordable boards that are compatible with open source and proprietary operating systems. The T116 breaks down these barriers and provides a scalable and reliable product that enables innovation.” The T116 board is part of the Sangoma Asterisk Card range and employs high-impedance circuitry to ensure that there is no disruption or degradation of the communications signals on the digital spans. This passive monitoring approach eliminates the need to insert a device that terminates and regenerates every call. Designed to monitor up to 240 individual calls, the T116 board is developed...
