If you’re in Fort Lauderdale for ITEXPO – February 13-15, at the Broward County Convention Center – then you’re going to want to take some time to visit with the “Official Phone Sponsor” for the event. Representatives from Snom Americas (Booth #711) will be on hand to showcase some of the newest technology in development, including new members of the M900 Series family of devices. The M900 collection features a unique blend of ruggedness and scalability that will allow it to support the needs of just about any type of communications infrastructure. In particular, the indoor version of the phones promote what Snom proudly calls the “DECT Advantage.” DECT – which stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications – allows workers in just about any vertical to capitalize on its unique capabilities for optimizing convenience, minimizing downtime and keeping people connected regardless of the size, scope and capacity of business need. Snom’s “DECT Advantage” includes core tenets such as a purpose-built, long-proven, stable standard; multiple distinguishing features; improved battery functionality; support for many different security protocols; and a unique ability to avoid obstructing the Wi-Fi network, keeping it free for other uses. Of course, while these are some intriguing promises, these elements only begin to tell the story of M900’s Multi-Cell DECT. What exactly is it? Basically, multiple DECT base stations can sync over the air, supporting seamless call handover – and handling – between each of them. This results in increased concurrent calls being fielded over traditional DECT repeaters. The result ends up being greater handset capacity across a smaller space, with added potential to drastically scale the physical range of transmissions, when necessary, for larger-scale installations. Basically, multiple DECT base stations sync over the air, creating a DECT mesh network supporting seamless call handover as the users roam from cell to cell. This provides secure voice quality and an increase in concurrent calls without the restrictions of traditional DECT repeaters. The result ends up being greater handset capacity across a smaller space, with added potential to drastically scale the physical range of transmissions, when necessary, for larger-scale installations.’ Of course, that’s a lot of technical jargon to explain Snom’s greatest promise for the M900: hardware in this series can physically scale virtually as small or as large as needed in order to support the most stringent of custom communications needs for businesses of any size. Two of the more compelling handsets in the M900 Series are the M90 (antibacterial) and M80 (rugged) wireless phones. These devices each offer a two-inch, 240x320 color LCD with three softkeys and IP65 certification for ruggedization. Rumor has it that some devices are even resistant to some harsh chemicals. Plus, each charge of these Bluetoothsupported, paging-capable phones delivers up to 17 hours of talk time (200 hours standby). Other features include support for vibration alerts and alarms, illuminated keyboard and accompanying belt clip to keep the device on your person, which is particularly useful in hospital, warehouse and factory settings. These are just two of the six M900 Series phones – and nine hardware devices in all – that will be on display at ITEXPO24. And this is really just a “mile-high” view of the M900 Series phones and what Snom can provide for virtually any business of any size. For more information, you’ll need to be there in person at Booth #711 of ITEXPO 2024 in Fort Lauderdale for a complimentary, hands-on demonstration – and more detailed explanation – of many of these capabilities. As the “Official Phone Sponsor” of the event, we’re so excited to meet attendees at our booth and share our little secret: Snom technology is unparalleled in the industry for its ability to scale to support the communications needs of any customer out there. o For the latest information on Snom and its new handsets, visit www. snomamericas.com.
