Snom recently launched the M253 and M256 solutions — two powerful single-cell DECT systems that make professional business communication simple, flexible and secure across multiple sectors. Both products are based on the M250 DECT base station and are designed as ready-to-use communication solutions for modern and dynamic working environments.
Thanks to Power over Ethernet (PoE), secure TLS and SRTP encryption and remote management functions, the systems can be seamlessly integrated into existing IT and communication infrastructure and centrally administered.
As single-cell DECT solutions, the M253 and M256 are ideal for smaller sites and branch locations such as medical practices, restaurants or retail stores, offering reliable coverage with minimal installation effort. The base station provides a range of up to about 50 yards indoors and roughly 328 yards outdoors and supports up to ten handsets from Snom’s M5x series. With support for up to eight simultaneous calls, the solutions are particularly suitable for environments where availability and mobility are essential.
With the two systems, Snom is addressing a variety of requirements in everyday working life, making them suited to multiple sectors.
- Snom M253 combines the M250 base station with the new M53 handset, developed specifically for professional office and service environments. It features a large, easy-to-read color display as well as an ergonomic keypad layout, and supports HD audio for clear voice transmission. With up to 12 hours of talk time and up to 120 hours of standby time, the M53 is designed for long working days. Its robust build, antibacterial housing and intuitive menu navigation ensure clear communication even in dynamic working environments. The handset is powered by standard AAA batteries, making operation particularly cost-effective and easy to maintain.
- Snom M256 is aimed at more physically demanding working environments, such as workshops, warehouses, production facilities or outdoors. Here, the M250 base station can be paired with the durable M56 handset, which is IP67-certified. The handset’s housing is dustproof and water-resistant, ensuring reliable operation even where devices are regularly exposed to dirt, moisture or heavy use.
The M250 base station supports all DECT IP devices in Snom’s M5x series, enabling flexible adaptation to different types of workplace. In addition to the M53, M55 and M56 handsets, the popular M58 DECT desk phone can also be used wirelessly with the M250 base station. With its large display and clearly arranged function keys, the M58 has proven itself as a flexible phone for fixed workplaces, reception desks and point-of-sale areas. This makes the M250 DECT base a UC platform for both mobile and stationary staff.
The systems support secure VoIP protocols such as TLS and SRTP, remote provisioning and OTA updates. An LDAP phonebook, centralized management and automatic configuration simplify operation and significantly reduce administrative workload.
The Snom M253 and M256 solutions are available now through authorized retailers and come with a three-year manufacturer’s warranty.
