Cisco 8800 Series Wi-Fi IP Phones
Cisco's wireless IP phones are industrial-grade handheld units designed for professionals who are on the move within campus, health-care or other environments where IT management is looking for mobile devices that provide greater manageability, data security and durability than is possible with BYOD endpoints.
Cisco's 8821 and 8812-EX Wi-Fi IP Phones offer mobile onsite workers the advantages of voice over wireless LAN telephony in environments that support 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless technology. The 8821 Wireless IP Phone has a 2.4-inch color display, a ruggedized case rated Mil-SPEC 810G for shock resistance and IP67 for resistance to dust particles and water, extended-life batteries, a built-in full-duplex speakerphone, and Bluetooth support for wireless headphones. The 8821 works with a broad range of Aironet and Meraki wireless access points, and SIP IP call control protocol is supported via Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco CUCM Express.
The 8821-EX Wireless IP Phone has the same basic features as the 8821 and adds IP64 compliance. This can prevent sparking during temporary exposure within combustible sites. Also, the 8821-EX is packaged in a case composed of industry-standard yellow plastics, which makes it easier to find the 8821-EX in a crisis.
Legacy Cisco Wi-Fi IP Phones
Legacy Cisco Wi-Fi IP phones for which Progent still provides support include the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G and the 7925G-EX. Both these devices are more rugged than prior Wi-Fi IP phones from Cisco and both feature Bluetooth 2.0. The 7925-EX features IP64 rating and is enclosed in a yellow shell for easy recognition in case of an emergency. Progent can also help you to maintain or migrate from legacy 7921G model wireless IP phones.
