Cisco 8800 Series Wi-Fi IP Phones
Cisco's wireless IP phones are industrial-grade handheld devices designed for professionals who are on the move within campus, hospital or other environments where organizations are looking for mobile devices that provide greater manageability, security and durability than is possible with BYOD client devices.
Cisco's 8821 and 8812-EX Wi-Fi IP Phones offer mobile onsite workers the benefits of voice over wireless LAN communications in environments that deploy 802.11a/b/g/n/ac wireless technology. The 8821 Wireless IP Phone has a 2.4-inch color display, a durable case rated Mil-SPEC 810G for shock resistance and IP67 for resistance to dust particles and water, extended-life batteries, an integrated full-duplex speakerphone, and a Bluetooth 4.0 radio for cordless headphones. The 8821 works with a wide selection of Cisco Aironet and Cisco Meraki wireless access points, and SIP IP call control is supported with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and Cisco Unified Communications Manager Express.
The 8821-EX Wireless IP Phone offers the same core features as the 8821 and includes ATEX Class 1 and Zone 2 rating. This can avoid sparking during brief exposure within volatile environments. In addition, the 8821-EX comes in a housing made of industry-standard yellow plastics, which makes it easier to find the 8821-EX in an emergency.
Legacy Cisco Wi-Fi IP Phones
Legacy Cisco Wi-Fi IP phones for which Progent continues provides support include the Cisco Unified Wireless IP Phone 7925G and the 7925G-EX. These devices are more durable than prior wireless IP phones and both include Bluetooth 2.0 including Extended Data Rate. The 7925-EX includes ATEX Class 1 Zone 2 compliance and is housed in a yellow case for easy location in case of an emergency. Progent can also assist you to maintain or migrate from legacy 7921G series Wi-Fi IP phones.
