Grandstream Network’s recently dropped the cost of entry another notch in releasing their new GXP1400 & GXP1405 models. According to their press release:
“The GXP1400/1405 delivers superior wideband HD audio quality, high performance full duplex speakerphone with advanced acoustic echo cancellation…”
With list pricing in the range of $59 and 65 USD they’re certainly on the affordable side of things.
For that price you might expect very little, but they seem to have a reasonable compliment of features, including;
- 2 line keys with dual-color LED
- one SIP registration
- 128×40 pixel graphical LCD display
- 3 XML programmable context-sensitive soft keys
- dual network ports
- integrated PoE (GXP1405 only)
- 3-way conferencing
I’ve not laid hands on these new models myself, but I can certainly see they may appeal to a more cost conscious uSMB or SOHO user.
While I have no doubt that you get what you pay for, I’m also keenly aware that everyone’s sense of what has value is a little different. If you were holding off exploring the benefits of HDVoice purely because of cost, perhaps the GXP140x models could get you started down that path in a most affordable manner?
