Our friends at OnSIP this morning sent an email invitation to attend a free webinar that they are giving about the new Polycom UCS firmware. The session is Thursday, June 21st at 1pm EDT. The latest Polycom UCS software has…
Ooma has been around for quite some time. While the core of their service offering is free domestic long distance one you’ve bought the hardware, they have also made some effort to promote improved call quality…all the way to HDVoice.
The companies end-point device, a $199 device known as “Telo”
Telo is actually Linux-based and runs an instance of Freeswitch to handle its telephony functions. That open source project has consistently moved quickly to deploy new technologies…especially new HDVoice codecs. Ooma leverages this fact in offering what they call “PureVoice.”
I know we’ve been down this road before. These USB sticks are on the short list of those that can be used with Polycom SoundPoint phones that are capable of recording calls to a USB port. At first glance 4…
A few days ago on Digium’s blog Malcolm Davenport posted some initial details about the companies new line of SIP phones. Malcolm’s post presents our first formal glimpse into the relationship between the phones and a new module for Asterisk called the Digium Phone Module For Asterisk (aka DPMA.)
You may recall that various folks from Digium were on a VUC call back on Feb 3rd, not long after the phones were announced and shown at IT Expo.
This post is about the recent loss of a not-so-old friend and travelling companion. It’s sad when we lose a friend, especially when they’re still young and in their prime.
This past week I’ve been lamenting the loss of my Plantronics Voyager Pro UC V2
Yes teacher, my dog ate my headset. I swear its true. She chewed it up good!
It serves me right for leaving the little faux leather pouch within her reach.
It is a pity because I really liked that headset.
Earlier this week I had a little Twitter exchange with Jon Brodkin. It was inspired by his initial tweet:
“transcribing interview and can hear myself sipping coffee. That must come through loud and clear on speakerphone too.”
The inappropriate, or at least unfortunate use of speakerphones being a pet peeve of mine I could not help but respond, recommending the use of a good headset…as I’ve done many times previously.
Jon further went on to inquire about how he might easily record a call when using a headset with his using a Polycom Soundpoint IP335?
He further asserts that:
“…you would think it should be a lot easier with an Internet-based phone, but it’s not.”
That started me wondering how many people find call recording to be troublesome? People in companies with on-site PBX systems may have such capability presented by those systems. SOHO users may need other options.
