SANTA CRUZ, CA, Sep 21 (MARKET WIRE) --
Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) today announced it is expanding its product line
to include a new category of devices designed to help companies migrate
from traditional desk phone-only usage to a unified communications (UC)
infrastructure. The products that enable this transition include a new
multi-device adapter, the MDA200(TM), plus corded and wireless USB
adapters.
The Plantronics UC Enabler products are designed to maximize an IT
department's original investment in traditional voice communications,
such as desk phones and audio communication devices. A great desk-based
option for flex/hoteling environments, the MDA200 supports corded or
wireless USB headsets and allows users to answer, end, hold and switch
between calls from any connected device at the touch of a button.
"Organizations today need flexibility and new ways to leverage existing
technology," said Bill Loewenthal, Vice President, Unified
Communications, Plantronics. "The MDA200 provides flexibility and enables
companies to leverage their existing Plantronics audio devices. No matter
which headset is being used -- corded, wireless DECT or Bluetooth, the
MDA200 can connect enterprise workers to both their softphone and their
desk phone."
The MDA200 ensures IT departments can leverage their existing devices
while they pilot, test or deploy softphones from leading UC vendors
including Avaya(R), Cisco(R), IBM(R) and Microsoft(R). The UC Enabler
Category also includes a range of USB adapters, for both corded and
wireless headsets, that are designed to turn nearly any Plantronics
headset into a USB device.
