As Michael Jordan, the world famous basketball player once said “Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence win championships”.
Some businesses employ great talent. But often they lack the best tools to harness it. The true opportunity of teamwork is lost.
One advantage about working in the 21st century is that technological innovations have accelerated. Knowing the best tools to affect collaboration is truly competitive information.
Understanding VT’s new W320 DECT headset is competitive intelligence industrial spies would salivate over. It unleashes a new standard in productive collaborative freedom.
Breaking free from your computer and deskphone
The key to collaborative success is to not just to switch seamlessly between computer and telephone. It’s also to take that phone far from your desk whilst keeping your hands free. That removes the space barrier.
For example, a manager wanders around a large office motivating staff. If a call comes in, she can take it. She is wearing the VT W320 DECT headset. That leaves her arms free to gesticulate and communicate better. When other colleagues call her about bidding for a vast contract and need her input, she can engage whilst walking back to her desk. There, she seamlessly continues the contract meeting, face to face, on MS Teams.
The DECT advantage
DECT stands for Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications. It uses the same voice-call radio technology that digital cordless phones have been using since the 1990s. They allow users freedom of movement around the office or home.
They use their own isolated frequency, making them very reliable wireless telephones.
WiFi phones cover a wide area too. They are secure. But unlike WiFi phones, DECT phones are designed traditionally for voice signals. They don’t prioritise data. So voice quality is better and interruptions are less likely.
Connecting to computer softphone and deskphone
VT’s W320 DECT headset has distinct advantages.
- Four concurrent users can join a conference call. They can wander around too
- Content meetings can be run remotely
- Users can control conference and telephone calls via the headset.
- It is compatible with Counterpath Bria, Cisco Jabber, 3CX, MS Teams and Skype for Business softphones
- In Europe, users can move 150 metres away from the base station (350 ft in the US)
- Users can answer and end calls with a multifunction button. So they can control their communications when wandering around
- Wideband audio and noise cancellation are supported. So both calling parties can be clearly heard
- Compatible deskphone brands include Aastra, Mitel, Snom, Vtech, Avaya, Cisco, Yealink, Huawei, Polycom, Grandstream and 3CX
As Victor Fan, MD at innovative UC headset manufacturer, VT explains:
“VT’s W320 DECT headset uses the most advanced digital signalling processing (DSP) technology. It ensures users have the ultimate voice communication experience.” Victor Fan continues, “Working effectively means also having regular time out for pure uninterrupted concentration. That’s why we included a vital busylight in the W320 DECT headset”
After so much collaboration, our manager can finally catch up with her emails with her busylight on.
Well that’s a ball through the hoop.
