With the C520-WiMi, the IP telephony specialist Snom presents an innovative, attractive and cost-efficient conferencing solution for companies of all sizes. This model brings a new level of independence and flexibility to conference calls with top-class HD sound quality and easy setup making even long conferences more comfortable. Smartphones can also be integrated via Bluetooth.

Thanks to DECT and Bluetooth technology, Snom’s new conference telephone is the perfect assistant for facilitating teamwork. Three sophisticated microphones ensure excellent voice quality at all times on the C520-WiMi. One microphone is integrated into the base unit together with the powerful full-duplex speaker, while two other cordless DECT microphones can be set up anywhere in the room and/or passed on to whoever is speaking.

The microphones of the C520-WiMi feature dynamic noise suppression as well as adaptive feedback control for crystal-clear HD voice quality even in the case of large numbers of participants and large rooms. To ensure optimal coverage, the microphones synchronise in real time in accordance with their location in the room. This technology enables conference attendees to move around freely within the room.

Connectivity is one of the most important factors today in relation to effective collaboration. The C520-WiMi features a Bluetooth interface which enables mobile or DECT telephones, such as smartphones, to be easily connected and used.

The C520-WiMi conference system can be extended without any difficulty, thus also enabling telephone conferences with large teams. The additional C52 speaker units are simply paired with the base unit in this case, thereby significantly increasing the range of the speakers and microphones.

With a recommended retail price of €299.00, the C520-WiMi is available at an attractive price – comparable rival models often cost significantly more. The C52 expansion module also comes at an attractive recommended retail price of €149.00.
