Snom Technology GmbH is a German VoIP device manufacturer, headquartered in Berlin. The company’s products are targeted to small to mid-sized businesses, home offices, and internet service providers, among others. Snom was founded in 1996, starting off production with the Snom 100. Since then, Snom has come a long way and the recent Snom D385 is part of its D3xx series.

The D385 was launched in January of this year, as a desk phone with a sleek UI and several new features.

Inside Snom D385

Let’s glance through some of Snom D385’s key features.

The telephone has a large 4.3" TFT colour display, ensuring it is convenient to check important information like address books and call lists. All keys on the Snom smart-screen are multicolour LEDs for total clarity. 48 entries can be stored, with each individually assigned for speed-dialling, call forwarding, and other functions.

Of course, Snom’s HD audio quality comes into play in the D385 and users can expect crystal-clear sound. There’s also an integrated Gigabit Ethernet switch with Power Over Ethernet, integrated Bluetooth, and a USB connection. And, if you need conferencing support, the A230 DECT dongle and the Snom C52-SP expansion speaker can help you get there. Let’s now list out its several other features –

• Miscellaneous capabilities like 12 SIP identities/accounts, an XML browser, a local directory with 1000 entries, multi-lingual support, and interoperability with all major IP PBX platforms
• Essential call features, including speed dialling and URL dialling, local dial plans, a deny list, customisable music on hold, concurrent support for 12 calls, blind and attended transfer, 3-way conferencing, and multicast paging
• Easy setup that is configurable through a web interface, as well as provisioning via HTTP/HTTPS/TFTP (automatic settings upload), DHCP options, Snom redirection service, and remote management
• Stringent security, driven by 802.1X authentication and EAPOL, transport layer security (TLS), HTTPS server/client, a password-protected web interface, and VPN-support

Why Snom D385 Makes a Difference

The Snom D385 is a great mix of elegance and state-of-the-art tech. It has a neat range of functions, while the design is modern and minimal in its aesthetic. This makes the phone a perfect fit for any new office environment. What’s more, the perfect size, the improved graphical interface, USB headset readiness, and built-in Bluetooth compatibility are some of the other standout features that make Snom D385 quite the office must-have.
