Integration with Applications from Avaya, Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Shoretel and Skype Provides Advanced Calling Features and Easy Set-Up
Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE: PLT) today expanded its award-winning Unified
Communication product portfolio with the Plantronics Savi 430®, the
industry’s first wireless PC headset with a DECT™ USB adapter. The Plantronics
Savi 430 provides on-campus professionals with unmatched wideband
audio quality for clear, natural sounding voice conversations on the PC
and greater range through the use of DECT wireless technology.
The Plantronics Savi 430 helps IT departments enhance user experiences
by delivering full call control functions, such as remote call
answer/end, for UC applications from partners such as Avaya, Cisco, IBM,
Microsoft and Skype. It provides easy set-up with these applications, so
IT departments won’t be burdened by support requests.
Landline Audio Quality with Bluetooth® Portability
Designed for professionals who travel frequently within a corporate
campus, the Plantronics Savi 430 is ideal for those who use laptops or
netbooks for voice, video and data communications. Its lightweight,
noise-cancelling headset and DECT USB adapter provide brilliant audio
and up to 300 feet of range. DECT is a voice-dedicated frequency that is
not compromised by interference from other wireless devices or Wi-Fi.
The dedicated bandwidth also ensures density issues do not impact audio
quality.
“With the Savi 430, users can feel confident that their voice is being
delivered clearly and naturally, whether they are on a Skype call or
WebEx meeting,” said Elizabeth Bastiaanse Hamren, vice president of
Product Marketing at Plantronics. “And the one-step setup and advanced
calling features on the headset make PC-based communications a more
intuitive, familiar experience.”
The DECT USB adapter has180-degree articulation and folds neatly for
portability as users carry their laptop from building to building. The
over-the-ear wearing style provides all-day comfort. Adaptive power
usage ensures extended talk time and users can conference in as many as
three additional Savi headsets on a call.

Cisco, IBM, Microsoft, Shoretel and Skype. For more information and a
