The Voyager Legend UC Delivers Seamless Call Transfer from Mobile Phones to
Cisco’s New DX650 Smart Desk Phone
Plantronics (NYSE: PLT), a pioneer in wearable devices has announced new
integration between the Voyager Legend® UC wearable device and Cisco’s
new smart desk phone, the Cisco Desktop Collaboration Experience DX650
at Cisco Live, Cisco’s annual IT and communications conference. This
integration between the Plantronics device and Cisco’s Android- based
phone will give users the ability to utilise different types of
contextual information, like identifying a user’s location relevant to
their desks, to significantly enhance the user experience.
Voyager Legend UC and the Cisco DX650: Secure. Seamless. Aware.
Plantronics developers working closely with Cisco engineers created a
solution that delivers unique benefits for those using the new smart
desk phone with the Voyager Legend UC. They include Seamless Call
Transfer: the ability to easily transfer a call from a mobile device to
the Cisco DX650 based on a user’s proximity to the phone. In addition,
this contextual data about a user’s location is able to “Smart Lock” the
Cisco DX650 when the user walks away. This provides customers with
another layer of security on top of the extensive security capabilities
already built in to the Cisco DX650. The Voyager Legend UC can also
access the phone book and provide the user with audible caller ID for
incoming calls on the Cisco DX650.
“Plantronics builds great products that do much more than send and
receive audio. These tiny devices can collect and deliver information
about the user’s world. Bringing this context into the processes people
do every day makes life easier by anticipating users’ needs,” said Joe
Burton, senior vice president of Technology, Development & Strategy and
CTO at Plantronics. “The Cisco DX650 and wearable technology from
Plantronics deliver the ability for people to move a call from their
mobile to their Cisco DX650 when they get in the office and want to
launch a richer experience like a video conference. This unique solution
also enables users to automatically lock the Cisco DX650 when they walk
away and enable it to accept their password the moment they return.”
