Cisco IP Phone 7821, a two-line IP phone with wideband audio, 3.5-inch backlit display, four soft keys, PoE Class 1 and an integrated 10/100 switch.
The Cisco IP Phone 7821 is a full-featured, two-line IP phone designed for information workers and managers. It supports wideband audio for superior voice communications quality and advanced IP telephony features to make business calls more efficient and productive. The phone is ideal for customers who currently use traditional analog or digital phones but want to move to IP telephony, and for organisations that want to expand their voice communications investment by using Cisco Unified Communications. The 3.5 inch (89 millimetre) white-backlit display has high-resolution graphics and grayscale at 396 x 162 pixels, and there are four context-sensitive soft keys. Dedicated fixed keys cover common functions such as conference, messaging and directory, with a two-way navigation button. Full wideband audio (G.722) is supported throughout the handset, headset and speakerphone for superior clarity, and electronic hookswitch control gives added flexibility in managing personal calls when using third-party headsets. The phone is easy to deploy and manage. It is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 1 endpoint and supports Cisco EnergyWise to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint. A field-replaceable bezel option allows enhanced customisation, and an integrated IEEE 10/100 switch supports traffic from a co-located PC for reduced cable infrastructure costs. A wall-mount option suits common areas such as aisles or hallways, or where desk space is limited.
