SpectraLink Wireless Telephones

Employees can carry handsets to place and receive calls as they move throughout the building. The handsets are to be used on-premises; they are not cellular or satellite phones. They are connected to the facility's existing telephone system and to the SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway. Just like wired telephones, they can receive calls directly, receive transferred calls, transfer calls to other extensions, and make outside and long distance calls (subject to the restrictions applied in your facility.)

SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway

The SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateway serves as the connecting point, or gateway, between the LAN and the existing telephone system. One or more SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways are typically installed in the telephone equipment room. The eight port model supports up to eight telephone lines and handsets and the 16 port model supports up to 16 telephone lines and handsets. Up to 40 SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways can be connected to the LAN to support additional telephone lines. If five or more SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways are connected to the LAN, a SpectraLink 8000 SVP Server must be installed to handle the increased call volume.

Polycom offers digital SpectraLink 8000 Telephony Gateways that work with the digital ports on most common brands of telephone systems (PBX or key systems). We also offer an analog SpectraLink
