The devices also provide multiple call handling features, including call waiting, call transfer, and three-way calling, which enhance collaboration among teams. Notably, they come with integrated security protocols, ensuring calls are kept private and secure.

In addition to their basic features, the Cisco SPA301 and SPA303 benefit from the extensibility of the Cisco Smart Call Home Technology.
