Product Overview

The new Cisco

Unified Wideband Handset significantly enhances the Cisco Unified IP phone

communications by providing a clearer and richer audio experience. The new handset provides an

audio frequency response that is more than double when compared to the traditional narrowband

audio used on most of today’s telephones. The result is an enhanced audio experience that makes

communications a more intelligible and more comfortable user experience. The new handset is

sold as an add-on accessory that can be installed to many Cisco Unified IP phone models. And

when combined with the G.722 Wideband codec, the result is a superior audio experience.

The new Cisco Unified Wideband Handset (left) looks similar to the Cisco Unified Narrowband

Handset (right) (Figure 1).
