Product Description:

The 3Com NBX 3102 Business Phone (3C10402B) is a next generation design focused on telephone voice quality by featuring enhanced acoustic design and by leveraging the emerging wideband audio standard, which significantly enhances speech transmission compared to conventional public switch telephone network (PSTN). The 3Com 3102 Business Phone (3C10402B) also includes convenience and productivity features that make it an advanced business tool.

The 3Com 3102 Business Phone (3C10402B) has been designed to support the emerging wideband audio standards developed to enhance the quality of voice conversations. A typical PSTN phone line reproduces speech at 3.3 kHz, a legacy of Alexander Graham Bell, whereas the 3102 phone can relay IP conversations at a frequency of 7 kHz or higher, enabling clearer and more productive phone calls.

Combined with the carrier-class 3Com VCX™ V7000 IP Telephony Solution, 3Com SuperStack® 3 NBX® Networked Telephony Solution, 3Com NBX 100 Communications System, the 3Com 3102 Business Phone is SIP compliant, protecting enterprises' investments in IP telephony. SIP enables multi-vendor interoperability and is also backward-compatible allowing older SIP-based equipment to support new SIP applications.
