Much touted for the company’s consistent production of VoIP DECT phones that perfectly manage to put launch designs that exhibit style and function in equal measure, Snom is one of the leading providers of digital telephones in the workplace—from cordless phone models that have no trouble fitting into the confines of an office to cordless telephones fit for use in communal areas such as the lobby. The German consumer electronics developer and manufacturer is one of the lucky few to have managed a lockdown on telephone designs that perfectly capture the look of the modern cordless phone.
In days of old, austere was one description typical of a great many workplaces. Not so much as simple lines but stark ones were often the defining trait of such areas. As bland and boring as wallpaper, the workplace was never anything more than a place wherein one toiled one’s day away. However, as more and more professionals began to look for aesthetic surroundings, companies started to come up with new ways to meet this particular consumer demand.
Companies like Snom, for one, factored this into their designs, launching cordless telephones in the market that consciously incorporated stylish flair where none used to exist. While Snom’s designs primarily retained simple lines, the overall build of many of the company’s cordless phones were unquestionably elegant models. Snom VoIP phones like the Snom 360 SIP phone, Snom 320 SIP phone and Snom 300 SIP phone pull off designs of this sort exceedingly well.
Function-wise, these cordless phones from Snom pack along quite a number of features that provide several connectivity options to users. The Snom 300, for one, offers choice of trunk line, status display, group lines, the engaged option or picking up calls. Users are able to check the call information with the unit’s two-line graphical LCD display and the user friendly interface helps as well. Unlike other models, the Snom 300 has an easy to understand and operate menu so functions and operations may be seen to with ease. This cordless phone from Snom also has six free user or administrator-configurable function keys that may be replaced with security-related menu functions in a snap. Users may also assign these functions to multiple lines.
The Snom 320, like the Snom 300, has a speakerphone, 12 programmable keys that may be customized and assigned functions users may prefer and the same user friendly interface as well as easy-to-manage menu. The 12 programmable keys of this Snom VoIP phone was designed with LEDs support allowing users to enjoy flexible trunk-access/busy lamp configuration. For additional features, the Snom 320 has a phone directory that’s capable of handling 100 contacts, a 100-number call memory along with custom call blocking. Configurable/downloadable ring-tones, auto-answer mode, DND and a bevy of other features are also part of the Snom 320 package.
As for the Snom 360, call control features and configuration choices make this another notable kin of the series, put alongside the Snom 300 and the Snom 320. A tiltable graphical display, a speakerphone and headset port—for those hands-free calls—as well as a dual Ethernet connection are all included. The device also allows for customized ring tones so for those who want to listen to the latest music on via this VoIP DECT phone from Snom may do so. With the Snom 360, users no longer need to subject themselves
As VoIP IP Telephones such as the ones Snom developed emerged into the market, not only the need for functional devices were met. Workplaces turned more inviting. And though most workplaces are still architecturally simple in nature, with Snom VoIP phones such as the Snom 360 SIP phone, Snom 320 SIP phone and Snom 300 SIP phone, there is now more room for style and aesthetics than ever before. Also, interestingly enough, when one considers the pace at which these consumer electronic gadgets are being developed and marketed at present, the room is only bound to grow bigger as we draw closer and closer to the hereafter.
