02 Cisco communications hardware
Desk phones that speak SIP
Cisco enterprise desk phones are built to last for a decade on a desk. Running the right firmware, they register to standards-based SIP platforms, so a refurbished phone can join a modern PBX or hosted voice service.
Firmware is the detail that decides success. Cisco offers multiplatform (MPP, also called 3PCC) firmware for third-party SIP call control, and enterprise firmware for Cisco call control. We confirm which firmware each unit carries and what your platform needs before we quote, and we offer provisioning and interface customization as a software service.
