The new handsets meet the needs
of desk-based and more mobile
employees through enhanced
functionality, ergonomic design and
integration with smartphones and
tablets.
There are four models in the range,
two of which feature integratedWi-Fi
and Bluetooth connectivity, bringing
new options for users of smartphones
and tablets (see below).
Wired deskphones
All four models feature wired network
connectivity and an ergonomic design
and productivity boosting layout.
Highlights include:
n
A distinctive ‘floating’ handset. This
looks stylish, but its real purpose is
functional rather than aesthetic, making
it easy to grab and pick up the handset
from any direction or angle.
n
Adjustable angle. The user can adjust
the angle of the handset, enabling the
handset to be set at the optimum angle
for their needs.
n
Intuitive operation. The phones have
35 or 47 buttons, arranged in three
distinct groupings for simplicity and
ease of use. These are the display and
four associated buttons at the top; the
number pad and call function buttons at
the bottom; and, on the right, 12 or 24
DSS-related buttons.
n
Versatile connectivity. This includes a
two-port Gigabit switch, headset port
and a USB port that supports Electronic
Hook switch (EHS) headsets so that
users can answer and hang up calls on
a cordless headset without having to
touch the deskphone.
Any i6000 model would suit the
needs of office workers who spend most
of their working day at the same desk
and like the comfort and stability of a
deskphone.
Wireless deskphones
Employees who move around the office a
lot during the working day and routinely
use a corporate smartphone, as well as a
deskphone, to make and take calls will be
able to get even more value out of the
two wireless models.
As an installer, the ability to deploy
handsets on desks without the need to
provide a wired connection makes it
easier as well as reducing costs.
Compatible with wired or wireless
networks and offering seamless
integration with mobile devices, these
versatile handsets provide users of
mobile devices with a number of
additional capabilities. These include:
Contact Synchronisation
. Contact
lists on mobile phones are always the
most up-to-date. One of the most
useful features of the i6000 series is the
automatic upload and synchronisation
of contacts from a smart phone to a
deskphone.
Deskphone remote control
.
Use your smartphone like a remote
control to initiate and make calls on a
deskphone. Just click on the desk phone
icon on your smartphone and the call
will be generated from the i6000 giving
you better call quality and better speech
quality.
Cordless calling.
Turn your mobile
into a cordless handset by moving
the speech path of the call to your
smartphone over Bluetooth.
C
all handover.
Install the Samsung
WeVoIP app on your smartphone and
you can move calls received on your
deskphone over to your smartphone and
vice versa. You can also transition calls
from aWi-Fi environment to GSM. This
means that you can take a call on your
deskphone and if you need a bit more
privacy transfer it to your mobile with a
simple button press. If you move out of
the range of theWi-Fi network, you can
Samsung has updated its range of
deskphones with the launch of
the striking i6000 series for
Samsung OfficeServ and SCME
communication systems.

i6000 Series
even hand the call over fromWi-Fi to
GSM, all without interrupting the call.
Tablet extension.
Instead of
integrating a large touchscreen display
into the i6000 and therefore increasing
costs, Samsung has chosen to use a
small, high quality greyscale display and
give customers the ability to use a colour
tablet as an extension module. This
gives greater flexibility at a lower cost
and means that users can continue to
use the tablet for other applications. An
app linking the tablet to the deskphone
provides up to 99 programmable
buttons, giving one touch access to
functions or extension numbers.
Wi-Fi hotspot.
An integratedWi-Fi antenna on the
wireless i6000 series deskphones means
they can also be used as WiFi hotspots.
If a wireless deskphone is connected to
the network using its wired Ethernet
cable, up to five devices can connect
to it wirelessly to gain internet access.
This is useful in small offices or in listed
buildings where cabling is difficult.
Various studies have shown that
UK workers are more mobile than
ever and rely more and more on their
smartphones to stay in touch with
colleagues and customers. However, they
still value the comfort and call quality of
a deskphone. The Samsung i6000 fully
integrates deskphones and smartphones,
ensuring that employees can always
communicate using their handset of
choice.
