It can turn any location into a productive conference room: enhanced with Bluetooth®, an integrated USB cable to connect it to a PC or 3.5mm jack for your tablet or smartphone,meetings are ready to start in seconds.
Additional ease of use is delivered by integration with all communication platforms, removing the need for an IP end-point and also comes with a USB charge-out portfor charging tablets or mobile devices during calls.
“Microsoft continues its working partnership with Jabra to ensure that their solutions are fully compatible with Microsoft Skype for Business,” said Giovanni Mezgec, Microsoft GM of Skype for Business. “The Jabra SPEAK 810 is an excellent example of this collaboration.”
Zoom in on what’s important
Today, a third of conference calls are delayed due to set-up issues with connections, 15% of meeting time is spent on ‘getting started’ and one of the most common frustrations is poor sound quality*.
The Jabra SPEAK 810 is an intelligent audio deviceutilising Jabra’s heritage in office audio solutions, as well as ear-related diagnostics and hearing healthcare technology. It facilitates conference calls in meeting rooms of up to 100 m2 with up to 15 people in one room, delivering crystal clear sound, without any unwanted background noise.
The plug-and-play speakerphone features powerful loudspeakers and unique market-first technology from Jabra called ZoomTalkTM, an intelligent directional microphone that focuses on sound from human voices, so you only hear what matters most. ZoomTalk is central to achieving productivity and flexibility as it makes meetings as clear as possible, filtering human voice from all of the ambient room noise, wherever the call is taking place.
The SPEAK 810 also maximises business investment in Unified Communications (UC). As more organisations invest in UC as a way to enable collaboration and support the increasing trend for mobility, devices such as the SPEAK 810 enable businesses to maximiseand fast-track that investment. This is true whether they are starting their UC journey or have an established infrastructure.
