Aastra's Microsoft Lync Compatible Phones
Aastra’s 6725ip and 6721ip IP phones for Microsoft Lync, are the latest additions to the award winning line of IP phones.

First of all what is Microsoft Lync?
Microsoft Lync is a unifed communications software which delivers streamlined communications for the users in your business.

Microsoft unified communications can also help organisations reduce the operating costs of travel, telecom and IT, while allowing them to improve their business outcomes in a sustainable way.

Aastra 6725ip
The 6725ip is a true IP phone that can operate as a standalone Microsoft Lync endpoint. When connected to a Microsoft Lync 2010 equipped desktop, it provides a synchronized integration with the desktop client enabling enhanced functionality, including click-to-dial and desktop control of calling features such as transfer, hold, call park and conferencing. The 6725ip features both a full color 3.5” LCD screen and a separate Unified Communications (UC) presence icon providing direct access to features and presence indications in Lync. Exceptional voice quality is provided through the use of Microsoft audio codecs in both the handset and hands-free modes.

Aastra 6721ip
The 6721ip is unique to the Aastra Lync model line, and provides a lower cost option for users who still require the benefits of a true IP phone, including dual Gigabit Ethernet ports and message waiting light indicator – but do not require the full UC desktop integration capabilities of the 6725ip. The 6721ip is an ideal selection for Hot-desking applications and common areas, such as lobbies and meeting rooms.

So what are the benefits of the 6725 and 6721?

“Always on” Operation - It is no longer necessary to have a phone connected to an operating PC to enjoy the benefits of Lync. Both models of Aastra’s Microsoft Lync phones are true stand-alone IP phones and have the Microsoft Lync 2010 Phone Edition embedded in the phone. The 6725ip has the additional advantage of being able to be connected to a local desktop PC via a USB cable, enabling desktop PC phone control, multi-media call escalation and synchronized PC and phone locking.

Intuitive Interface - An ergonomic and user friendly hard key layout, used in conjunction with selectable soft keys, a large 2-way navigation key and a 3.5” LCD display screen, provide an efficient and intuitive interface.

Simplified Deployments - Both models are designed to save your business time and money. Dual autosensing switched Gigabit Ethernet ports eliminate additional wiring and simplify installations without compromising the bandwidth required by “power users”. Integrated IEEE 802.3af Power-over-Ethernet allows easy deployment with centralized powering and backup.
