July 26, 2013 by Tom Costelloe

In May Yealink announced a new series of VoIP Phones that marked a change from their current line of SIP-T2 and SIP-T3 VoIP phones. To get a better understanding of the decision to release these new models and how Yealink seems them fitting in the current VoIP phone market I talked with Cheng Zhang, Marketing Manager at Yealink.

Yealink T4 VoIP PhonesVoIP Supply: While I am looking forward to learning more about the new Yealink SIP-T4 phone models before we start for those who aren’t familiar with Yealink would you be able to tell me a little about Yealink?

Yealink:Founded in 2001, Yealink is the Global Top5 SIP Phone Supplier and a leading provider of VoIP Phone and IP communication solutions. Yealink focuses on VoIP products characterized by high cost-performance, easy deployment and affordable price. Based on solid core technology, Yealink benefits customers with its flexibility and broad interoperability with the major IP-PBX, Softswitch and IMS in the market. Chosen by famous carriers, enterprises and clients from over 80 countries, Yealink delivers SMB and diversified customers worldwide with the best choice for extending their value of network communication.

VS: Taking a quick look at the new SIP-T4 series phones the first thing that strikes me about the phones is that they are quite different then the Yealink phones I have been used to seeing these last couple years. What prompted the new design and what are some of the benefits of the new phone design?

Yealink: Yealink T4 Series IP Phones– including the SIP-T46G, SIP-T42G and SIP-T41P – are designed specifically for consumers who expect integrated communication to come with excellent functionality and ultra-smart design.

The SIP-T46G, SIP-T42G and SIP-T41P all represent the next generation of VoIP phones for business users who need a range of rich telephony features, a friendly user-interface and superb voice quality. All three are seen as a future-proofed infrastructure investment capable of providing a seamless and low-cost switchover to modern GigE-based, or in the case of the SIP-T41P cost-efficient 10/100M Ethernet, high-speed broadband networks.

The SIP-T46G and SIP-T42G have dual-port Gigabit Ethernet connections that offer a range of flexible installation options. They also ensure much lower cabling costs. Extra-large 4.3 inch 480 x 272 pixels, high-resolution, TFT color display screens mean that caller information is always shown very clearly with high illumination. In addition, the user-interface (UI) for each model is designed for clarity and intuitive operation.
Further features include USB Bluetooth support for easy Bluetooth earphone use. Enhanced sound quality is delivered by the Optima HD Voice system which meets TIA 920 certification standards.

Revolutionary in appearance with many advanced technical features, the convenient and easy use of the T4 Series is designed to make pen and paper redundant in busy office environments and represents the cutting-edge of contemporary VoIP technology in action.

Two accessories enhance performance. The first is the Yealink EXP40 Expansion Module for the SIP-T46G. This is designed to take SIP phone functional capability to a new level. It uses a large backlit graphic LCD and two pages of 20 flexible buttons. These are shown on the display and can be programmed for up to 40 productivity-enhancing features.

The second accessory is a Bluetooth USB dongle which adds connectivity to the SIP-T46G through a wide variety of Bluetooth headsets. This allows users to receive calls wherever they are in the office.

VS: What type of users can benefit from using the new phones?

Yealink:

  1. People who require high value phones or paperless office environment,
  2. Enterprise customers
  3. Carriers / service providers who already use Yealink IP Phones. They can have T4 series in their product portfolio for high end customers.
  4. Low end gigabit IP Phone markets. For example, some new schools, and new hospitals where gigabit Ethernet switch is already deployed and gigabit connection is required by PC.

VS: Yealink has been quite busy so far in 2013 with the release of new SIP-T4X and before that the Yealink SIP-W52P and SIP-W52H DECT units, can we expect more new releases from Yealink in the coming months?

Yealink: Two new VoIP Phones targeted the low end market can be expected to be released in the 4th quarter of this year.
