Cisco Releases Two New Wireless VoIP Phones

Thanks for returning. You're a very smart person.

Cisco has quietly released two new wireless VoIP phones - one of which is a slick new desktop phone we have been playing around with in the VoIP Supply offices.

The first - the Cisco CP-7925G - is the replacement for Cisco’s CP-7921G wireless VoIP phone. According to my man Ted at UC500.com the CP-7925G comes with such enhancements as a:

• Full Color screen
• Bluetooth support
• Military 810F standard ruggedized design

No information yet on support SIP, but all signs point to a SCCP only product. You learn read more here.

The other wireless VoIP phone is the Cisco SPA525G. The SPA525G - as mentioned above - is a desktop VoIP phone with 802.11b/g wireless (and wired Ethernet) capabilities.

According to pal Cory Andrews (who gave us a first look at the SPA525), the Cisco SPA525G is the “swiss army knife” of VoIP phones. It boasts- in addition to it’s wireless capabilities:

• SIP based
• Bluetooth 2.0 support
• Full Color Screen
• XML support
• USB port
• 5 Lines

While the SPA525G comes with a hefty price tag ($400) - it’s the first SIP desktop VoIP phone that I know of supporting both wireless and Bluetooth. So if you need to outfit an out-of-the-way space with a VoIP phone or want the freedom of mobility with the convienence that comes with a desktop VoIP phone check it out.
