ClearOne’s New MaxxAttach IP and Maxx IP

ClearOne’s new Maxx IP, a SIP based desktop conference station will allow for more choice in a product vertical that is currently dominated by the Polycom IP4000. The MaxxAttach comes with (2) Maxx IP conference stations and the solution is scalable up to (4) units.

“ClearOne continues to break new ground in the tabletop conferencing space,” said Zee Hakimoglu, President and CEO of ClearOne. “We created the concept of attaching conference phones together for vastly improved room coverage and user control, and remain the only company that offers that capability. We were also first to market with a wireless conference phone, and the first and only company to offer a completely wireless dual-unit conference phone solution.” “Now, with the addition of MAXAttach IP and MAX IP to our tabletop product lineup, ClearOne is the only company to offer a VoIP conference phone solution with that same capability to daisy-chain up to four phones for unrivaled tabletop conferencing performance. Our enterprise customers are asking more frequently for VoIP solutions from ClearOne, and these products are our first answer to that request.” “With respect to our VoIP strategy, we evaluated the market, and determined that a SIP-based platform was the right direction to take. The momentum of SIP-based telephony offerings from other industry players clearly validates that decision,” continued Hakimoglu.

Although enthusiastic about the ability to offer additional choice; what is really exciting is the possibility of a stand alone wireless conference phone from ClearOne. ClearOne already offers analog Maxx Wireless line of desktop conferencing phones.
