Cisco® Unified Communications Solutions unify voice, video, data, and mobile applications on
fixed and mobile networks, delivering a media-rich collaboration experience across business,
government agency, and institutional workspaces. These applications use the network as the
platform to enhance comparative advantage by accelerating decision time and reducing
transaction time. The security, resilience, and scalability of the network enable users in any
workspace to easily connect anywhere, anytime, and anyplace, using any media, device or
operating system. Cisco Unified Communications is part of a comprehensive solution that includes
network infrastructure, security, wireless, management applications, lifecycle services, flexible
deployment and outsourced management options, and third-party applications.
The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G (Figure 1) is a full-featured IP phone with speakerphone and
handset designed for wideband audio. It is intended to meet the needs of managers and
administrative assistants. It has six programmable backlit line/feature buttons and four interactive
soft keys that guide you through all call features and functions. The phone has a large, 4-bit
grayscale graphical LCD (Figure 2) that provides features such as date and time, calling party
name, calling party number, digits dialed, and presence information. The crisp graphic capability of
the display allows for the inclusion of higher value, more visibly rich Extensible Markup Language
(XML) applications, and support for localization requiring double-byte Unicode encoding for fonts.
A hands-free speakerphone and handset designed for hi-fidelity wideband audio are standard on
the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7962G, as is a built-in headset connection and an integrated Ethernet
switch.
