Jabra Launches First Speakerphone for Enterprise Market

NASHUA, N.H., Nov. 24, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- Jabra, a world leader in innovative, high-quality hands-free audio solutions, has entered the enterprise speakerphone market with a product that is small, powerful and designed for portability at a time when virtual offices are becoming increasingly popular. Featuring an innovative 360 degree noise-cancelling microphone, the Jabra SPEAK™ 410 allows a group of people to be heard from all sides of the device, easily distinguishing itself from competitive products.

The Jabra SPEAK 410 is ideal for Unified Communications and available in two variants:

Jabra SPEAK 410 MS - Available Now

• Optimized for Microsoft® Lync™ 2010, the SPEAK 410 MS has been certified by Microsoft for use with Lync 2010 and is truly plug-and-play, requiring no additional software or drivers.

Jabra SPEAK 410 UC - Available Q1, 2011

• Compatible with all leading Unified Communications (UC) solutions, the Jabra SPEAK 410 is easy-to-use and portable requiring just a free download of the latest driver from Jabra's PC Suite to enable call control.

"With the introduction of the Jabra SPEAK 410, we have taken our proven success in the in-car speakerphone market and our expertise in Unified Communications to deliver a product that is truly game changing," said Chris Briglin, VP Strategic Alliances, GN Netcom, Inc. "The Jabra SPEAK 410 is not only an ideal speakerphone for conferencing on the go but one that delivers great sound and is compatible and easy-to-use with all leading UC solutions."

Portability & Flexibility

A mere five inches in diameter, Jabra SPEAK 410 is small enough to tuck into a briefcase and flexible enough to work in any environment. That portability helps reduce unwanted travel expenses, allowing any location to become a meeting room - from home offices to companies without permanent conference call installations. The unit's integrated cable management allows immediate, easy set up and comes with a travel case to enhance portability.

• Built-in Ringer - Alerts users to incoming calls
• Full Duplex and Wideband Sound
• Headset Port (3.5mm) - Lets users quickly and easily attach a noise-cancelling headset for private conversations, even in an open office environment
