ABP is a big believer in Eating the bread we bake and we really like what has been coming out of the kitchen.

 

ABP decided to reach out to our VAR partners this year using web collaboration and interactive audio conference groups. Standard IP speaker phones are fine for desktop hands free operation, but when ABP is hosting our weekly group meetings with new partners or the entire ABP team get together, we needed a reliable, quality conference room speaker phone, and the clear choice was the ClearOne MAX IP business class conference phone.

 

Murphy is always getting in the way when we have these large group meetings. Many attending the ABP conference are remote VoIP phones using unreliable data connections, and may need to call into a large audio conference bridge, and on top of that, the demo has to work and the PC can't freeze when I click on the next slide. Many things can go wrong, and do, but our ClearOne has never let us down. Always works, crisp, clear, and enhances the whole collaborative experience. One of the irritating things we had on our prior Top brand conference phone was constant buzzing that we found out came from cell phones interfeering with the mike electronics. Our Clearone is much better shielded and unless someone puts a cell right next to it it will not pickup buzzing.

 

 

 

 

 

Large conference bridges induce their own problems with audio quality, so you really need a phone in the conference room that has exceptional speaker clarity and can effectively pick up the conversations from the panelist sitting around the table and mute the unwanted noice and background.  This is not easily done, and only a few solutions have really provided the goods.
