  • Polycom SoundStation VXT 1000 Conference Phone and Sub Woofer Package, Delivers Superior Audio Quality Up To 20 Feet Away

    A standard conference phone won’t perform well in large conference rooms; audio quality diminishes dramatically as the distance between the individual speaking and the receiver is extended. Telcom & Data, a leader in business phone systems, is proud to introduce the Polycom SoundStation VXT 1000 conference phone as an ideal solution. With the VXT 1000, conference call participants can speak at their normal voice level and be heard clearly from up to 20-feet away from the receiver. The accompanying SoundStation VTX subwoofer extends down to 80Hz, providing great in-house sound.

    The VXT boasts many great features and benefits. The unit automatically selects wideband or narrowband mode based on the far-end phone. If a call is placed to another SoundStation VTX 1000, the phone will automatically connect in wideband mode. The unit is the world’s first phone to deliver wideband voice over ordinary telephone lines. Additionally, the phone automatically turns off the microphones that are not being used by the speaker, removing the “in the well” sound.

    When Ricardo Trinidad, President of Telcom & Data, was asked about the Polycom SoundStation VX 1000 conference phone, he said, “Sound quality is a real problem for many conferencing calls. This phone implements noise reduction technology and many automatic sound features to eliminate poor audio.”

    The VXT 1000 is easy to install and integrates with Polycom Vortex® installed room systems, Polycom VSX™ group video conferencing solutions, and Global Management System™.

  • USB MP3 Music On Hold Messaging System to Delight Customers and Increase Sales

    Many companies use the stereotypical boring elevator music when customers are on hold. Businesses should be using on-hold audio that excites customers. Telcom & Data, a leader in business phone systems, is proud to introduce the Premier Technologies USB 1200 MP3 music on hold messaging system as an ideal solution. The device is perfect for small and medium sized companies that want a user-friendly system.

When the flash drive is plugged into the unit, the files automatically download. A built-in speaker allows the user to listen to the downloaded audio. The unit is protected from power outages by a constant power source and solid-state memory. The Premier 1200 will automatically re-boot the audio playback following a power outage.

    When Ricardo Trinidad, President of Telcom & Data, was asked about the 1200 music on hold system, he said, “I ask businesses this question: does your music on hold get your customers excited about your new products and services or bore them with songs from the 80s?
