The VoiceStation 500 is Bluetooth-enabled for connecting to mobile phones or computers. It also features an applications port for wired connections to mobile phones and computers that are not Bluetooth-enabled - How does VoiceStation 500 compare to the VoiceStation 100?

Any meeting space that is larger than an office or small room should use a SoundStation2 rather than the VoiceStation 500. - What is Bluetooth technology? The Bluetooth Specification defines a lowcost, low-power global radio standard for connecting devices. Using an efficient time-sharing architecture designed with advanced frequency-hopping and small packet sizes, the technology is able to maintain high transmission speeds while operating in the unlicensed 2.4GHz radio spectrum. - Which Bluetooth-enabled products will the VoiceStation 500 pair with? The VoiceStation 500 will recognize most devices that are enabled with standards based Bluetooth capability. The VoiceStation 500 is intended to work with other types of communication devices such as mobile phones, Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth-enabled computers that you use for computer calling. - How does the applications port work using a mobile phone? The mobile phone cable (included with the VoiceStation 500) links the console to the headset jack of a mobile phone. The plug is a standard 2.5mm headset connector. Once the two phones are connected the console acts as a speakerphone for the mobile phone. Dial the call using the mobile phone interface and speak hands free through the VoiceStation 500 console. You can transfer back and forth between speakerphone mode and normal mobile phone mode by unplugging the headset connector. The phone call transmission takes place through the mobile network in this case rather than the landline. Accordingly, this feature has powerful benefits in environments where there are no landlines available. - What is the maximum number of participants VoiceStation 500 can effectively handle? VoiceStation 500 can effectively cover up to four participants. The SoundStation2 should be used for larger groups. - Does VoiceStation 500 work with a digital PBX?
