Cisco Meraki MC74
A New Voice in Communication
Overview:
The Cisco Meraki MC74 is a premium VoIP phone with an elegant design, featuring a 7” touchscreen display. Representing a fresh approach to the notoriously complex and disjointed world of telephony, it leverages the power of the cloud to eliminate the traditional PBX. MC74 provides simple, intuitive management and the ability to integrate with business applications
Meraki Communications
Meraki Communications phones benefit from zero-touch deployment. With only a serial number the network admin can remotely configure the phone for a user or meeting room. Once online it will connect to the cloud, pull down its configuration and within seconds be ready to make calls.
Using the Meraki dashboard, the network admin is able to manage all the essentials: review call stats, configure alerts, set up conference rooms, manage a contacts directory and set up Interactive Voice Response menus. For connection to the rest of the world via the public switched telephone network (PSTN), there are configuration options for a SIP service provider, and Meraki partners will be able to guide customers on this essential component.
Introducing MC74
With a beautiful, carefully crafted design and superb sound quality, MC74 is designed to delight the user, featuring easy and intuitive access to the most commonly used features—and the minimum of distractions
A large, high resolution color display is the center of the phone experience, and this blank canvas allows Meraki engineers and designers to evolve and refine the user experience over time. The display and speaker provide intuitive visual and audible cues to communicate status, without requiring the user to navigate through deep, complicated menus.
Wideband audio enhances the calling experience, allowing crystal clear speech. Calls can be placed or received using the handset, USB, Bluetooth or even regular cellphone headsets.* A sensitive microphone and full range speaker are also included for an exceptional hands–free experience during meetings.
MC74 aims to be nothing less than the best possible communications experience.
