Cisco

Unified IP phones continue to lead the competition with integrated business functions and converged

communications features beyond today's conventional voice systems. As the proven market leader in IP telephony,

Cisco Systems

continues to deliver superior end-to-end data and true voice-over-IP (VoIP) solutions, offering the

most complete, stylish, fully featured IP phone portfolio to enterprise and small and medium-sized customers (Figure 1).

The Cisco Unified Communications system of voice and IP Communications products and applications helps organizations communicate more

effectively—by helping them streamline business processes, reach the right resource the first time, and enhance productivity. The Cisco Unified

Communications portfolio is an integral part of the Cisco Business Communications Solution—an integrated solution for organizations of all sizes

that also includes network infrastructure, security, and network management products; wireless connectivity; and a lifecycle services approach,

along with flexible deployment and outsourced management options, end-user and partner financing packages, and third-party communications

applications.

First to provide unconstrained bandwidth to desktop applications, the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7971G-GE delivers the latest technology and

advancements in Gigabit Ethernet VoIP telephony. It not only addresses the needs of an executive or major decision maker but also brings

network data and applications to users quickly with its Gigabit Ethernet port for integration to a PC or desktop server. This state-of-the-art Gigabit

Ethernet IP phone is “feature identical” to the Cisco Unified IP Phone 7970G. It also includes a backlit, high-resolution color touch-screen display

(320 x 234, 12-bit display with 4096 colors) for easy access to communication information, timesaving applications, and features. It also helps

customers and developers deliver more innovative and productivity-enhancing Extensible Markup Language (XML) applications to the display.

Offering access to eight telephone lines (or a combination of lines and direct access to telephony features), a high-quality, hands-free speakerphone,

and a built-in headset connection, the phone can be powered through IEEE 802.3af power over Ethernet (PoE) or a local power supply (part number

CP-PWR-CUBE-3=). The Cisco Unified IP Phone 7971G-GE does not support Cisco Prestandard PoE.
