SANTA CRUZ, Calif.,
Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Plantronics, Inc. ("Poly" – formerly Plantronics and
Polycom) (NYSE: PLT), a global communications company that powers
meaningful human connection and collaboration, today announced the
Voyager 4200 and Voyager 5200 Office Series. These Bluetooth
headset systems are an extension of the popular Voyager 4200 UC and
Voyager 5200 UC Series, designed for mobile office workers, and
provide multiple connectivity options in the widest range of
wearing styles to meet office mobility needs.
The Voyager 4200 and Voyager 5200 Office Series will have a
version available with a dedicated Microsoft Teams button, both on
the base and the headset, to instantly invoke the Teams app. This
instant access to the Teams app makes scheduling a meeting,
starting a call, or checking the calendar easy. The Teams versions
also provide audio and visual alerts when a Teams notification
occurs. The Voyager Office Series headsets are also supported by
Zoom and other UC platforms.
"Open office floor plans require a certain amount of flexibility
and mobility of employees," said Tamara
Lane, director of product marketing, at Poly. "To escape
noise and distraction, you might duck into a huddle room for a
call, take your next meeting in the lobby or join a meeting from
someone else's office which means you not only use a desk phone but
a PC or Mac and your smartphone for collaboration. The Voyager
Office Series delivers high-quality audio in a comfortable headset
that performs in all of those scenarios."
Multiple Connectivity options for Office Mobility
Poly
Voyager 4200 and Voyager 5200 Office Series headsets can connect to
a desk phone, PC, Mac, or a mobile phone. The Voyager Office Series
Bluetooth headset systems give IT decision makers another wireless
communication option in regions where DECT is not permitted and
therefore helps boost UC adoption.
Amazon Alexa and Tile Built-In Support
The Voyager
4200 and 5200 Series headsets also feature Amazon Alexa Built-In
and Tile integrations. Just tap-and-ask, and Alexa will
respond so you can focus on your tasks at hand. Tile is integrated
right into the headset which makes finding your Voyager headset
easy – you can literally "ring" it.
Wearing Styles
The Voyager 4200 Office Series offers
an over-the-ear, hi-fi stereo and mono headband wearing style. The
Voyager 5200 Office Series offers a sleek and discreet over the ear
wearing style for those working on the go in and out of the office.
Both the Voyager 4200 and Voyager 5200 Office Series come with the
option of a one-way desk phone only or two-way desk phone and
PC/Mac office base, in addition to a mobile phone.
"In 2018, advanced UC-enabled Bluetooth headset revenue grew by
a significant 56 percent with the segment holding the strongest
growth opportunity in the professional headset world," said
Alaa Saayed, information and
communications technology industry director and fellow, of Frost
and Sullivan. "Poly's unwavering commitment of designing
mobile-first solutions for the modern office and helping people
collaborate no matter what collaboration devices and platforms they
prefer has resulted in the vendor offering the broadest advanced
Bluetooth connectivity portfolio on the market."
Remote Management for IT
IT teams can add the
Plantronics Manager Pro software-as-a-service (sold separately) to
a purchase to track every Voyager Office Series headset to help
streamline the management of headset deployments, including device
firmware updates and policy compliance. (Note: Plantronics Manager
Pro is not supported by the desk phone only models.)
