The Avaya E169 IP Media Station is a VoIP SIP deskphone with which you can use your smart
device on your enterprise telephony system. The media station provides:
• A standalone SIP deskphone on your enterprise system
• Two functional line appearances that provide options to hold calls, transfer calls, and set up a
conference call
• A charging station for your smart device
• A high-quality Bluetooth-enabled speakerphone
• The capability to make calls through a SIP line or through the smart device cellular network
Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
The Avaya E169 IP Media Station supports the most popular iOS and Android smart devices that
enterprise workers use. The media station facilitates enterprise-grade integration with Avaya Aura
Release 6.2 FP3 and later and Avaya IP Office Release 9.0.3 and later telephony servers.
The media station app can route calls over the wired SIP network of the telephony server or over the
wireless network of the cellular carrier. Whether the calls route over SIP or the wireless network, the
media station speakerphone or wired handset provides unmatched audio quality.
Bluetooth
You can connect your smart device to the media station using Bluetooth to provide a high-quality
speakerphone when making calls on your device. You can also use Bluetooth for playing audio
streams from your device. As with all Bluetooth devices, audio quality can vary based on the quality
of the Bluetooth signal from the smart device.
Important:
You can pair many smart devices with a media station, but only one can be active at a time.
High-quality sound
The speakerphone and microphones on the media station provide unmatched sound quality. The
media station has six broadband speakers, four digital microphones, and one passive radiator. This
unique and innovative acoustic design uses the speakerphone in hands-free mode with unequaled
quality. You can use the media station for large conference calls or listen to your music or podcasts.
These innovative technologies improve performance by using wide-band or high definition codec G.
722. Conventional telephony encodes speech at bandwidths ranging from 300 Hz to 3400 Hz. As a
result, the media station only transmits the most essential part of the human voice. The media
station encodes the human voice using bandwidths ranging to 8 kHz. These bandwidths also pick
up voice harmonics: the natural quality of the human voice, a sense of the physical presence of the
speaker, and the space around the person.
You can discern every nuance of the human voice. The media station reduces nasal sounds and
you can discern similar sounding consonants such as S and F. You no longer need to repeat as
your conferences are now crystal clear and stress-free.
Power to charge your smart devices
The media station uses Power over Ethernet (PoE) and an optional AC power adapter. With this
power arrangement, you can charge your smart devices when you connect your devices to the
media station.
