Frequently Asked Questions

Remarkable Voice Quality. Wireless Freedom.
What is SoundStation2W?
SoundStation2W is Polycom's next-generation, wireless
conference phone that gives users the freedom to conference any-
where team collaboration is important - even in rooms where there
are no phone lines. With better voice quality than the original
SoundStation, standard 2.4 GHz WDCT or 1.9 GHz DECT technology
with voice encryption, up to 24 hours of talk time, and the ability to
dial through a cell phone, the SoundStation2W is the new standard
for everyday conferencing. Requires analog connection.
What is so special about SoundStation2W?
The SoundStation2W provides the best value proposition of any
conference phone under $1,000. Aside from being Polycom's first
wireless conference phone, the SoundStation2W introduces new
features like cell phone and Internet dialing and a fully featured
graphical LCD display and user interface.
What SKU's are available?
There are two versions of SoundStation2W: SoundStation2W Basic
(non-Expandable), US MSRP $699 and SoundStation2W, US MSRP
$899. As a step up from the basic version, SoundStation2W EX
provides excellent value with a 24 hour talk time battery (vs. 12 hr.),
and microphone expansion. At launch there will be two complete
system SKU's and three accessory SKU's. The table below shows a
map of the available products.
Can this phone be sold in markets outside of the U.S.?
SoundStation2W models use either 2.4 GHz WDCT (Worldwide
Digital Cordless Telecommunications) or the 1.9 GHz DECT (Digital
Enhanced Cordless Telecommincations) standards, depending on
the wireless requirements where the phone will be used.

What about security?
The SoundStation2W is a highly secure voice communications
solution. There are four factors that contribute to the
robust security.
1. Unique pairing between console and base station.
2. WDCT digital spread spectrum technology provides
secure transmission
3. The frequency hopping WDCT implementation makes it even
more difficult for voice signal to be intercepted.
4. We have added 64 bit voice encryption between the base
station and console. This adds yet another layer of security
in order to provide utmost confidence in the
SoundStation2W solution.
Why would I want a wireless conference phone?
Wireless provides two important benefits: 1) it enables mobility
within the facility so people can use the phone in a wide variety of
work spaces where group collaboration may be important but
where it is not appropriate to have a wired conference phone.
Some examples include: personal offices, temporary work spaces,
hospitality lounges, and lab settings. 2) For situations where the
phone is dedicated to a conference room, wireless provides a clean
solution, alleviating the clutter and installation headaches of run-
ning cables to the table.
