Snom, German IP pioneer and leading manufacturer of VoIP telephones for the business sector, presents three new DECT handsets and a base station from the successful M series. With the M70 and M80, the company introduces two high-quality, robust all-rounders with a long range, integrated Bluetooth and alarm function. In addition, the white M90 with antibacterial surface has been specially developed for use in clinics and nursing homes. The M900 DECT multi-cell base station is also new to the series and can be used with up to 4,000 base stations and 16,000 handsets, making it extremely scalable.

Mobile and flexible working is now part of everyday business. To make this model a success, small and versatile handsets are needed to enable workers to make calls anywhere, at any time. For many, the working day no longer takes place solely at their desk. Alongside classic desk phones, modern and professional DECT handsets are being used more frequently.

All-rounder for mobile working

The Snom M70, M80 and M90 handsets, alongside the new M900 base station, represent the most modern form of DECT communication for the digital age. The new, high-performance devices have been specially developed for use in everyday business and, depending on the model, are recommended for office use (M70), indoor and outdoor use (M80) or for use in hospitals and nursing homes (M90). All three models offer numerous advantages over conventional consumer solutions.

Perfect all-rounders: M70 and M80

The Snom M70 DECT handset is the ideal all-rounder for mobile work in the office, factory hall or outdoor area. The compactly designed model (118x46x22 mm [HxWxD]) weighs a mere 120 g, which includes a lithium-ion battery and integrated belt clip. Nevertheless, the M70 is robust enough to withstand unintentional falls from a height of up to 2 metres thanks to its high-quality workmanship and its outer protective cover (tested according to military standard MIL-STD-810g 516.6).

Employees whose workplace is not only at their desk, but also on campus, in the warehouse or multi-storey car park, etc. are best-equipped with the equally lightweight (138 g incl. lithium-ion battery and integrated belt clip) and resistant (122x48x22 mm [HxWxD]) M80 DECT model. This robust device has a heavy-duty casing and not only withstands falls of up to 2 metres in height (MIL-STD810g 516.6), but is splash water and dust resistant (protection class IP65).

Clean and hygienic: the M90

The M90 white DECT handset has been specially developed to meet the requirements of hospitals and other healthcare facilities where cleanliness and hygiene are of high importance. The 136 g lightweight (including lithium-ion battery and integrated belt clip), compact model (122x48x22 mm [HxWxD]) is not only extremely robust and protected against dust, splashing water and falls from up to 2 metres in height (protection class IP65 and MIL-STD 810g 516.6 certification), but it also has a special antibacterial surface (tested according to JIS Z 2801). The material is particularly easy to clean - thus preventing the growth of bacteria and viruses on the surface.

Powerful features for more efficient work

All three new additions to the M-Series are equipped with a multi-colour, backlit TFT LCD screen, large navigation key, integrated Bluetooth, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack for corded headsets. The integrated alarm button also increases employee safety in emergencies.

Numerous telephone functions - such as speed dial numbers, the ability to host two simultaneous calls or conference calls - 200 hours standby time and up to 12 hours talk time (broadband; approx. 17 hours standard) round off its impressive offering.

The M70, M80 and M90 handsets are compatible with the M700 base station as well as the newly launched DECT M900 VoIP multi-cell base station. Other devices from the M series can also operate with the M900 base station.

The DECT M900 VoIP multi-cell base station is a high-quality, powerful and easy to set up control centre for wireless DECT coverage in large buildings with many floors.

Thanks to the integrated DECT manager, all calls can be transferred easily across several floors. Up to 4,000 registered base stations, 16,000 handsets and 100 repeaters can be connected in a multi-cell arrangement. The M900 is compatible with the M25, M65 and M85 handsets, as well as the subsequent models of the M series, and enables smooth, uninterrupted telecommunications with a radio range of 50 metres indoors and 300 metres outdoors. Other outstanding features of the M900 include OPUS codec support, DECT and LAN synchronization, PoE and power supply support, TLS encryption and local XML and LDAP phonebook support.
