Who Is The SIP-T54W For?

Sitting towards the more basic end of the range, the SIP-T54W is a handset for those who need a phone that has more functionality than the entry-level, but do not need the full functionality of the executive handset. We have found that this handset is great for general office use, used by managers, and other colleagues who are not on the phone every second of the day (e.g. not sales teams) in small to medium businesses.

Benefits Of The SIP-T54S

Bluetooth & Multiple Other Headset Options

Gone is the need to have a special headset just for your phone handset, with Bluetooth it means you can now easily get a headset that will easily work with your handset & mobile phone. One headset, multiple phones! Plus with it’s usb connection it gives you hundreds of other headset’s options to choose from.

Clear HD Audio

The Yealink SIP-T54W includes the latest version of Yealink Optimal HD Voice technologies and now supports the Opus codec, which helps maximise the acoustic performance of the phone’s handset, headset and especially the speakerphone. Customers have said that the sound quality of these new handsets really is excellent - especially for those who are in noisy offices!

Power over Ethernet (PoE)

No need wire in new power points to add a headset to your desk, if you have an existing Ethernet point at your desk, your handset can power itself using that connection.

Alternatives To The Yealink T54W?

There are plenty of telecommunications systems on the market that are suited to executive users, so it is important that you research and find the system best suited to your needs. The difference between the phone system and the handsets is that although the handsets are of course an important factor, they are essentially keyboards for the phone system itself. The phone system is where a lot of the features and functionality stem from. Therefore, it is important that you first choose a phone system that suits your needs, and then choose the handset that you want to work with that system.

The Yealink handsets are best paired with the SpringCom Hosted phone system. With SpringCom Hosted, the whole phone system exists in the cloud rather than installing a physical hardware box and wiring in your office to run your phone system.

Handsets are delivered pre-programmed and come with free programming changes for life- therefore, the system is completely scalable and so can grow with the business. An incredible feature system also comes as standard, with features such as call flow, auto-attendant, calling waiting and voicemail to email technology. Voicemail to email technology is especially beneficial for managers and executives, as it allows you to access their voicemail from their email wherever you have access to an internet connection on your computer or mobile phone.

If you are looking for a more advanced alternative, the T58V is at the opposite end of the scale. The top handset in the range, the T58V has built in Wi-Fi, camera and a 7” touch screen! The T58V also runs on a state-of-the-art Android system, which our customers love.

Looking at other systems…. iPECS eMG100

The iPECS eMG100 is a phone system from LG Ericsson. This Ericsson LG eMG100 is a good alternative to an hosted phone system. The system is a good alternative if you do not have access to high speed internet such as the NBN right now but want to take advantage of the cost savings moving to SIP can bring many businesses or you have very specific requirements that a hosted phone system with Yealink handsets may not cater to.

The eMG100 is a featured packed,top quality phone system that many of our customers use everyday . The system offers all of the common features such as voicemail, DND, day and night greetings etc and offers an outstanding range of features at a low price. There is a great range of digital and IP handsets within the iPECS eMG100 range, so there is something for every budget and business need.

Yealink T54W Con's

As a media handset, the lack of a camera may be something that you come to miss. We have found that having a camera can improve conversations as it enables you to have an almost face-to-face conversation with colleagues and clients.

Limited Features and Functionality

Even though it has more functionality than the entry-level T52S, the features are still limited when compared to the rest of the range. You should talk to one of our friendly advisors about what you want to get out of the handset, and whether it is worth investing more in your phone to get more out of it.
