Cisco 8821 Wireless IP Phone Dakar

The Cisco 8821 Wireless IP Phone Dakar improves security and simplifies configuration management. Stronger encryption is supported for certificate management and policy enablement with the support of Secure Hash Algorithm 2. Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol facilities IT administration by allowing automatic certificate management on the device.

While the Cisco 8821 Wireless IP Phone Dakar is shiny and lightweight, the design is tough for users. It is Ingress Protection standard rated and is sealed for defense against dust and involvement in water. The device is also MIL-STD-810G tested, with a dozen drops onto concrete from heights of up to 6 feet (1.8 m), to help confirm shock resistance and avoid breakage if dropped.

End users will enjoy a larger, higher-resolution color display and a user experience that is common with Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series Dakar desk phones. In addition, roaming between access points within the campus will support more unified voice communications with the Cisco 8821’s support of Fast Transition (802.11r). This protocol was exactly designed for mobile voice over IP communications devices within Wi-Fi networks. Bluetooth is supported for the user’s choice of third-party wireless headphones and adds freedom by releasing the user from the handset.
