EPOS expands its portfolio of UC headsets Certified for Microsoft Teams
The premium audio brand, EPOS – part of the Demant Group – today announces that its IMPACT MB Pro Series has been Certified for Microsoft Teams, thus offering professionals premium audio solutions to enhance their Teams experience.
October 20, 2020: EPOS today announces that it is expanding its range of UC headsets Certified for Microsoft Teams by including its IMPACT MB Pro Series. The series, which was previously certified for Skype for Business, now offers a firmware upgrade to be Certified for Microsoft Teams. EPOS’ IMPACT Line is designed to ensure excellent customer experiences with a portfolio of high-end audio tools that ensure optimal comfort, easy call handling and rich, natural sound – all while reliable, intelligent technologies filter out unwanted noise, enhance audio and boost efficiency.
The certification update for Teams delivers all of the previous benefits of Skype for Business certification and adds enhanced functionality in Teams, allowing users to receive notifications and instantly jump to the notification in Teams. The existing green call activity LED light on the appertaining BTD 800 USB Dongle now offers notifications for missed calls, voicemails, or meeting start. By pushing the call answer button, users will invoke the application, which brings them directly to the relevant notification: Missed calls, voice calls or meetings.
If users have previously purchased one of the IMPACT MB Pro headsets, they will simply have to do a firmware update via the client application, EPOS Connect, to upgrade their devices and get the full Teams functionality. Alternatively, with EPOS Manager – a free cloud-based IT Management tool - IT Managers can implement the firmware update across an entire organization’s IMPACT headset users from a central position, thus keep them in complete control of the organization’s audio devices.
