Multi-point Voyager headset USB Bluetooth-Voice
adapter PersonoCall software
Unique solution! (and award winning)
27Element 1 Multi-point technology
PROBLEM Most Bluetooth headsets only work with
one device at a time. And most mobiles think they
are that device
Most mobile phones hang on to the headset link
and needs to be manually disconnected before the
headset can be used with a PC (which is also
often awkward). So switching uses of the
headset is slow difficult.
SOLUTION Voyager headset is Multi-point, allowing
it to be seamlessly shared between PC Mobile
phone via its unique ability to maintain links to
two devices simultaneously..
28Element 2 Voice adapter
PROBLEM Bluetooth device installs on PC are often
problematic and once installed, dont always work
with headset as youd expect.
Conflicts possible, often need to be quite
PC-literate to get it working. Some Bluetooth
drivers (e.g. Microsoft drivers) do not support
voice so cant be used with headsets
SOLUTION Plug and Play Voice optimized
USB-Bluetooth adapter.
- No BT stack loaded onto the PC removing risk of
conflicts. - PC sees it as USB voice device- the adapter
handles all Bluetooth connection, not the PC. - Intelligent Softphone Management
29Element 3 PersonoCall
PROBLEM You probably think Bluetooth headsets
work as well with PC Softphones as they do with
Mobiles. They dont.
Almost none provide any call management,
resulting in very poor user experience with most
softphone. No notification in headset when call
is received No call-answering from headset-
instead it is necessary to open audio to headset
AND answer call via Softphone.
SOLUTION PersonoCall provides unparalleled UC and
Softphone integration for remote call
notification control plus rich media controls
for managing conflicts between UC applications
from multiple vendors.
