This is an analog speaker phone ideally used for conferences or classroom applications where multiple persons need to hear and speak in conversation. The phone has three built in microphones and one primary speaker. This is a full-duplex speaker phone meaning that there is no “cut out” of speakers waiting until the other party stops speaking. This is kept in inventory and requests may be made by calling the ITS Helpdesk at x. 4444.
