The world of business is littered with disruptive leaps in technological advance an no sector has been party to as many such jumps as that of communications. The world of the traditional telephone system is fast fading. Just as data storage is moved to the cloud, so is voice traffic now regularly routed over the Internet ( hence VoIP – Voice Over Internet Protocol ). Having this traffic move via a network of routers and computers has give the suppliers and manufacturers of telecoms the facility to take full control over various aspects of communications. This has evolved into Unified Communications platforms and products such as supplied by Microsoft(Lync ) and Cisco and Avaya. These UC platforms allow communication across a variety of devices and media.
Of course a primary way in which a human being interfaces with this ‘Matrix’ is via a headset and although these have changed in styles and transmission methods ( Bluetooth, DECT, Wifi ) over the years they have not taken, yet, that leap.
However, now, Avalle [ http://www.avalle.co.uk ] have broken the mould with the Avalle Verso Headset – this headset is a traditional wired headset which connects to a range of traditional and Unified Communcations devices via a standard Plantronics Connection Cord and, as would be expected from Avalle it is a well made, durable headset which is easy to use and delivers clear sound.
This can be a great bonus for workers as there have traditionally been two recommendations on headset style:
- Monaural – the one eared variety is great as it allows you to communicate with colleagues
- Binaural – great for call centre staff or busy executives who need to fully concentrate on the conversation without distraction
As we see, people have been forced into two groups by the very nature of headsets, but now with the Verso one is able to just reach into your desk drawer and change the headset from Monaural to Binaural as your mood ( or working conditions ) require.
