Cisco Unified Wideband Handset Mombasa

The result is an improved audio experience that makes communications a more intelligible and more comfortable user experience. The new receiver is sold as an add-on accessory that can be installed to many Cisco Unified IP phone Kenya models. And when combined with the G.722 Wideband codec, the result is a superior audio experience.
