Polycom SpectraLink 8452 handset with 2D barcode scanner

The Polycom SpectraLink 8452, said to be the first enterprise-grade voice-over Wi-Fi handset with an integrated 2D barcode scanner, has been released.

The handset combines a mobile phone, pager, push-to-talk functionality, barcode scanner and access to web-based applications in a single lightweight device.

As an easy-to-use, multifunction solution, the handset lets workers communicate and access data in a variety of ways from anywhere within the enterprise Wi-Fi network.

The barcode scanner has the capability to read both 1D and 2D barcode images in hundredths of a second from a scanning distance of up to 86.36 cm and from a range of horizontal and vertical scan angles.

The handset also features the Polycom HD Voice sound quality for clear conversations, a large colour display with a simple and intuitive user interface, enterprise-grade durability, simple provisioning and management and support for accessories such as battery packs and headsets.
