The UC handset for flexible use - in the office, home office or on the move
Efficient internal and external communication are essential for the success of a company. Modern office concepts in particular require flexibility of all relevant communication services. Unified Communications ("UC") systems combine, for example, telephony, video conferencing, e-mail and instant messaging in one application environment.
The new Gigaset ION was explicitly developed to meet the demands of modern UC users: It combines the convenience of a DECT handset and compatibility with existing unified communications solutions. With compatibility to Microsoft Teams, Zoom as well as numerous softphones and integration into UC solutions from SWYX and Unify Circuit, Gigaset ION supports the world's leading UC platforms. At the same time, you enjoy the benefits of a modern DECT handset: HD audio quality, hands-free functionality, plug & play installation and a noise-cancelling optimised microphone. Whether in the office, in conferences or in the home office - the new Gigaset ION ensures unlimited mobility and the greatest possible freedom of use for all employees.
Automatic switching of audio modes
Make a phone call just as it suits you: With its integrated proximity sensor, the Gigaset ION recognises which audio mode is needed. Automatically and even during an ongoing call, the device switches from hands-free to handset mode, for example, when it is taken out of the charging cradle and placed against the ear. Due to the encrypted DECT connection, there is no risk to data protection and all confidential information remains secret.
Flexibility through compatibility
Gigaset ION can be used as an audio output device for almost all softphones and UC clients on Linux, Windows and Mac OS-based devices - the USB interface used gives you maximum flexibility. In addition, the Gigaset DECT STICK enables operation via any desk phone as long as it has a USB port, e.g. for headsets. With standard USB drivers, the installation is done via Plug and Play.
Change settings with the ION Desktop App
The Gigaset ION desktop app can be used to initiate software updates and customise the functions of the ION. This allows the device to be customised to the user's preferences. Answering a call when lifting it out of the charging cradle or hanging up when placing the ION back in the charging cradle are just some of the options offered. In addition, the compatibility of the Gigaset ION is constantly being expanded through regular software updates.
DECT: Mobile freedom
The Gigaset ION makes all the advantages of modern telephony available: its DECT interface, which connects to the Gigaset DECT STICK supplied, ensures unlimited mobility. This stick can be easily installed on the USB port of the PC or laptop, as well as in the charging cradle of the ION, and enables cordless communication with a range of up to 300 metres. Want even more mobile flexibility? You can charge the Gigaset ION either in the charging cradle or mobile via the USB-C interface.
Environmentally friendly & radiation-free thanks to ECO DECT
The Gigaset ION is equipped with environmentally friendly ECO DECT technology. This means that the device is radiation-free in standby mode. During a call, the transmission power automatically adjusts to the distance between the base (Gigaset DECT STICK) and the handset. The smaller the distance to the base, the lower the radiation. This reduces power consumption and radiation exposure while maintaining outstanding performance.
Long-life battery & flexible use
280 hours standby and 14 hours talk time - the Gigaset ION is reliable and enables long phone calls. An LED display informs you about the battery status at all times and warns you when the remaining runtime is short. The reliable operation and easy charging via PC/laptop, charging station, main unit or with additional USB-C power adapter support flexible use. The Gigaset ION thus favours new work concepts such as desk sharing, open workplaces or switching between office and home office.
