Overview of Cisco 8821 Wireless IP Phone (CP-8821-K9) | New

The Cisco 8821 Wireless IP Phone (CP-8821-K9) is a tough, dependable, and secure 802.11 wireless LAN handset that offers cost-effective, on-premises, comprehensive Voice over Wireless LAN (VoWLAN) communications to the highly mobile in-campus worker. The Cisco 8821 is specifically designed for workers in more demanding industrial environments. Nurses and doctors in healthcare, operations and engineering staff in manufacturing, customer service representatives in retail, service staff such as maids in hospitality, and rig workers in the oil and chemical industries are all good examples of ideal applications.

The Cisco 8821 is slim and light, but its design is toughened for users. It meets the Ingress Protection standard (IP54) and is sealed to keep out dust, splashes, and water. The device has also undergone MIL-STD-810G testing, with a dozen drops onto concrete from heights of up to 5 feet (1.5 metres) to ensure shock resistance and avoid breakage if dropped. The 8821 enhances security and simplifies configuration management. Certificate management and policy enablement can now be encrypted more securely using the Secure Hash Algorithm 2 (SHA-2). The Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol (SCEP) streamlines IT administration by automating certificate management on the device.

End users will benefit from a larger, higher-resolution color display, as well as the same user experience as Cisco IP Phone 8800 Series desk phones. Furthermore, the 8821 supports Fast Transition (802.11r), which allows for more seamless voice communications when roaming between campus access points. This protocol was designed specifically for mobile voice over IP (VoIP) communication devices in Wi-Fi networks. Bluetooth is compatible with the user's preferred third-party wireless headsets and provides freedom by untethering the user from the handset.
