Avaya Upgrades Device Portfolio
Avaya this week unveiled a redesign for its Vantage K155 desktop collaboration device, as well as a conference phone and huddle room cameras. Details are as follow:
Vantage K155 – With an eye on work-from-home employees, Avaya has redesigned this device with a horizontal touchscreen and physical keypad to complement its use with the company’s Spaces workstream collaboration platform. In addition, the device features a high-definition (HD) camera, wideband audio, a wireless connection, and a new capability that allows for content, meeting participants, or both to shift to a larger screen based on meeting dynamics, Avaya said. As is new for two out of three Vantage devices (K155 and K175), the K155 offers an integration with Amazon Alexa, for touchless interaction (available only for use in the U.S. and Canada).
