Aastra announced the introduction of its Aastra Hi-Q™ audio technology
Aastra's Hi-Q™audio is a software based acoustic optimization, backwards compatible with existing 67xxi series SIP phones, delivering a more life-like conversation and richer user experience via an industry standard G.722 wideband codec. This innovative software-only upgrade works on existing hardware and is available as a free download from Aastra. The new technology is already garnering rave reviews from end users and dealers alike. “We tested the enhanced audio in our lab and with individuals in their offices,” said Jamie Stapleton, President, Computer Business Solutions, Inc. “Aastra’s Hi-Q delivers impressive sound, comparable to other products in the marketplace that charge much more for their enhanced audio offering. This quality and price point is just what the market needs. We commend Aastra on delivering such a great product.”
“Widespread adoption of high-quality voice technologies by businesses has been elusive because the ROI has been difficult to justify, particularly in a difficult economic climate. Additionally, support for high-quality voice on entry level phones has been scarce,” said Rob Arnold, Senior Analyst at Current Analysis. “Aastra’s Hi-Q software is a great solution to allow users to receive the productivity benefits from high quality audio on their Aastra phones without additional capital outlay. An added benefit is that this solution is available across a wide spectrum of endpoints, from entry-level phones to advanced-featured executive sets.”
Aastra Hi-Q™ audio technology is included in 67xxi firmware version 2.5.0 or later, and is easily configurable. Once configured, it is automatically activated for calls that successfully negotiate the use of G.722 codec.

Electronic hook switch (EHS) for wireless headset
"Y" cable from Aastra, that enables Electronic Hook Switch (EHS) capability on 6753i,6755i,6757i and 6757i CT Telephones. EHS allows you to answer the phone using your wireless headset, rather than using a clunky handset lifter mechanism. HSL10 Sennheiser or HL10 PlantronicsThis Y Cable will utilize the Expansion port on these phones, and thus precludes the use of Expansion Modules when you use the EHS capability.
Part Number D0062-0011-34 Description: DHSG Cable Kit for 675xi phones Required for EHS operation with wireless headsets
Compatible with 6753i, 6755i, 6757i and 6757i CT

Aastra announced the addition of two new models to its SIP phone portfolio.
Designed to deliver enterprise-grade advanced features and performance normally found at higher pricepoints, the Model 6730i and Model 6731i SIP phones share the same powerful, open-standards firmware design found on all Aastra 67xi telephones (formally the 5xi series telephones). Offering up to 6 lines with call appearances, full duplex speakerphones, intercom, paging and auto answer features, as well as XML browser capabilities, these SIP phones are ideally suited for regular telephone usage in small and large business environments as well as enterprise and home-based applications. “With the introduction of these two models, Aastra has broadened it’s portfolio of end point choices for our customers.” said John Drolet, US Vice President of Sales, Aastra USA. “The 6731i telephone, which is available now, is unmatched in the market place for its small desk foot print, price and performance. The product supports Power Over Ethernet (POE), TLS and STRP security support as well as the full range of features offered in the Aastra 2.x SIP firmware release. We feel that in today’s business environment, these additions to our 67xi Series portfolio of SIP Telephones will be well received by the market”.
Based on feedback received during the beta trials, customers are very excited about these new additions to the Aastra SIP portfolio. “The new Aastra 6731i telephone is one of the most elegant, popular priced SIP phones that I have ever seen. This phone is a winner!” said Jeronimo Romero, CEO at EUS Networks in New York City. Douglas Breitmayer at phusionPointe in Salt Lake City added “The footprint is nice. I like all of the extra soft keys available for application usage and additional functionality.”
The Model 6731i SIP telephone is now shipping and can be ordered through Aastra’s regular distribution channels. Advanced orders for the Model 6730i can be placed now with an expected ship date of April 2009.
