The new Polycom KIRK Butterfly series features best-in-class voice quality and call reliability, and interoperability with major IP PBX systems and soon Microsoft® Lync™ (in the process of Microsoft qualification). The handsets interoperate with all of the Polycom® KIRK® Wireless Servers, which can support small businesses to enterprise systems. The handsets feature a newly designed user interface, including a 4-way navigation key with icons, which makes the handsets easy for employees to operate, while also shortening response time and streamlining workflow.

The modular nature of the Polycom KIRK solution, which pairs Polycom KIRK handsets with one or more Polycom KIRK Wireless Servers, allows customers to support their business needs by easily expanding coverage, voice traffic, and number of users. This makes it ideal for businesses of all sizes to improve employee productivity, mobility, reaction time, and personal safety.

“Polycom’s KIRK Butterfly Handset Series is a dramatic new entrant to a market that wants great value, style and customization without sacrificing the exceptional quality and reliability that they’ve come to expect from the Polycom and KIRK brands,” said Sten Dyrmose, general manager, wireless solutions, Polycom.

New Series Delivers Design at Its Best
Packed with the most popular telephone features used in office environments, the attractive new butterfly-shaped handsets offer design at its best in several ways.

• Each handset features a soft-to-the-touch casing available in five vibrant colors so customers can choose the color that complements their logo or brand identity, or combine different colors to designate separate workgroups or departments. A matching accessory combines a desk stand and belt clip to maximize individual usage options.
• The Polycom KIRK Butterfly series supports analog or Voice over IP environments (VoIP) – or a combination of both – while Polycom’s growing list of Polycom VoIP Field Verified Partners ensures that the new handsets have been verified to work with a broad suite of leading PBX systems.
• With support for open industry protocols, the new series can also be used with the full range of existing Polycom KIRK handsets and KIRK Wireless Server Solutions.
• In conjunction with Polycom KIRK Wireless Servers, the handsets can scale from four to more than 4,000 use
