These smart Android based deskphones can be enhanced by adding apps to augment enterprise connectivity, productivity and information flow

Bakshi describes a recent customer’s use case for the Liberty series. A large distributor of electronics products complained about the inherent limitations of traditional deskphones. Its employees were constantly moving around the warehouse and hence unable to answer calls on their deskphones. Upon changing to Apivio’s Liberty Wi-Fi phones, employees were able to carry their deskphones with them and communicate as they worked around the warehouse.

Finally, the Monet series represents the future of the smart deskphone. “These smart deskphones running on Android, are similar to mobile smartphones, so enterprises can run custom apps designed to increase revenue, productivity and other custom functionality relevant to their industry” explains Bakshi. “The potential benefits of running apps on enterprise phones are only limited by the imagination of the user”. Examples include healthcare professionals who can video conference and share information amongst themselves and with patients. Similarly, hotels can develop apps for phones in their hotel rooms to assist customers find local restaurants, tourist attractions and other events. These phones are exclusively sold through Apivio’s partner; NEC Corporation of America.

Apivio has a highly educated and specialized workforce, enabling the development of innovative products. “Our investment in R&D is evenly balanced between new product development, sustaining engineering and visionary products. The Company is gearing up to launch the Liberty and Monet series phones in the North American market.”Bakshi predicts, “Our Wi-Fi and Android phones will play a pivotal role in enterprise and residential communications in the years ahead.”
