Cisco CP-8845 — 5-Line SIP VoIP Phone with HD Voice, Bluetooth & WiFi
The Cisco CP-8845 is a premium 5-line SIP desk phone with a 5-inch WVGA (800×480) colour display, HD wideband voice, Bluetooth 4.0, and integrated 802.11b/g/n dual-band WiFi. It is fully SIP-based and compatible with Cisco UCM, BroadSoft, 3CX, Asterisk, and other SIP platforms. Cisco Intelligent Proximity allows pairing with a mobile device to share contacts and content wirelessly via Bluetooth. This unit is PoE powered (no adapter included) and ships with a 12-month Reboot IT warranty.
Key Benefits
-
5-inch WVGA colour display: 800×480 pixel screen provides clear visibility of call history, directories, and UC application content — noticeably larger than entry-level IP phones.
-
HD wideband audio (G.722): Wideband voice delivers natural, clear speech reproduction — a significant improvement over narrowband G.711 calls on legacy phones.
-
Bluetooth 4.0 headset + Intelligent Proximity: Pair Bluetooth headsets wirelessly, or use Cisco Intelligent Proximity to share mobile contacts and content directly on the phone display.
-
Integrated 802.11b/g/n WiFi: Built-in dual-band WiFi enables wireless desk deployment without running a network cable — ideal for open-plan offices or heritage buildings with cabling constraints.
-
5 programmable line keys: Configure for multiple directory numbers, speed dials, or features (BLF, call forward, do-not-disturb) with LED status indicators.
-
12-month Reboot IT warranty: Professionally inspected, tested, and graded at our Melbourne facility — Australian warranty and support since 2001.
Performance in Use
The CP-8845 occupies the upper-mid tier of Cisco's 8800 series and is typically deployed for managers, executives, and power users who make frequent calls and benefit from a large, clear display and Bluetooth headset support. In a Cisco UCM environment, the phone auto-provisions via TFTP, registers to the call manager, and inherits its directory, voicemail, and extension mobility configuration centrally. In a pure SIP environment (BroadSoft, 3CX, FreePBX), it registers via SIP with standard credentials and delivers the same HD audio quality.
Cisco Intelligent Proximity is a standout feature for mobile-heavy workers. When your smartphone is near the phone, Intelligent Proximity detects it over Bluetooth and displays your mobile contacts and recent calls on the 8845's screen — allowing you to dial from the desk phone while using your mobile number. You can also pull an active mobile call onto the desk phone's speakerphone for a more comfortable extended conversation.
WiFi connectivity eliminates the need for a separate Ethernet cable at the desk. The 8845 connects to the corporate WiFi network directly, authenticating via WPA2-Enterprise if required. For environments where a network cable is already present, the integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet switch passes through to a desktop PC, keeping cabling tidy at a single wall port. Note: no power adapter is included — the phone requires an 802.3af/at PoE switch port or a Cisco CP-PWR-CUBE-4 adapter purchased separately.

Is It Right for You?
✓ Best For:
• Managers and executives wanting Bluetooth headset + mobile integration
• Open-plan offices using WiFi deployment (no desk Ethernet run)
• SIP environments: Cisco UCM, BroadSoft, 3CX, FreePBX, Asterisk
• Users needing a large, clear display for directory and call history
• PoE switch deployments — single cable carries data and power
|
✗ Not Recommended For:
• SCCP-only deployments (this is a SIP phone, not SCCP)
• Non-PoE environments without the Cisco CP-PWR-CUBE-4 adapter
• Basic reception or call-centre use where a 2-line phone suffices
• Users expecting an included power adapter — purchase separately

Frequently Asked Questions
Does a power adapter come included?
No. The CP-8845 is powered via IEEE 802.3af/at PoE from a compatible network switch. If your switch does not support PoE, the Cisco CP-PWR-CUBE-4 power adapter (sold separately) is required. No adapter is included with this unit.
Is this phone SIP or SCCP?
The CP-8845 runs SIP firmware and is compatible with any standard SIP call manager — Cisco UCM (in SIP mode), BroadSoft BroadWorks, 3CX, Asterisk, FreePBX, and others. It does not support the SCCP (Skinny) protocol used by older Cisco 79xx-series phones.
How does Cisco Intelligent Proximity work?
Intelligent Proximity pairs your iPhone or Android smartphone to the CP-8845 via Bluetooth. Once paired, your mobile contacts appear on the phone's display and you can dial them from the desk phone. Active mobile calls can be pulled to the desk phone's speakerphone for more comfortable extended conversations.
Can this phone connect via WiFi instead of a cable?
Yes. The integrated 802.11b/g/n dual-band WiFi connects directly to a WPA2-PSK or WPA2-Enterprise corporate WiFi network, eliminating the need for a dedicated Ethernet cable at the desk.
