Avaya B189 IP Conference Phone
A boardroom-class IP conference phone with a 5-inch colour touchscreen, four built-in omnidirectional microphones and 360-degree pickup. Powered over Ethernet and built for Avaya Aura environments.
Key Benefits
-
360-degree microphone pickup: four built-in omnidirectional microphones cover the whole table, with roughly a 20-foot pickup range for medium to large rooms.
-
5-inch colour touchscreen: an 800 x 480 capacitive display, so dialling, conference control and call handling are done directly on screen.
-
OmniSound audio: wideband audio with background-noise suppression and an equaliser, tuned to keep speech clear without clipping.
-
Gigabit Ethernet: a 10/100/1000 network port, so the phone does not become the slow link in a modern boardroom.
-
Power over Ethernet: runs on IEEE 802.3af PoE Class 3, keeping the table free of power bricks.
-
Expandable: auxiliary connections support extension microphones, a wireless headset and PA output for larger rooms.
Performance in Use
Conference phones are judged on one thing: whether the people at the far end can hear everyone in the room without asking them to repeat themselves. The B189 addresses that with four omnidirectional microphones giving full 360-degree coverage and roughly a 20-foot pickup radius, which comfortably covers a normal boardroom table.
The 5-inch capacitive touchscreen changes how the device is used day to day. Rather than memorising key sequences to add a participant or move a call, the operations are on screen. In a room where whoever booked the meeting is the one operating the phone, that matters.
For larger rooms the auxiliary jacks accept extension microphones to extend coverage down a long table, along with a wireless headset and PA connection. Like the rest of the range it is intended for Avaya Aura environments rather than as a standalone SIP device.
