Unify’s phones typically come as HFA, TDM, or SIP variant. Each variant uses a different type of connection to the telephone system but to the user there is no visual difference between the three.
- HFA: HiPath Feature Access. These are IP phones, using Unify’s proprietary IP communication protocol for the most feature rich phone variant available. The latest software levels also allow the phones to connect to the telephone system even if not on the same network – perfect for homeworkers and multi-site offices. In addition, HFA phones allow fail-over programming, adding resilience. HFA are the preferred variant.
- TDM: Time Division Multiplexing. These digital phones are a long term favoured handset variant, but now HFA phones offer all the same features plus the option of fail-over and remote connection. Digital phones are full feature and best suited where traditional cabling is in place.
- SIP: Session Initiated Protocol. SIP is a universal IP language used by most VoIP providers. SIP phones offer the same resiliency and remote access as HFA phones, with the standard SIP level feature set. Generally speaking, SIP phones are the most eco-friendly in both production and energy consumption.
