Plantronics Makes “Plug and Play” Unified Communications a Reality with New Product Portfolio

Santa Cruz, CA, September 21, 2011 - Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) today announced it is expanding its product line to include a new category of devices designed to help companies migrate from traditional desk phone-only usage to a unified communications (UC) infrastructure. The products that enable this transition include a new multi-device adapter, the MDA200, plus corded and wireless USB adapters.

The Plantronics UC Enabler products are designed to maximize an IT department’s original investment in traditional voice communications, such as desk phones and audio communication devices. A great desk-based option for flex/hoteling environments, the MDA200 supports corded or wireless USB headsets and allows users to answer, end, hold and switch between calls from any connected device at the touch of a button.

“Organizations today need flexibility and new ways to leverage existing technology,” said Bill Loewenthal, Vice President, Unified Communications, Plantronics. “The MDA200 provides flexibility and enables companies to leverage their existing Plantronics audio devices. No matter which headset is being used - corded, wireless DECT or Bluetooth, the MDA200 can connect enterprise workers to both their softphone and their desk phone.”

The MDA200 ensures IT departments can leverage their existing devices while they pilot, test or deploy softphones from leading UC vendors including Avaya®, Cisco®, IBM® and Microsoft®. The UC Enabler Category also includes a range of USB adapters, for both corded and wireless headsets, that are designed to turn nearly any Plantronics headset into a USB device.
