One other main names had developed their wi-fi options utilizing a reliable wi-fi DECT frequency for his or her headsets or utilizing the Bluetooth Class 1 connectivity for his or her headsets to work with a number of units, akin to with their desk telephones, laptop and cellular units. After analyzing this in a deeper level, Yealink determined to take this right into a step additional, providing the primary of its type Wi-fi Hybrid Headset!
