Mitel’s new 712dt, 722dt, 732d and 742d handsets embrace the latest technology and user interface (UI) experience. The new 2.4" scratch-resistant display provides modern graphical elements that simplify staff interactions for faster and more efficient communication, while backlit keypads provide improved accessibility in low light. The handsets are impact-resistant (up to 2 m) and meet IP44/IP65 dust-tight and water-resistant standards to support usage in more demanding environments. The devices are built using plastics protected with an antimicrobial compound that simplifies cleaning and reduces microbe growth, while the long-life lithium battery ensures maximum uptime for shift workers. The 700d series handsets are also designed with Bluetooth ® 5.0 support and a USB Type-C charging port to support new 2024 EU sustainability regulations, all of which help organizations better address both current and future mobility requirements in a rapidly changing market.

“DECT solutions provide a proven, reliable, secure on-site communications solution for mobile and front-line workers in key industries including healthcare, retail, hospitality, public administration departments and manufacturing,” said Stephanie Watson, General Manager at MZA. “Mitel has longstanding expertise in this market, and with the introduction of the new 700d series, Mitel is adding enhancements to its already market-leading solutions, having continued to lead this market globally securing number one position with a 19% share of all handsets deployed in 2022.”

“Today’s work environments need reliable, secure, and flexible methods of collaboration. DECT wireless communication offers all of this for mobile workers, including those operating in sectors with challenging environments,” said James Wong, Vice President Product Management at Mitel. “With the launch of the 700d series, Mitel continues to innovate by providing unique DECT solutions that deliver over-air handset software upgrades, custom configurations, advanced security protocols, and excellent audio quality.”

“We have been accompanying our customers on their digital transformation journey for over 25 years and we are delighted that Mitel chose us as one of the first to test and use the new 700d DECT phones in real conditions,” said Karsten Huhn, Operations Manager, HEIN Netzwerktechnik GmbH. “The new 700d handsets include truly valuable features. In use, they proved their high-quality and robustness and we appreciate the user-friendly design with its large screen, brightness, and enhanced readability .”
