In today’s fast-paced world, being able to immediately access and distribute information throughout the enterprise means all the difference between success and failure. From strategic cus-tomer information and up-to-the-minute inventories to vital patient updates and new learning and training materials, data is the foundation of today’s knowledge-based organization.

But there are times when even the most sophisticated data net-work isn’t enough. Often there’s the urgent need to exchange verbal information or discuss a problem in detail. Spectrum24 from Symbol Technologies is the industry’s first fully integrated voice and data wireless local area network. Combined with NetVision network appliances, Spectrum24 ensures information is managed quickly and reliably with the added ability to verbally respond to requests and queries. The result: Organizations are able to provide better service at reduced costs while increasing associate effectiveness and productivity.

Merging Voice and Data on the Same Wireless LAN

Spectrum24, Symbol’s innovative and awarding-winning wireless LAN, seamlessly merges voice over a single data network for a complete communications solution. Our selection of NetVision voice-over-IP network appliances are based on the ITU H.323 standard for multimedia communications - they convert analog voice into compressed digital packets that are sent via TCP/IP protocol over the Spectrum24 wireless LAN and standard networks.

Combining Voice and Data for Increased Productivity,
