Cisco is a byword for enterprise level business communications and has risen to the fore for IP and SIP telephony products and solutions. Apart from the software platforms from Cisco which power Networking, Sucurity, Collaboration, Data Storage and Networking analytics there is a large portolfio of end user products which provide the necessary endpoints for accessing all of these services.

IN general Cisco IP Phones use a proprietary protocol and, hence should be used solely with a Cisco platform, though the Cisco 7800 and the 8800 series can be used on other cloud based systems.
