ShoreTel Connect

[l27]

Just came across this and it made me start to wonder what is coming. So I searched and found this.

I'm on prem only and have a small installation, 2 - 220T1A's and 65 or so IP485G phones and a few IP480's. Maybe the new software release will finally make use of the USB port on the back of the phone. I just hope it doesn't require new switches or phones. Also since I am fairly new to ShoreTel would this release be a no cost upgrade with current support?

Cool, thanks for posting. It's nice to know the 4xx phones and current switches will be supported. I'm still holding out hope for a USB bluetooth receiver though, since there is a bluetooth off-hook preference in Director that does nothing...

I'd like to know more about the cloud/on prem hybrid deployment.
