Cisco 840S IP Phone - Cordless, Wi-Fi & Bluetooth

The Cisco 840S IP Phone delivers enterprise-grade voice over IP in a cordless, handheld form factor, designed to boost productivity across healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and other demanding environments. As a member of the Cisco Wireless Phone 800 Series, this device combines mobility with a robust application platform, enabling third-party apps that extend functionality beyond traditional telephony. Staff can stay connected on the floor, in patient care areas, or on the factory line while maintaining secure, high-quality communications that integrate seamlessly with Cisco Unified Communications Manager and other Cisco collaboration ecosystems. Whether coordinating patient care, assisting customers, or managing inventory, the 840S supports fast, reliable, and secure conversations wherever work happens.

• Wireless mobility for on-the-spot communication: The cordless design empowers teams to communicate without returning to a desk, enabling rapid coordination across large campuses, busy retail floors, and active manufacturing environments. With thoughtful roaming capabilities and optimized battery life, staff experience uninterrupted conversations as they move between hotspots, patient rooms, cash counters, and production zones. This mobility reduces wait times, shortens response cycles, and helps frontline workers stay focused on core tasks rather than tethered to a fixed workstation.
• Enterprise-grade voice quality and security: Expect clear, consistent audio with advanced noise reduction, echo cancellation, and robust signaling that maintains call quality in challenging environments. The 840S is engineered for secure enterprise communications, delivering encryption and policy controls that align with corporate security standards. By combining dependable audio with strong security, this cordless IP phone supports compliant communications for healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and other risk-conscious industries.
• Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth integration for flexible accessories: Built-in Wi‑Fi enables simple, network-friendly deployment without cabling constraints, while Bluetooth support allows pairing with headsets, earbuds, and other accessories. This dual connectivity approach gives users the freedom to choose the most comfortable and productive workflow, whether they’re handling patient inquiries, guiding store associates, or monitoring production lines while on the move.
• Application platform for third-party apps: The Cisco Wireless Phone 800 Series delivers a versatile application platform that can host and integrate third-party apps tailored to your environment. Healthcare teams can use clinical apps for patient data lookup or nurse call integration; retail associates can access inventory and customer management tools on the fly; manufacturers can run workflow and asset-tracking apps on the device. This extensibility supports faster decision-making and more efficient processes, all within a familiar Cisco UC ecosystem.
• Rugged, business-focused design and all-day endurance: The 840S is built to handle the rigors of everyday enterprise use, with a comfortable hold, intuitive keypad, and efficient charging options. Its ergonomic design supports prolonged use during long shifts, while a combination of battery efficiency and optional docking stations helps ensure the device remains ready when needed most. The result is a reliable handheld tool that improves staff productivity without compromising durability or ease of use.
