Mobility in the modern workplace is becoming increasingly common and is a standard for office productivity. Flexible office spaces are becoming a trend in many industries, encouraging collaboration and the flow of ideas. When employees are given the freedom to move away from their desks for a change of scenery, both morale and productivity can increase dramatically. The way we use technology on an everyday basis has evolved to improve our collaboration with others both face-to-face and over communication endpoints. Mobile work spaces cut costs, increase collaboration, and improve communication throughout an organization. Even a communal work area of a few couches and a coffee table will allow for encounters outside of the generic cube setting that could end up generating the next big innovation.
Whether your employees are working in the office, on the road, or from home, a mobility focused communication solution from Grandstream allows for productivity wherever the user may be. Our DECT and WiFi phone solutions allow for mobile communications in any environment. Users may roam with their mobile handsets, free to take their desks and workstations on-the-go. The DP series is an affordable DECT cordless handset solution that allows users to mobilize their network. The WP820, on the other hand, is a high-end and feature-rich WiFi cordless handset providing dual-band WiFi support. These solutions are appropriate for a variety of work environments from warehouses to traditional office spaces. For price-conscious and low handset deployments, the DECT solution provides for strong connectivity when faced with sometimes thicker walls and more hazardous environments. The durable handsets paired with their base stations allow for quick push-to-talk communication between workers, increasing productivity. The WiFi phone solution allows for the wireless handsets to roam from WiFi access point to WiFi access point, requiring less infrastructure investment and a superior higher-handset solution.
The way companies do business is changing rapidly with the growth of new technology and business practices. Decisions are being made faster and require more immediate input. When employees are able to take their work space away from their cubicles, they can still be connected while moving through the office environment. Technology plays a major part in enabling mobility in the workplace. Between laptops, tablets, and cell phones, your work can move with you, keeping you productive while on-the-go. Grandstream’s mobile endpoints and WiFi access points can help a business achieve this mobility.

The GSC3510 SIP intercom offers two primary benefits to networks that it is deployed into, added security and intercom-paging capabilities. Schools, commercial spaces, and hospitals are great examples where the paging features of the device can allow for quick and straight-forward mass announcements. Desktop endpoints can be configured to quickly page through all GSC intercoms. Example use-cases for this is to request additional cashiers in a commercial business, page a specific doctor in a healthcare deployment, or make announcements throughout event spaces. The ability for the device to work as a 2-way intercom allows for quick conversations when paging/calling specific GSC units within a communications network. For example, calling a classroom to request a student to be sent to a main-office. Lastly, Grandstream’s proprietary Push-to-Talk capable devices can be configured to directly PTT through a specific or series of GSC3510 devices.
The GSC3510 also comes equipped with a 2-pin multi-purpose input that supports multitudes of peripherals. The most commonly used peripheral is a call-button or panic-button that would enable the GSC3510 to initiate a call to a predetermined endpoint, such as a security office phone or reception phone. When used with a call-button peripheral, the GSC can function as a security device to protect both in-network users and out-of-network users. Access through a facility can be controlled through an individual initiating a call through the GSC3510, or a panic-button can connect a user with security staff in the case of an emergency. Lastly, when deployed in senior-care or healthcare industries, the GSC3510 can provide an easy way for mobility-impaired users to connect with nursing and healthcare staff.
A SIP intercom isn’t always a necessary part of a unified communications deployment. However, in situations that they are needed they are almost always an integral part of the solution. The GSC3510 has an affordable price-point and a focus on powerful features. Two way audio, large pick-up distance, advanced echo cancellation and beamforming array, and integrated WiFi for light-infrastructure deployments sets this device above from the competition.
