The ability to maintain SIP handsets as physical endpoints provides flexibility for shared spaces, high-compliance industries, and global deployments.

Availability

Native support is available globally now for select device models. Current Mitel phone users in the US can also upgrade and purchase new phones for the latest features and improved performance.

Further, to reinforce global supply chain stability, Mitel recently announced the relocation of its IP phone production to Germany, in partnership with Gigaset, leveraging the country’s engineering and manufacturing automation and quality. In addition to shortened lead times for European customers, this provides additional assurance for 8x8 and Mitel customers operating in regulated industries and geographies.
