I have similar experience in various equinix datacenters. I finally resorted to using a blue-tooth capable phone and bringing in my Aviation ANR headset with blootooth capabilities. It's a pricey headset for just using in a datacenter, but, I love having it in the airplane and it also works well in the datacenter. It's called a Lightspeed Zulu ANR headset. http://www.lightspeedaviation.com/content.cfm/Products/Zulu Owen On Jun 17, 2009, at 6:31 PM, Michael J McCafferty wrote:
All, I'd be OK if we were in a facility that was only average in terms of noise, but we are not. I need an exceptional phone for the data center. Something that doesn't transmit the horrible background noise to the other end, and something that is loud without being painful for the user of this phone. Cordless would be very fine, headset is excellent. Ordinary desk phone is OK... but the most important thing is that it works for clear communication. A loud ringer would great too... but if the best phone doesn't have one, I'll get an auxiliary ringer.
Does anyone have a phone model that they find to be excellent in a louder than usual data center?
