What's the maximum room size for the SoundStation IP 7000?

Twenty feet of microphone pickup from the chassis alone, expandable to forty-plus feet with optional Polycom HDX satellite expansion microphones. Designed for boardrooms and executive briefing centers.

Is the SoundStation IP 7000 still supported on voip.army?

Yes — UCS firmware 4.0.15 on our legacy provisioning VLAN. Provisioning stays isolated; SIP signaling and call audio are normal. Expansion microphones also work.

What's the difference between IP 6000 and IP 7000?

The IP 7000 has a larger chassis, longer mic pickup range, supports expansion microphones, and adds the Siren 22 codec for 22 kHz audio bandwidth. The IP 6000 is sized for rooms up to ten people without expansion.

What's the modern equivalent?

The Poly Trio 8800 — touch interface, USB/Bluetooth for personal-device calls, supports up to two satellite expansion microphones, IEEE 802.3at PoE+. Roughly $350 more than a refurbished IP 7000.

Why we still support the SoundStation IP 7000.

The SoundStation IP 7000 was Polycom's boardroom conference phone — released 2007, EOL'd 2018. Twenty-foot microphone pickup range with the chassis alone, expandable to forty-plus feet with optional satellite expansion microphones. The audio path supported the Polycom Siren 22 codec, which offered 22 kHz audio bandwidth — full studio-grade voice fidelity, useful for music-on-hold or audio-conference recording.

It's the conference phone we shipped to boardrooms, executive briefing centers, and any space where the table seated more than twelve and a single chassis-mounted mic wasn't going to pick up everyone. The optional Polycom HDX expansion mics (sold separately) plug into the back of the unit and extend pickup down a long table.

For existing fleets, the IP 7000 and any attached expansion mics onboard onto voip.army's legacy provisioning VLAN. For new orders the modern equivalent is the Poly Trio 8800 — touch interface, USB/Bluetooth pairing, supports up to two satellite expansion microphones, IEEE 802.3at PoE+.

How it works on voip.army.

The SoundStation IP 7000 runs Polycom UCS firmware 4.0.15 — the last release that supports this hardware. It onboards onto voip.army the same way as any current phone, just on our legacy provisioning VLAN because the phone's TLS stack predates modern web standards. Call quality is normal SRTP.

60s

Time from plug-in to first call

Boot, fetch config from our provisioning server, register, ready. About one minute on a normal internet connection.

SIP accounts on one phone

Run up to 1 simultaneous SIP registration. Each line key has a dual-color LED for status.

Per-device onboarding fees

Bringing your own? Send us the MAC, factory-reset, plug in. No charge to add it to the fleet.

4.0.15

UCS firmware version

Last firmware Polycom shipped for this phone (2018). Still works perfectly on voip.army; provisions over our isolated legacy VLAN because the phone can't speak TLS 1.2.

100m

Ethernet to the workstation

PC pass-through port on the back lets you daisy-chain a single ethernet drop to phone and computer.

802.3af

PoE class

Class 2. Any 802.3af-compliant switch from the last 15 years will power it without issue.
