Product overview

The Cisco Unified IP Phone 6901 is a trimline-style phone that supports two incoming calls with integrated call-waiting functionality. It features dedicated, fixed keys for essential tasks such as holding a call, redialing, and managing call waiting. For more advanced operations like transferring calls or setting up conferences, users can utilize the hook-switch, mirroring the intuitive experience of traditional analog telephony.

To ensure the device fits into diverse professional environments, Cisco offers the 6901 in two distinct colors—charcoal and arctic white—along with two handset styles, slimline and standard. The phone is highly versatile in terms of placement, as it can be easily mounted on a desk using a foldable footstand or attached to a wall using standard third-party wallplates. Additionally, businesses have the option to co-brand the device by inserting a custom logo under the plastic cover, providing a professional and personalized touch to the hardware.
