Unified communications headset from Jabra/Logitech

Later in the year, the co-branded headsets will be rolled out globally. By combining the channel reach and known brand of Logitech with the Jabra headsets, Jabra has taken an important first step in significantly expanding its presence in all relevant North American sales channels where its headsets are currently not present.

It will continue to sell its wide portfolio of branded headsets to its current channel partners and the enterprise sales team will continue to address large UC opportunities with the branded headsets.

Planning on being a leader

"The company's intention is to be a leader in the UC space and the agreement with Logitech is an important step in achieving this. We believe it will lead to more people using our headsets for their UC solutions," says Jabra's CEO Mogens Elsberg.

"Adding voice, to the UC experience, is one of the most important factors for a successful deployment and adoption of the technology. We expect that the combination of the quality headsets, the Logitech brand and channel reach will increase the awareness of UC headsets as a category to the benefit of both parties and the existing Jabra channel network," continues Elsberg.

"This collaboration with GN Netcom will enable Logitech to be a full solution provider for UC," said Gerald P Quindlen, Logitech president and CEO. "Businesses will now have a single company for a full range of UC solutions, from the meeting room with LifeSize video conferencing end points and infrastructure products, to PCs, Macs and tablets with webcams, headsets and speakerphones."
