Hybrid work in the U.S. has boomed since 2020, with 53% of remote-capable employees now working in hybrid environments, up from 18% in May 2020, according to Gallup. During the COVID pandemic, I utilized Microsoft Teams and VoIP technology while working remotely to ensure everybody could stay connected and collaborate, whether in meetings, documents, or one-on-ones. It was essential to keep things âbusiness as usualâ during an unprecedented time. Below, we explore how to build the perfect match for hybrid workplaces using Microsoft Teams-compatible devices from leading brands like Yealink, AudioCodes, Ribbon, and Patton.
Utilizing Microsoft Teams-certified devices ensures you can use every tool and feature with ease. For example, the Yealink MP58 Microsoft Teams IP Phone has a large 7â touchscreen display tailored to the Microsoft Teams interface. This allows you to get to whatever Teams tool you need with the touch of a button. Additionally, this phone is enhanced with HD Voice and delivers some of the best audio quality.
Yealink also offers several headsets that are designed specifically for use with Microsoft Teams. For example, the Yealink WH64-HYBRID-DUAL-UC for Microsoft Teams Wireless DECT & Bluetooth Dual Headset -1208685 offers seamless connectivity for professional communication. With dual-ear coverage, superior noise cancellation, and a touchscreen base, it ensures clear audio and a premium user experience.
AudioCodes also offers a high-end IP phone designed specifically for use and integration with Microsoft Teams. The C470HD Microsoft Teams Touch PoE IP Phone is a Total Touch native Microsoft Teams executive business phone, featuring an intuitive design with a graphical portrait 5.5â color touch screen and a virtual keyboard.
When it comes to video conferencing, it is crucial to have clear and reliable audio and video communication. AudioCodes RXVCam70 PTZ Camera is certified for use with Microsoft Teams, boasting a 12x optical zoom close-up lens, a 119Âș DFOV panoramic lens, and a built-in mic array. It is ideal for any conference room or office setting.
Controlling and managing a hybrid work environment can also be challenging. This is why utilizing cloud infrastructures and management tools can help! Ribbon Communicationsâ Session Border Controllers offer management via their EdgeView Service Control Center allowing for central management and comprehensive VoIP network insights and tools.

The Ribbon EdgeMarc 6000 1PRI Port SBC is perfect for cloud communications, featuring built-in LTE for unmatched WAN resiliency.

Patton is another company that specializes in Enterprise Session Border controllers that are certified for use with Microsoft Teams. This includes the SmartNode 5570 eSBC which offers 1 or 2 T1/E1/PRI ports with cutting-edge protection. Up to 16 SIP-to-SIP calls can be transcoded, and the high-definition G.722 codec and QoS ensure the best speech quality over IP.
As well as the SmartNode 5600 eSBC which in addition to delivering security features and SIP-normalization function, also functions as an edge access router, a Quality-of-Service (QoS) management node, and a network monitoring agent.
