If you have been shopping for a headset, you would notice that some headsets are labeled as âNCâ or âUNCâ. What do they mean? Letâs find out!
âNCâ stands for âNoise Cancellation, and âUNCâ stands for âUltra Noise Cancellationâ.
Which one is for you? It depends on the environments you want to use these headsets in.
For example, if you are planning on using your headset in a very loud office environment, then an Ultra Noise Cancellation (UNC) headset would be an ideal option. UNC headsets are designed to pick up only sounds very close to your mouth and they eliminate literally all background noises.Â
However, if you are a multitasker looking for a headset that can allow you to focus on what you need to accomplish while being aware of your surroundings, a regular Noise Cancellation (NC) headset will do the trick!
Check out some of the popular options:

VoIP Supply is a new distribution partner for SkyAMP. SkyAMP strives to provide resilient online connectivity that would continue to operate without failure, even under adverse conditions such as severe weather and local power availability.
SkyAMP devices are constructed from a mix of metallic materials and assembled under our patented process so that they function similarly to solid-state electronics, harnessing the power of physics, radio waves, and inherent qualities of the materials to make for an effective signal booster.
The main differentiator is that SkyAMP devices require no electricity or batteries! These devices are not dependent on power or wires. More important benefits include:
What can SkyAMP solve? SkyAMP devices can be applied to many scenarios including:
There are five options to choose from based on your business needs:

Q1: I am concerned about spending such a large amount of money on a product that is already obsolete because it does not support WiFi 6 or 6E or 5G cellular. And with a product that has no firmware, it is clearly not upgradable.
A: There is a tremendous amount of infrastructure out there currently using 2.4GHz WiFi, and we have heavy demand for it, which is why that has been our initial focus. 4G LTE is also the most heavily used data out there, and also has a large demand. That being said, we do have models in R&D for 5G Cellular and 5GHz WiFi that are quickly approaching production/release
Q2: Is there a demo program or a trial program or money back guarantee so that we can see this in action without risk?
A: We do have a pilot program in place, contact your VoIP Supply account manager to make this arrangement.
Q3: Is there a limit to how many devices can be enhanced at once?
A: No, the only limit is what youâre connecting to. As an example if you have an Access Point capable of supporting 64 devices, and because of the SkyAMP you now can reach 100 devices, the SkyAMP would not hinder youâŚbut your Access Point would.
Q4: How come the Pro does not include DECT?
A: The Pro was designed prior to the DECT being released. The DECT was released earlier this year at the demand of VoIP manufacturers. A new Pro model will be coming that supports DECT, as well as 5G and 5GHz WiFi. We have numerous models in R&D.
Organizations often need to segment speakers into groups, which are often referred to as zones. However, referring to both analog zone controllers as zones or multicast groupings as zones can cause confusion.
To help you clarify the concepts, we will discuss the key differences between multicast zoning and legacy channels in this article. Letâs check them out:
The multicast functionality allows a sender to push a message to the network for specific multicast zones. The multicast receivers are configured to listen to broadcasts for any of their pre-configured zones, and automatically play messages that coordinate to that respective zone.
Algoâs 8301 Paging Adapter is a great device to use as the multicast sender for large deployments. Check out a typical set up below:
As self-amplified devices with multicast capability, this allows organizations to group IP speakers independent of an amplifier.
On the other hand, in legacy paging systems, speaker groups are often created with the assistance of zone controllers and zone amplifiers. Therefore, legacy zoning typically occurs behind the amplifier.
Since these legacy systems are not network-based, the groups are determined by the wiring configuration, Algo refers to the speaker grouping as channels.
Can legacy systems grouped behind an amplifier be integrated into an IP system? Absolutely! Thatâs where Algoâs 8373 IP Zone Paging Adapter comes into play. As a SIP endpoint, the 8373 will register to the IP system seamlessly while forming a bridge to the legacy amplifier and speaker groupings. See an example below:
Do I have to choose one or the other? A third option is to go hybrid! You can do a combination of both using multicast zones and legacy channels.
Here are the reasons to create a hybrid environment:
One popular option is to choose to deploy the 8373 IP Zone Paging Adapter to retain legacy grouping via channels as well as register the 8373 device as a multicast sender or receiver.
