Session Abstract

The Microsoft Teams SIP Gateway enables certified SIP devices to connect to the Microsoft Teams platform. A lot has changed and evolved since the technology was introduced in December 2021. In addition to the familiar SIP IP phones, we can now easily connect DECT environments, analog devices and paging systems to Microsoft Teams. I have successfully implemented the Microsoft Teams SIP Gateway in several customer projects and would like to share my knowledge and experience with you. In this session, you will get an overview of the current state of the Microsoft Teams SIP Gateway. Which devices are currently supported, which features do you get when you connect your devices via the Teams SIP Gateway and what you have to consider.
