Selecting a conference telephone largely depends on the size of the space where it will be used. In the following tables, this is indicated by the room size and number/reception radius of the phone's microphones. The microphones pickup angle (360° omnidirectional or 120° unidirectional) can also matter. However, larger spaces can be accommodated by external microphones (bought separately) that enhance the phone's reception range.

* The Yealink CP935W is a battery-powered DECT (wireless) phone that pairs with the Yealink W70B, W80, or W90B base stations for a wireless coverage of up to 165 feet indoors. The phone itself is cordless and does not support POE (the base station it connects to does support POE.) The battery provides up to 15-20 hours of talk time and 75-160 hours of standby time, depending on if Wi-Fi or DECT connectivity is used.
