[cisco-voip] Cisco 6945 Gigabit IP phones

[Erich Novak]

Yep, but they only work with IOS 15.2 up - so no support on ISR G1 routers.
Only tested them with SCCP.

Some of the Bugs of the 894x phones should be resolved with 9.2.3 coming this month, including custom backgrounds…

the 6945 is a pretty good phone, had also some bugs like delayed audio where you got 1-2 seconds dead air on a new call, but this is resolved in the newest firmwares. Biggest drawback is as Dennis mentioned the small display. Since the 6900s do not need rollover with firmware > 9.2 they are otherwise great phones in my oppinion, IF you don't need a big screen, a builtin vpn client and stuff…

I personally like the 694x phones, but hate the 894x phones with current firmware, but you get a lot of features with the 8945 phones like builtin video and bluetooth.
But watch out with the 694x and 894x phones – features like IPMA are still not supported! Better check with unified reporting if the features you need are supported with those phones.

I would try to get my hands on the phones that match your budget and do a hands on test…

good luck!

The 6900’s and the 8945 will have little caveats and painpoints that will drive you up the wall. I know the 8945’s are improving with new firmware releases, but still laggy interface, and no custom background. The screen on the 6900’s is so limiting. I love the backlit color screens.

Hello,

We are planning to purchase 6945 phones for our 3500 employees since we have a lot of gigabit users. The 7945 gigabit phone are too costly for our budget. Our strategy is to go gigabit for all users.

Do many of you have experience with these models? Are they working okay? Quality okay….

We’ve purchased one and tested it. It has more features than the 7911 we are currently using and it sustained 500Mb of traffic.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Daniel.
