[cisco-voip] Cisco Meraki Hosted VoIP and Phone

[Tong, Dana]

I’m a bit confused by the messaging. I get the whole Spark Call is more a full feature cloud registered UC platform, and Meraki Calling is more of a lighter version with what appears to be just dial-tone and voicemail, but why introduce new endpoints that are not compatible?

Ie why not allow 7800’s to register to Meraki and allow customers to maybe start with Meraki Call and migrate to Spark Calling if they want to add the a more fuller UC experience?

Cloud is great for home use and small business (1 to 2 phones), at least in my opinion.  Anything larger and I'd want QoS.  Internet and voice does work, just not 100% reliably.

What are people's thoughts on this?

For that matter, Spark can register 7800/8800 phones directly to it.  What do you think about that?
