As the population of the mobile worker is set to increase to 1.3 billion in 2015, Jabra has introduced a new headset to work with all leading unified communications (UC) applications.

According to a new study, workers everywhere are leaving the 9-to-5 days in the office behind by working remotely, travelling and collaborating via the cloud.

Much of this increase is driven by the popularity of laptops, smartphones and tablets.

To meet the demands of the mobile worker, Jabra has announced the Jabra SUPREME UC. After introducing the Jabra SUPREME last year, a non-stereo headset to incorporate Active Noise Cancellation to block out noisy environments for the user wearing the headset, it is introducing a variant that expands the capabilities of the original product to work with all leading unified communications (UC) applications, as well as mobile phones and tablets, making wireless communication universal for individuals working from the office, home or on the road.

“As the workforce continues to move towards mobility, both inside and outside of the office, Jabra is focusing on making communicating on the go as productive and seamless as possible,” says Mogens Elsberg, CEO of Jabra. “The mobile worker is a key customer of ours, and we want to be sure we are offering products that keep them connected wherever, and however, they please.”

The Jabra headset comes equipped with a nano Bluetooth USB adapter, which makes it possible to connect to PCs and use the headset for internet calls/softphones, along with traditional mobile phone calls. Users can stay connected to both devices and switch seamlessly between the mobile phone and internet/softphone calls with the simple push of a button. The headset is pre-paired with the USB adapter, making the headset a plug-and-play solution – simply connect the adapter to a computer and immediately begin having wireless internet calls.

For years, headset-makers have focused only on noise reduction technology that avoids the transmission of background noise. Active noise cancellation, traditionally only available in high-end noise-cancellation stereo headphones, is included in the Jabra SUPREME UC and uses one dedicated microphone and an electronic chipset to generate an “anti-noise” sound, removing ambient noise heard by the person wearing the headset. This technology ensures background noise removal, whether the headset is being used on the go on a mobile phone or with a UC platform in a noisy office setting. The headset also features Noise Blackout 3.0, which dramatically reduces background noise that is transmitted to the person on the other end of the line.

  • I don’t require much from a headset but these additional options sound good. If you work remotely via the telephone it is a nice think to use.

    But you can also reduce the ambient noise around 🙂

    cheers,
