CPW90

What the CPW90 adds to a CP960 conference phone

The CPW90 is a wireless expansion microphone that works as an audio input for the Yealink CP960 conference phone. The phone's own pickup suits people sitting close to it, while the CPW90 extends capture to participants at the far end of a room and sends their voices back to the phone without cables running across the table or floor.

Each microphone covers a full 360-degree range with a radius of up to 3 meters (10 feet). Its DECT wireless link reaches the CP960 from up to 20 meters away, giving the planner flexibility in where the phone sits.

Where it fits in Qatar

Consider a boardroom in West Bay with a CP960 at the centre of a long table, where presenters at the far end must be heard clearly on calls with teams in Europe or Asia. A participant seated at the end of the table can be picked up without leaning toward the phone.

A university seminar room in Education City is another fit. A lecturer moves around the room while students in the back row join the call, and a second microphone placed near them keeps their contributions audible.

A government ministry meeting room in Msheireb or a training room in the Industrial Area suits teams who work in Arabic and English side by side and join the same meeting from different corners of the room.

Planning the installation

Before ordering, confirm that every intended microphone position stays within 20 meters of the CP960. The SmartRooms Qatar team offers free site surveys and can review the layout with you on site. Place the charger cradle on a stable surface near a power point. The package includes a 0.3 m micro USB cable but does not list a power adapter, so confirm the power arrangement with the team before ordering.

Summer temperatures in Qatar often exceed 45°C, while the published storage range tops out at 40°C. Keep spare units in an air-conditioned store rather than a container or unventilated cupboard. The source data does not give an operating temperature, so ask the team to confirm the environment before installing in any room that is not air-conditioned.

Discontinued model: what to plan for

Yealink discontinued the CPW90 with effect from 30 September 2021, and new orders are no longer accepted. Under the manufacturer's end-of-life policy, the first year after end of sale includes full product support, the second to fifth years cover software bug fixes where a fix is possible, and new features are not offered. Hardware spares depend on local distributors and stock availability.

If you already run CPW90 units, plan spares early. If you are buying for a new installation, request a quote for a current equivalent or a compatible replacement, and the SmartRooms Qatar team will confirm what works with your CP960 setup.

Send us your room count, the CP960 locations and the number of units you need, then request a quote from SmartRooms Qatar. Quotations are usually returned within one working day.
