My Review on Plantronics | Voyager Legend CS


If Beats by Dre was making office headsets, this is how they would be! For about $300, Voyager Legend CS Bluetooth Headset System by Plantronics is one the hottest tech toys available.

Why is it so Hot? It lets its users communicate on their desktop/office phone and mobile phone all while using the same headset via Bluetooth connection. How much time do you spend using phones at your job? You likely have more than one headset, this system will eliminate additional headsets and using the Voyager Legend UC Base it allows you to connect all three phone usages (VoIP, mobile and desktop).



You will be amazed from its usability, outstanding audio quality and its noise cancelling technology blocking nearby voices, car horns, even wind.

Treat yourself with one and start working better!

Strategic partnership combines 3CX’s award-winning Windows-based IP PBX with beroNet’s VoIP Gateways for a fully interoperable enterprise unified communications solution.
LONDON UK and BERLIN, GERMANY, 15 JANUARY 2014 – 3CX, developer of the award-winning Windows VoIP PBX 3CX Phone System, and beroNet, a German-based gateway manufacturer, announce that through their strategic partnership, beroNet gateways are fully interoperable with 3CX Phone System, guaranteeing 3CX customers and resellers full support.
“beroNet is a highly regarded European gateway manufacturer and this cooperation allows us to offer our customers a front-line, best of breed PBX solution. This partnership provides an unwavering guarantee to all our customers and partners that 3CX Phone System is fully supported by both companies, and thus provides them with peace of mind,” said Nick Galea, 3CX CEO.
“3CX is the world’s most innovative Windows based PBX system and it’s our aim to provide our partners and customers with quality gateways to accompany this renowned UC solution. Together, beroNet and 3CX will ensure that our gateways are fully tested with 3CX Phone System before their release, thus ensuring the entire beroNet line of gateways fit in seamlessly with 3CX,” said Christian Richter, beroNet, CEO.

Guaranteed Interop between beroNet Gateways and 3CX Phone System

The 3CX and beroNet partnership provides advanced integration and full interoperability between 3CX Phone System and beroNet gateways. All firmware will be tested on 3CX Phone System before its release, giving partners and customers peace of mind. 3CX and beroNet will work together to ensure that the gateways are automatically configured with 3CX Phone System and that any interoperability issues which may occur will be solved.

Gateways – Still a Necessity

Even though VoIP is very popular, many businesses still prefer to use their existing phone lines. Some businesses may need their VoIP phone system integrated with their existing telephony equipment and fax. There is no other way to achieve this without using a VoIP gateway.
beroNet gateways are known for their high quality standards and provide 3CX Phone System users with the ability to virtualize 3CX Phone System with Hyper-V or VMware. In the event of hardware failure, 3CX Phone System continues to run and processing usage is reduced. For businesses that want to leverage SIP trunks and break free from their proprietary PBX but at the same time use their existing phone lines, beroNet gateways are the ideal solution.

Detect Under Hood Hacker Activity on Your Website

Website security means more than having a security provider that scans your site for malware or checks if your home page URL is blacklisted by Google. Just because your website doesn’t show any signs of malware infection, is not always a certitude that your website is safe. Saying that, how would you know that your website was compromised?

A hacker can find a security vulnerability or discover your admin login credentials and break into your website. Even if you are a simple blogger, without having stored customer credit card details or sensitive information on your database, it doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t be concern about hackers. Hackers have different reasons for launching attacks apart from earning money. Some of them aim to spread political or harmful messages around or they might simply not like your website and want to make you look bad. They can change the content of your website without injecting malware, so you might not even notice it. This is why you need to check your file integrity validation to make sure that your web files have not been changed without your consent.

WebsiteDefender is of the few web security providers that offer you this possibility. To ensure that you have a secure website or blog, WebsiteDefender will alert you as soon as it detects file changes that can point to hacker activity. Furthermore, it will provide you a forensic analysis in order to see all the changes a hacker made and compare them with the previous version of your files. WebsiteDefender offers other security features that boost your website security such as:
  • In depth security checks for malware.
  • Frequent checks for vulnerabilities, malware or under the hood hacker activity.
  • Email alerts on detected issues and clear instructions on how to fix them.
  • WebsiteDefender WordPress Security plugin that offers additional security checks for your WordPress installation.
Recently WebsiteDefender has introduced new features that provide automated backups and restoration of your entire website, currently tested in Beta and available upon request. WebsiteDefender is therefore one of the most comprehensive online security services available on the market at this moment of writing.

You can sign up for a WebsiteDefender account here to make sure your website or blog is highly protected against hacker attacks, malware and vulnerabilities.

It’s likely that you may come across a website that has been infected with malware. In fact, there’s even a chance that your website could be prone to hacking activity. Nowadays, hackers will target any website and blog that isn’t adequately protected. Knowing this, shouldn’t you make sure you’ve covered all the angles when it comes to securing your website?

Even if you think your website doesn’t offer hackers anything, to them, you’re still a target. Attacks happen for many reasons - some might do it for fun, while others might have dangerous intentions such as compromising your data, stealing your customer database or breaking into your bank account. Failure to properly secure your website could invite hackers in.

If you’re searching for a solution to secure your blog or website, WebsiteDefender.com will strengthen your website security. This online security service (currently free to use in Beta), helps you secure your website and blog from malware or any hacking activity.

This allows customers to easily provision and manage Grandstream phones from the 3CX Management console. It's going to be much easier to configure and set-up phone systems with this integration and ongoing management will be reduced. 3CX and Grandstream will also commit to advanced feature development and providing end-to-end support to customers, giving companies peace of mind that the complete solution is supported by both companies.

“The combined 3CX & Grandstream solution is very easy to install and manage for customers, and is a great replacement for outdated proprietary phone systems. Because both products are standards-based, customers do not get tied in with one particular vendor and companies can buy best of breed, with full confidence in the complete solution,” said Nick Galea, CEO at 3CX.

The partnership has already resulted in benefits for customers and resellers: 3CX has shipped enhanced Grandstream phone support in Service Pack 4 of 3CX Phone System 9. It is now possible to provision and manage Grandstream phones from the 3CX management console, including the ability to upgrade the firmware network wide via the 3CX management console.

Grandstream has also launched a special reseller program which allows resellers and distributors to get rebates for selling Grandstream phones with 3CX solutions. 3CX was hereby one of the first suppliers to sign on with Grandstream’s reseller program as a result of the completion of extensive testing and 3CX getting full certification to Grandstream’s entire endpoints product line.
