We should also be very clear that the Siren codecs are supported on the Polycom SoundStation conference phones and the VVX-1500 Business Media Phones. These codecs are not supported in the SoundPoint desk phones. The SoundPoint series support the more basic G.722 codec in the IP335/450/550/560/650/670 models.
