Versions

There are two primary versions of Model CA22CD: the single?receive?channel version, which is the direct replacement for Model CA12CD?S, and the new dual?receive?channel version that Poly has created for voice systems that require dual?channel headsets and adapters.

The single?channel version is Model CA22CD?SC and the dual?channel version is Model CA22CD?DC. Both of these variants are available with either DECT radios for regions like the European Union or DECT 6.0 (a.k.a. UPCS which is Unlicensed Personal Communications Services 1920? to 1930?MHz band for use in North America) radios for use in the US, Canada, and Mexico.
