CP965-TEAMS Yealink Touch-Sensitive HD Conference Phone

Yealink CP965: The Premier IP Conference Phone

In the modern hybrid workplace, clear, reliable, and intuitive conference room audio is non-negotiable. The Yealink CP965-TEAMS stands as a cornerstone of professional collaboration, engineered specifically for Microsoft Teams Rooms to deliver an exceptional meeting experience. More than just a phone, it is a sophisticated touch-sensitive conference system designed for medium to large meeting spaces, boardrooms, and executive offices. With its expansive 7-inch capacitive touchscreen, high-definition audio, and seamless Microsoft Teams integration, the CP965 transforms any meeting room into a powerful hub for seamless local and remote collaboration.

Core Architecture and Microsoft Teams Optimization

The CP965-TEAMS is not a generic SIP phone with a Teams sticker; it is a native Microsoft Teams device. This fundamental design principle ensures complete interoperability, reliable performance, and access to the full spectrum of Teams features directly from the console.

Native Microsoft Teams Rooms Experience

The device runs the Microsoft Teams Rooms on Android platform, offering a familiar and consistent interface for all users. This native integration guarantees compatibility with meeting join, content sharing, roster viewing, and in-meeting controls like mute, video, and participant management. It receives automatic firmware updates through the Teams admin center, ensuring security and feature parity.

Powerful Processing and Connectivity

At its heart, the CP965 is powered by a robust quad-core processor and dedicated audio DSP (Digital Signal Processor). This hardware combo is crucial for handling the computational load of real-time audio processing, noise suppression, and running the Teams interface smoothly. Gigabit Ethernet provides the necessary backbone for high-quality audio, ensuring zero dropouts and crystal-clear transmission even during data-intensive tasks like content sharing.

Dedicated Audio DSP for Flawless Performance

The dedicated audio DSP is the unsung hero. It offloads all acoustic processing from the main CPU, focusing exclusively on delivering Yealink's exceptional audio technologies like Opus codec support, advanced echo cancellation, and automatic gain control. This results in consistently excellent audio quality without taxing the system's primary resources.

Unmatched Audio Fidelity and Acoustic Design

Yealink's heritage in professional audio is fully realized in the CP965. Every acoustic component is engineered to capture and reproduce human voice with stunning clarity, making every participant sound natural and present, whether they are in the room or across the globe.

High-Definition Voice and Wideband Audio

The system supports wideband audio and the premium Opus codec, delivering sound that far surpasses traditional telephony. With a frequency response that captures the full richness of the human voice, meetings become more engaging and less fatiguing. Listeners can distinguish subtle vocal nuances, leading to better understanding and more effective communication.

Intelligent Microphone Array and Pickup Technology

The CP965 features a precisely calibrated 8-microphone linear array. This array enables sophisticated beamforming technology, which creates dynamic audio pickup zones.

Beamforming and Voice Tracking

The beamforming technology actively "steers" the microphone's sensitivity toward the person speaking while suppressing sound from other directions. Some versions incorporate voice tracking, which can visually indicate on the touchscreen who is speaking, a invaluable feature in larger meeting rooms.

Full Duplex and Acoustic Shield Technology

The phone operates in true full duplex, allowing for natural, simultaneous conversation without clipping. Coupled with Yealink's Acoustic Shield technology, it uses intelligent algorithms to identify and suppress persistent background noises like keyboard clicks, fan hum, or paper shuffling, ensuring only clear speech is transmitted.

The Interactive Touch-Sensitive Console

The 7-inch capacitive touchscreen is the command center of the CP965, offering an intuitive and responsive interface that reduces meeting friction and empowers users.

High-Resolution Capacitive Touch Display

The large, high-resolution display provides vibrant visuals of the meeting roster, shared content, and call controls. The capacitive touch layer ensures fast, accurate, and multi-touch responses, similar to using a modern tablet. This interface is instantly familiar, requiring minimal training for anyone accustomed to a smartphone or Teams application.

Dynamic In-Meeting Controls and Content Viewing

During a meeting, the screen becomes a dynamic control panel. Users can easily mute/unmute the room, adjust volume, view all participants, raise hands, and manage recording settings. When content is shared, the screen can switch to show the presentation in high clarity, ensuring in-room participants can see the shared screen without turning away from the conference table.

Deployment and Management for IT Administrators

The CP965-TEAMS is designed for enterprise-grade deployment, offering tools that simplify large-scale rollouts and ongoing management, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership.

Centralized Cloud Management

Through the Microsoft Teams admin center, IT teams can provision, configure, monitor, and update entire fleets of CP965 devices remotely. This centralized cloud management eliminates the need to touch each physical device for routine tasks, enabling efficient scaling and consistent policy application across the organization.

Network Integration and QoS

With its Gigabit Ethernet port and support for modern networking standards like LLDP-MED and 802.1x authentication, the CP965 integrates seamlessly into complex corporate networks. IT administrators can easily implement Quality of Service (QoS) policies to prioritize conference audio traffic, guaranteeing performance even on busy networks.

Power over Ethernet (PoE+) Support

The device supports IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus), allowing it to receive both data and sufficient power through a single Ethernet cable. This dramatically simplifies installation, reduces cable clutter, and eliminates the need for a separate power outlet near the conference table.

Durability, Accessories, and Room Integration

Built for the demands of daily use in professional environments, the CP965 is both robust and flexible, capable of integrating with a wider room ecosystem.

Enterprise-Grade Build Quality

Constructed with high-quality materials, the CP965 is designed to withstand the rigors of constant use in a shared workspace. The touchscreen features durable, scratch-resistant glass, and the overall unit maintains a stable, low-profile footprint on the conference table.

Expansion and Peripheral Connectivity

While a complete system, the CP965 offers expansion possibilities. It includes ports for connecting additional wired microphone pods (like the Yealink MCA-M4/M8) to extend voice pickup in extra-large or acoustically challenging rooms. USB ports allow for connecting peripherals for added functionality.

Integration with Room Video Systems

The CP965 is often deployed as the audio core of a complete Teams Room solution. It can seamlessly integrate with certified Teams video bars (like the Yealink A20/A30) or professional video conferencing cameras, creating a unified audio/video system managed through a single interface.

Target Environments and Use Cases

The Yealink CP965-TEAMS is ideally suited for spaces where decision-making and critical conversations happen, ensuring every word is heard and understood.

Medium to Large Conference Rooms and Boardrooms

This is its primary domain. With its powerful microphone pickup range of up to 6 meters (approx. 20 feet) and expandability, it confidently covers typical boardrooms and conference rooms seating 6-14 people. The premium audio quality meets the high expectations of executive communication.

Executive Offices and Huddle Rooms

In private offices or important huddle rooms, the CP965 provides a top-tier, dedicated collaboration endpoint. Its sleek design complements professional decor, while its one-touch join functionality for scheduled meetings maximizes productivity for leaders and focused teams.

Training Rooms and Lecture Capture Environments

In environments where clear audio capture is paramount for content creation or remote learning, the CP965's intelligent microphones and noise suppression ensure the presenter's voice is recorded and transmitted with pristine clarity, minimizing post-production cleanup.
