What is the BuddyTalk BT110 and how is it different from other BuddyTalk products?

The BuddyTalk BT110 is an Alexa Voice Service (AVS) and Alexa Communication (ACM) enabled intelligent speakerphone and smartspeaker suitable for use in a home, office or conference room environment. With AVS, the BT110 brings you a broad range of AVS smartspeaker features such as standard Alexa questions & commands, timers, alarms, reminders, and voice-enabled control of AVS-supported IoT devices.

With ACM, the BT110 allows voice-initiated calling using InnoMedia’s internal SIP stack, as well as supporting Alexa-to-Alexa calls, drop-ins, messaging, and announcements.  A VoIP service provider’s account can be configured for both inbound and outbound calls (“BuddyTalk Calling”) throughout the service provider’s network coverage area.

The BT110 has a variety of convenient call control mechanisms: utilizing voice commands, a tablet, an integrated touch panel on the device, a smartphone app, or a standard telephone.

During calls, users can communicate either using the hands-free speakerphone, or using a smartphone or standard telephone handset for added privacy.
