The new gigabit-enabled IP Phone is significant because it allows gigabit speeds to be brought to the desktop via a single cable. Rather than have multiple high-speed network cables run to a workstation - one for an IP phone, one for a computer, and so on - the cable for the phone can be daisy-chained to offer gigabit speeds to multiple devices.

Several of the devices are available today, with the remainder scheduled to be released in December.
