2026-02-02 | NewstickerAvailable Now: V16 Beta 5 - Join our Test Phase!
The 5th Beta phase of V16 has just been released! Get ready for exciting new features and improvements to enhance your user experience. Take a look at the latest developments and share your feedback with us!
What to Expect with Beta 5:
- Conference Transcriptions:
The solution records a conference call, transcribes what is said and organizes the content to conveniently structure results and tasks in meeting minutes. All functions are directly accessible via the participant list of the Softphone App – from starting the transcription to creating the finished meeting post, which can be edited and posted directly in the Connect App. (You can freely choose which AI models to use.)
- innovaphone IP270 - The myApps Phone:
The large 7-inch touch display combines telephony functions and apps directly on one device. Operating the phone is intuitive and user-friendly, without requiring an extra computer. The IP270 is ideal for everyone who still wants to use a conventional telephone, but with all functions of the myApps platform.
Ideal for Versatile Business Settings:
- Video calls
- Video conferences & virtual meetings
- Switchboard
- All apps are accessible on the display
Selected partners can now test the myApps phone IP270 at a 16r1 PBX.
- Reconnect Calls for Seamless Handover & Roaming:
Phone calls remain connected without interruption when network conditions change. Calls remain active without requiring any intervention - when switching within the same network as well as switching between Wi-Fi, 5G or Ethernet, during PBX reboots or during brief service outage, for example while driving. This is of great advantage for mobile employees and commuters.
-
Screen Reader Support for Accessible Telephony:
The Softphone 5 provides comprehensive screen reader support for our phone apps (Phone App, Softphone App, RCC App). The objective is to enable users with visual impairments to access our telephony solutions without restrictions - with clear screen reader output and full keyboard operability.
- New Functions in the Switchboard App:
- E-mail notification for callback requests during an active call: A callback request via e-mail can now be created during an active call. The e-mail contains pre-stored information on the call such as name, phone number and e-mail address of the caller (if available).
- Improved search function with the Phone App / Softphone App: The search function has been optimized, and now corresponds to the search function of the Phone App & Softphone App.
- More detailed display of search functions and BLF entries: Search results are now displayed with more detailed information. Details in the BLF entry have been expanded for you to find relevant information faster.
