AASTRA Telecom Model 100HT Headset Telephone

Circa Late 1990's to Early 2000's

Use Case:

Provides hands-free communication for applications like call centers, customer service desks, or home offices. It allows a user to connect a headset and use the dial pad for making, receiving, and managing calls on a standard analog phone line. It provides basic telephony functions via its keypad, including redial, flash, and hold buttons. The red "IN USE" light indicates an active line.

Historical Significance:

This device represents the ubiquitous, low-cost equipment that facilitated the rise of the modern call center industry. Its simplicity and affordability allowed businesses to rapidly deploy large numbers of attendant stations without investing in complex, proprietary PBX hardware, a key step in the evolution of business telecommunications before the dominance of VoIP systems.
