Figure 1. Cisco SPA 303 3-Line IP Phone
Comprehensive Interoperability and SIP-Based Feature Set
Based on SIP, the Cisco SPA 303 3-Line IP Phone with 2-Port Switch has been tested to help ensure
comprehensive interoperability with equipment from voice over IP (VoIP) infrastructure leaders, enabling service
providers to quickly roll out competitive, feature-rich services to their customers.
With hundreds of features and configurable service parameters, the Cisco SPA 303 addresses the requirements of
traditional business users while building on the advantages of IP telephony. Features such as easy station moves
and shared line appearances (across local and geographically dispersed locations) are just some of the many
advantages of the SPA 303.
The Cisco SPA 303 IP phone can also be used with productivity-enhancing features such as VoiceView Express,
and Cisco XML applications when interfacing with the Cisco Unified Communications 500 Series in SPCP mode.

Carrier-Grade Security, Provisioning, and Management
The Cisco SPA 303 uses standard encryption protocols to perform highly secure remote provisioning and
unobtrusive in-service software upgrades. Remote provisioning tools include detailed performance measurement
and troubleshooting features, enabling network providers to deliver high-quality support to their subscribers. Remote
provisioning also saves service providers the time and expense of managing, preloading, and reconfiguring
customer premises equipment.
