All phones require a network drop in order to function. Model 7841, 8851, and 8865 phones may share a network drop with a single PC or printer. If no drops are available, additional costs will be incurred to install the drop before the phone will be able to function. (Please click here for more information about network drops at UAH.)
Telecommunications staff members will be happy to assist with determining the right phone for you, as well as whether a network drop will need to be installed.
To begin the ordering process, please provide a description of the use case for this phone, as well as the desired location.
