London, UK – 9^th May 2012 – In today’s world, billions of devices connect and communicate an abundance of data about a person’s location, activities and availability. Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) is opening up a tremendous opportunity for developers to utilize information like where a person is and what he or she is doing with the launch of a full-scale developer community. Developers will now be able to create “context-aware” applications that will be able to anticipate or take action, to provide better experiences through the information generated by intelligent Plantronics devices with Smart Sensor™ technology.

Developers can access the tools needed to create smarter, context aware applications through the Plantronics Developer Connection (PDC).  By accessing the information from Plantronics devices developers can incorporate presence, availability, proximity, and caller information into their existing applications or create a new segment of smarter applications. Incorporating this information will result in more intelligent and intuitive human to device experiences.

The PDC includes technical resources, forums and application programming interfaces (APIs) through a new software developer kit (SDK) for Windows® environments. The PDC is also a community for developers to connect with Plantronics technologists and learn more about the software possibilities enabled by Plantronics devices.

“Technology is about making our business lives more productive and our personal lives more enjoyable. The next wave of productivity will be driven by contextually aware applications that speed business processes and workflows” said Joe Burton, senior vice president Engineering and Development and CTO, Plantronics. “Plantronics developed smart headsets and devices with the capability to collect contextual information and present it to applications in an easy to integrate manner. We are opening API’s to this information so the software development community can create innovative and useful applications that leverage contextual intelligence from Plantronics.”

CeBIT, Hanover, Germany – 6^th March 2012 – Today, Plantronics Inc. (NYSE: PLT) is extending its lead in enterprise headset innovation by announcing partnerships with three Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), to enhance communications and collaboration for mobile professionals.

Combining the premier audio technology, intuitive design excellence and advanced intelligence of the Voyager™ PRO UC SmartSet and the Spokes™ software platform, together with ISVs’ real-time communication applications, Plantronics is delivering on the promise of context-enriched work experiences.

Smart Sensors For Smarter Software Apps

The Voyager PRO UC is the first of a new generation of intelligent headsets incorporating sensors that detect aspects of the user’s physical world. By utilizing the Plantronics Spokes software developer kit (SDK), application vendors can incorporate this contextual intelligence into their applications to know when the headset is worn, user proximity to their PC, mobile call state, and with whom the user is talking. This new level of user awareness is a boon to application developers who want to create user experiences that directly translate to improved productivity and more effective business workflows.

“According to Gartner, the three technology forces of mobile, cloud, and context are together shaping the future of our business and personal lives.  Plantronics has long invested in mobile with a portfolio of intelligent products that support consumer and professional use. What’s new today is the introduction of how business applications are leveraging Plantronics contextual intelligence to deliver better collaboration experiences and more reliable workflow routing”, said Jeffrey Siegel, Vice President Strategy for Plantronics.

Five9, PGi and Sococo are among the first software vendors to incorporate Plantronics contextual intelligence into their communications platforms, creating smarter applications that deliver better collaboration experiences and optimize workflows to improve customer satisfaction.

Plantronics Spokes™ Software  – Adding Value to Communications

Spokes™ is Plantronics’ PC-based software platform that provides headset-enabled call control, real-time media management, and serves as the contextual intelligence broker between the headset and ISV applications. All three of the ISV applications described below utilize Spokes™ to incorporate contextual intelligence into their functions.

Sococo will showcase the integration of Plantronics’ contextual intelligence in Sococo Team Space, a disruptive social communications service targeting businesses.  Sococo’s virtual office interface allows co-workers—across locations—to engage spontaneously through multichannel communications, including voice, video, content sharing and instant messaging. Team Space users who wear a Voyager PRO UC wireless headset benefit not only from instant-on wideband audio/HD voice, but also a ‘smart’ presence indicator that automatically updates when they remove the headset or leave their desk.

“Sococo unites work teams—to get work done faster and better—by blurring the boundary between physical and online presence. Plantronics’ contextual intelligence provides a natural extension to our model of social awareness, where co-workers can easily see who’s available to communicate in real-time,” said Chris Wheeler, President of Sococo, Inc.

Five9, the leading provider of cloud-based contact centre software has integrated Plantronics’ Spokes™ software into its Automated Call Distribution (ACD) call routing functionality. Now, customer calls are more intelligently routed based on the contextual presence information of each Subject Matter Expert, for an improved customer experience and operational efficiency.  For example, if an agent is responding to an urgent customer request on their mobile phone, or moves away from their station, the Plantronics headset will automatically set the Five9 agent status to not ready, ensuring that all calls are routed to the best available agent.

“Companies must work harder on a daily basis to improve customer satisfaction as their customers demand more,” said Mike Burkland, CEO of Five9.  “As a leader in the contact centre space, Five9 delivers unprecedented improvements in agent productivity, driven by the business flexibility of our cloud-based platform. By leveraging our comprehensive APIs to add automated contextual presence, including agent’s mobile phones, we have achieved an industry first, and delivered even greater productivity improvements, freeing up critical agent resources to focus on building customer loyalty and trust.”

PGi, a global leader in virtual meetings, is using Plantronics Spokes™ software to enhance its innovative iMeet^® cloud-based video conferencing solution. With iMeet, PGi offers rich video meetings that are simple, personal and mobile – allowing users to connect anywhere, anytime from their desktop, tablet or mobile device. With the addition of contextual intelligence provided by the Voyager PRO UC wireless headset, iMeet will be able to instantly determine when a user can escalate an in-office mobile phone call to a more engaging iMeet video meeting online – and manage a frictionless transition when desired.

“With the upcoming Spokes integration, iMeet users will be able to effortlessly upgrade an ad hoc mobile phone call to a richer, more productive iMeet experience,” stated Sean O’Brien, EVP of Strategy & Communications at PGi. “We believe this new integrated solution will expand how knowledge workers use online collaboration tools, which today are typically reserved for scheduled meetings.”

In addition to the award-winning Voyager® PRO UC, Plantronics Spokes™ software also supports many of Plantronics’ most popular products, including the Savi® office series, and wired Blackwire® devices.

CeBIT, Hanover, Germany – 6^th March 2012 – Plantronics Inc. (NYSE: PLT) is the first headset company to be awarded the new TCO Certified Edge Headsets Certification for the Savi® 740 and the Savi® 440 office wireless headsets. This marks the third time Plantronics has been the first headset company to receive TCO Headsets Certification and illustrates its commitment to enhanced acoustic quality and protection, corporate social responsibility and exceptional ergonomics.

TCO Certification is a global scheme designed to advance sustainable IT by influencing the manufacture, use and recycling of IT products to reflect environmental, social and economic responsibility. Baseline TCO certified headsets meet stringent criteria for protection against sound spikes and other acoustic measures. The new, more demanding TCO Edge Certification is the latest headset certification program for enhanced acoustic limiting, the automatic suppression of loud noises to a more comfortable level (102dBA). It takes acoustic protection to the next level by requiring headsets to also limit sudden increases in volume, which can cause discomfort, fatigue and potential hearing loss with repeated exposure. These unwanted noises typically originate from external sources and can cause sudden and unexpected increase in volume, startling the user.

Committed to Corporate Social Responsibility and Simply Smarter Communications™

The first headset to receive the new TCO Certified Edge designation is Plantronics’ Savi® 740, the lightest DECT™ headset on the market, allowing the office professional to manage calls coming in from a PC, desk phone, or mobile phone; seamlessly switching between all three as required. It provides the user with up to 120 metres roaming range, and the three headset wearing styles: over the ear, over the head, and behind the neck give users a variety of options for maximum long-term comfort and flexibility. The new TCO Certified Edge designation ensures that Plantronics’ Savi® 740 includes advanced hearing protection features to prevent unnecessary strain, stress and discomfort.

“Everything we do as a company is about innovation and top quality audio in headsets,” says Philip Vanhoutte, SVP and EMEA Managing Director at Plantronics. “The Plantronics Savi 740 headset is the first TCO Certified Edge headset complying with such demanding enhanced acoustic limiting and we are proud to receive this prestigious award from TCO Development. Being the first headset company awarded, three times in a row, is a true testament to our commitment to environmental compliance at the highest level.”

Plantronics was the first headset company to achieve the initial TCO certification – TCO’07 – in March 2007 and the first awarded with its new TCO Certified Headsets 2.0 announced in 2011. Over 100 Plantronics headsets have been TCO certified, which is the largest amount of headsets certified in TCO Development history.

“Plantronics shares our drive to push the boundaries of sustainable IT and ensure that each life cycle is carried out with regard to environmental, social and economic responsibility,” comments Sören Enholm, CEO at TCO Development. “Our main goal is to make it easy to choose IT products designed to meet these sustainability objectives, and Plantronics does just that by demonstrating excellence in ergonomics, environment, plus with our new Edge Certification: enhanced acoustic limiting.”

TCO Certified Edge will shortly be available on other products in the Savi® 700 series and the CS500 series. The Blackwire® 435 is also undergoing laboratory assessment and environmental audit prior to be issued with TCO certification.

Pricing and Availability

The Savi 700 series is priced from £261 to £289 / 349€ to 379€ ex VAT, depending on headset wearing style. The Savi 440 is £199 / 249€ ex VAT, the Blackwire 435 is £79 / 99€ ex VAT and the CS500 series is priced at £199 / 269€ ex VAT. All headsets are available now.

London, UK – 17^th January 2012 – A new study conducted by Plantronics (NYSE:PLT) and the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic reveals that office-based workers have seen significant reductions in back and shoulder pain by wearing a headset for calls.

In just 4 weeks, half of the participants who suffered neck ache and headaches at the start of the study (54% and 44% respectively) reported that they no longer experienced any pain. The study also showed a reduction in shoulder and upper back pain, with a decrease in the number of days during which they experienced the pain and their pain level.*

The demands of modern office working environments and practices can lead to increases in health problems at work, in particular back pain and musculoskeletal problems (including neck and shoulder pain) – which are commonly identified as being among the top three causes of long term sickness absence of European workers (1) – and costing approximately 2.5% of GDP (£13billion in the UK) each year in benefits, treatments and lost production (2).

Dr. Brian Hammond, CEO at National UK charity BackCare says “We see many office workers with acute neck and back problems which could have been prevented by taking simple measures at work – such as using a headset for calls and having ergonomic chairs and desks. This is a serious and preventable matter, by giving employees the right tools to support their daily tasks, everyone will benefit.”

“It’s clear from this study that small changes to the workplace, such as equipping all staff with a headset, creates a healthier working environment thereby reducing problems of sickness and absence.”  Norma Pearce EMEA HR Director at Plantronics comments “The call this New Year is to employers to embrace new technologies and products that will support their staff and business in the long-term.”

Plantronics has found that the amount of time spent on audio conference calls (3) is increasing, resulting in today’s office-based professional spending more hours on the phone than ever before. Coupled with increases in work intensity over the last two decades (4) across Europe, many businesses are facing problems of absenteeism as employees are taking time off work due to work-related stress and ill-health.

“Our study shows that workers wearing headsets reported a reduction in head, neck and shoulder symptoms – often caused by using a handset and cradling it between the neck and shoulder whilst multi-tasking on calls,” says Sharon Docherty, PhD, Researcher at the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic. “These observations support the use of headsets in an office environment where workers are routinely multi-tasking while speaking on the phone. For work routines that allow the user to get up and walk around in the office, this means increased health benefits from changing positions and being able to move the upper and lower body more freely– all whilst the user is still able to concentrate on the phone conversation.”

The health benefit of headsets are clear – there is a measureable risk for anyone using the phone for as little as two hours a day and by using a headset, phone-related problems can be reduced and even eradicated. Additionally, a wireless headset allows for fluid communications and actions and gives users a greater freedom of movement, meaning strenuous movement and unnatural postures, such as cradling the handset between neck and shoulder, and having to stretch to reach for things are eliminated. Participants are able to multi-task more effectively and in the study almost 60% admitted to finding the headset useful or very useful.

The health needs of the new over-50 work generation must also be considered in terms of ergonomic and acoustic requirements. The recent increase in the proportion of people over 55 planning to work beyond state pension age – from 40% to 71%(5) – means changes in the workplace need to be made to cope effectively with an ageing workforce.
