Melo Technology Expands Device Options: Introducing the Grandstream WP826 WiFi Handset

From Poly to Grandstream: A New Era for Melo Clients

For over 16 years, Melo Technology has proudly supported Poly (formerly Polycom, now HP Inc.) handsets. The Poly D230 (VVX D230 DECT handset) served our customers well.

However, technology never stands still. To continue delivering professional-grade communications, it’s time to take the next step.

That’s why we’re excited to announce the Grandstream WP826 WiFi-enabled cordless handset. It’s now available with any Melo voice user subscription. Existing customers can also choose to upgrade when they renew their contracts.

Why the Change?

This decision didn’t come from a boardroom presentation. It started in a colleague’s office.

Someone handed me a Grandstream handset and said: “Try this out.”

I picked it up, made a call, and instantly noticed a difference. The phone felt solid, the audio was crisp, and the battery life was impressive. My first thought was simple: “Why am I not offering this to my customers?”

That moment sparked a journey. Over several months, our team worked with Grandstream to build the resources, provisioning systems, and support needed. The result? A seamless integration into the Melo platform.

Meet the Grandstream WP826

The Grandstream WP826 isn’t just another cordless phone. It’s built for the way modern businesses operate: fast-moving, mobile-first, and always connected.

Key Features:

• Dual-band Wi-Fi 6 with advanced roaming support
• Up to 3 lines supported
• HD voice & dual MIC design with Noise Shield Technology
• Integrated Bluetooth for headsets
• 3000mAh battery, 12 hours talk time, 240 hours standby
• Configurable push-to-talk button
• USB-C fast charging port

Compared to the Poly D230, the WP826 is a leap forward in mobility, flexibility, and performance.

Options for Melo Customers

• New subscribers: The WP826 is available immediately with any committed subscription.
• Current Poly (HP) users: At contract renewal, you can upgrade to the WP826 for a WiFi-ready experience.

This ensures you’re never locked in. Instead, you always have the freedom to choose the device that fits your business best.

More Than Just a Device Expansion

For Melo, expanding into Grandstream isn’t only about adding another handset. It’s about listening to our clients, testing new solutions, and delivering reliable tools.

By offering the Grandstream WP826, we’re giving businesses a handset that matches the way they work: professional, flexible, and always connected.

Final Thought

It all started with a quick demo in a colleague’s office. Today, it represents our ongoing commitment to Canadian businesses.

Melo Technology will always make sure our customers have the best tools to succeed. That’s why we’re proud to include the Grandstream WP826 WiFi cordless handset in our offering, alongside continued support for Poly devices.
