J179, Avaya J100 Series IP Phone, 2.8" Color Display, Dual-Gigabit, SIP, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Optional

The Avaya J179 is a professional IP Phone built for modern enterprise communication, ideal for distributed offices in Asia, Europe, Africa, and North America. As part of the Avaya J100 Series IP Phone family, it delivers reliable voice over IP with support for both SIP and H.323, making it suitable for mixed or transitional environments. The phone features a bright 3.5-inch color display with 320 x 240 resolution, giving users clear call status, presence information, and feature labels, which helps reduce training time for end users and support costs for distributors and integrators.

Designed for everyday power users, the J179 offers 8 line and feature keys with dual red/green LEDs and 4 context-sensitive soft keys, allowing quick access to extensions, busy lamp fields, and commonly used functions. It supports 24 programmable button slots natively and scales up to 96 with JBM24 or JEM24 expansion modules, which is ideal for reception desks, sales teams, and helpdesk operators who handle a high volume of calls. This scalability gives small and mid-sized integrators flexibility to design solutions that can grow with customer needs without replacing the base phone.

Network connectivity is ensured by dual 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet ports, so the phone and a co-located PC can share one network drop without creating a bandwidth bottleneck. The Avaya J179 supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) Class 1 and 802.3az energy-efficient Ethernet, helping enterprises and service partners lower power consumption in large deployments. For sites where PoE is not available, an optional 5 V AC power adapter can be used, giving additional freedom in legacy cabling environments.

Audio quality is a key strength of the J179. It delivers wideband audio on both handset and headset and includes a full duplex speakerphone for clear hands-free calls in open offices or meeting rooms. An integrated RJ9 headset port with Electronic Hook Switch (EHS) support allows connection of professional wired headsets, improving productivity for call center and office users. With optional J100 Wireless Module, the phone can add Wi-Fi for flexible placement and Bluetooth for wireless headsets, which is especially useful in open-plan spaces and hot-desking scenarios common across global enterprises.

Compatibility with Avaya Aura Platform 6.3 FP4+, Avaya IP Office 11.0+, and supported third-party Open SIP platforms makes the J179 a safe choice for distributors and resellers serving different market segments. It can fit into existing Avaya deployments or be introduced as a standards-based SIP endpoint in multi-vendor networks. Whether used in corporate offices, branch locations, or customer-facing areas, the J179, Avaya J100 Series IP Phone, 2.8" Color Display, Dual-Gigabit, SIP, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Optional delivers a balance of advanced features, intuitive operation, and long-term value.
