Description
The Snom M253 is a single-cell DECT bundle that pairs the M250 base station with the M53 handset. The base is powered by PoE 802.3af class 2, offers two 10/100 Ethernet ports and supports up to 10 handsets for 8 simultaneous calls. Communications are protected by SRTP, TLS 1.2, HTTPS and IEEE 802.1X network authentication. Administration relies on the LDAP directory, CSV and XML import, SRAPS, TR-069 and TR-369 provisioning, and over-the-air handset updates (SUOTA). The M53 handset has a 2.4-inch color TFT display at 240 x 320 pixels, 24 keys, hands-free mode and an antibacterial housing; its battery reaches 12 hours of narrowband talk time.

Use and tips
The M253 suits SMEs, agencies, practices, shops and administrative sites that want to equip several mobile staff without a multicell architecture: one base, up to 10 handsets, a shared directory through LDAP and remote maintenance through provisioning and OTA updates. Connect the base to a PoE switch and no power adapter is needed. If your teams work in a workshop, outdoors or in damp areas, prefer the M256 bundle with its IP67 and Bluetooth M56 handset, which lasts longer on a charge.
