Cisco Multiplatform phone
Cisco Multiplatform phone (Overview)
Voice communication is transforming: it’s becoming more unified, flexible, and integrated. Cisco multiplatform phones are now available on supported third-party operating platforms.
Multiplatform phone firmware enables the Cisco IP Phone 6800, 7800, and 8800 Series to work with approved third-party call control systems as well as with Cisco Webex®Calling. The feature set provided by this firmware is not identical to that of the firmware designed and built for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, but there are many similarities. For the remainder of this document, we will refer to firmware designed and built for use with Cisco Unified Communications Manager, as “Enterprise firmware.”
Multiplatform phone firmware can run on certain models of the 6800, 7800, and 8800 series. However, only the 7800 and 8800 series have the capability to run either MPP firmware or Enterprise firmware. If you have the appropriate license, you can migrate between the MPP or Enterprise firmware on the 7800 and 8800. Note: 7800 firmware migration requires that the 7800 model is the correct hardware version.
Here is lists of phone models that can convert from Enterprise to Multiplatform phone firmware.

How do Cisco Multiplatform phones work?
A Multiplatform phone system uses so many technology to transmit audio. Ip stands for Internet protocol, meaning your voice signal is digitized and travels over the Internet to complete the call.
A Multiplatform phone uses voice over IP technologies for placing and transmitting telephone calls over an IP network, such as the Internet, instead of the traditional public switched telephone network.
Can you use a Multiplatform phone at home?
Multiplatform phones, are the physical office phones that you can use with a Voip phone system. You have likely seen IP phones in many offices and not even realized they were Voip. Ip phones connect to your phone service via the internet, using an ethernet cable or WiFi connection.
