What is the Poly CCX EM60 side car?

It lets you add up to 60 additional programmable keys to your phone, which is ideal for users who handle a lot of calls or need quick access to contacts, functions or lines.
The Poly CCX EM60 side car features a 4.3″ color touchscreen, which displays the name and status of each programmable key. This lets you customize the keys to suit your needs, assigning functions such as speed dialing, hold, transfer, forward, park, park-and-go, call pickup group, do-not-disturb, etc., to each key. You can also create pages of keys, to access over 60 keys by sliding the screen left or right.
The Poly CCX EM60 side car is powered by the CCX phone to which it is connected, eliminating the need for an external power source. It is also compatible with the Microsoft Teams platform, which means it benefits from the same native integration and user experience as CCX phones.
