It also has features like intuitive directories and menus, and quick keys for access to advanced IP phone and video services. The E20 has the ability to receive multimedia presentations.

Equipped with standards-compliant video and audio, the E20 interoperates with all other standards-compliant major office communication devices from phones to video conferencing and telepresence systems. Calls from the E20 are secured with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES).
