WIRELESS AUDIO CONFERENCES - Konftel 60W Audio Conference Unit uses Bluetooth® technology to connect wirelessly to computers, mobile phones and system telephones, transforming these into unparalleled conference telephones.

 

 

Singapore, February 18, 2005 – Orange Communications Pte Ltd, the distributors for Sweden’s Konftel Audio Conferencing Systems, launches the market's first conference telephone with Bluetooth®, in Singapore.  The Konftel 60W is adapted for system telephones, mobile telephones, IP telephones and computers. Extra microphones are available for the Konftel 60W to achieve a range of up to 70 square meters. This is a new and versatile tool for the wireless office, making it even easier to hold spontaneous telephone meetings.

 

The Konftel 60W is the first conference telephone on the market and features built-in Bluetooth® technology. This means that it can be connected to all telephone and computer equipment with Bluetooth®. One of the advantages of Bluetooth® is the fact that it is wireless. The Konftel 60W does not need its own telephone line, which means no additional expense for a telephone subscription and extra connections.

 

"The current trend is towards wireless alternatives for companies, not only to avoid cables but also to make employees' communication more mobile and flexible," says Peter Renkel, managing director of Konftel Technology. "This new product is an important tool for the wireless office."

 

 

The Konftel 60W can be shared by several Bluetooth® users since it can store up to eight units. When the phone rings, the user can choose to answer the ordinary telephone or the conference telephone. The Konftel 60W is even compatible with several features offered by connected telephones. These include three-party calls, hold, voice-activated calls and redialling the latest number. The Konftel 60W can also communicate with computers via IP Softphone software, such as Skype.com, Alcatel IP Softphone and MSN Messenger. The Konftel 60W is ideal for IP telephony and Web meetings using loudspeakers.  The unit can be adapted to big and small meeting rooms with extra microphones, from a range of 30 m2 to 70 m2

 

A versatile tool

 

Cables are included for system telephones and computers lacking Bluetooth®. Cables for connection to mobile and DECT telephones are available as accessories. The Konftel 60W is easily portable and switching between users is a snap. It can even be used for units connected with Bluetooth® when simultaneously connected with cables to another unit.  

The advantage of using your mobile for telephone meetings is that it is usually handy and stores your personal address book with important phone numbers. You are even accessible on your own mobile telephone number. 

The Konftel 60W will be available through selected retailers in March 2005. The

recommended retail price is $888, and includes a two-year guarantee.
