A
REASON TO STOP USING THE LOUDSPEAKER ON YOUR MOBILE PHONE.
Konftel
60W Audio Conference Unit uses Bluetooth®
technology to connect wirelessly to mobile phones, computers and system
telephones, transforming these into unparalleled conference telephones.
 Singapore,
15 July 2006 – Since its launch last year, the Konftel 60W
continues to make waves as the
market's first conference telephone with Bluetooth®
connectivity. Users are
happy that they can easily switch a private conversation on their mobile
phones over to the full duplex 360°
speaker for group participation. Most users are converts who previously
used the loudspeaker on their mobile phones for the same purpose.
Now, they are convinced that the built-in loudspeakers on their
mobile phones and standard telephones were not made for quality
conference calls. “I used
to tolerate conversations over my phone’s loudspeaker where the other
party and I had to constantly repeat ourselves because we couldn’t
hear each other clearly. Now, with the Konftel 60W, I don’t need to
compromise anymore. I enjoy clear conversations while walking about the
room, and we can have 5 to 6 people in the room conversing comfortably
with the other party on the line.”, says Konftel 60W user Edward.
Home user Raymond Woon says, “We use Skype to talk to our
daughter who’s in Australia. It used to be that we would pass the
microphone back and forth between my wife and I. Now with the Konftel
60W attached to my computer, both my wife and I can converse at the same
time with my daughter. It’s almost like having her here with us.”
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.
As user Edward says, “When I want to hold a telephone
conference, I don’t have to go looking for a room that has a direct
analog phone line. I can
connect the Konftel 60W to any phone, whether digital or analog.
Better still, if the call is on my mobile phone, I can just
switch it wirelessly over to the Konftel 60W in a flash.”
The
Konftel 60W is the first conference telephone on the market that
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 is available through selected retailers and Konftel
distributor, Orange Communications Pte Ltd. The recommended retail price
is $1188, and includes the extra expansion microphones and a two-year
guarantee.
Promotion
To
encourage users to stop using the loudspeakers on their standard
telephones, Orange Communications is offering a $200 trade-in value for
any used loudspeaker phone. This
means that you only pay $988 for the Konftel 60W. Offer ends 30 September 2006.
