Zultys Announces Wireless Conference Phone
Unique product offers true conferencing over VoIP
SUNNYVALE, Calif., December 6, 2005 - Zultys Technologies today announced the BTC phone, a powerful wireless conference phone that is compatible with its range of SIP IP phones as well as mobile phones. The BTC (Bluetooth Conference Phone) provides unparalleled speech quality and removes clutter from the conference room table.
The BTC phone is incredibly easy to use, having just three buttons. The phone is paired with any Bluetooth phone such as the Zultys ZIP 4x5 IP phone. Calls can be originated on the ZIP 4x5 phone or on the BTC phone using voice activated dialing. Calls can be answered on either phone. A conference call with multiple parties can be made using the features of the ZIP 4x5 phone. With its unique Bluetooth capability, these features are also available in conjunction with any other Bluetooth phone, including cell phones.
The BTC phone is aesthetically designed to enhance any conference room. Its batteries power the unit for about a week, obviating the need for power cables and phone lines to be dragged across the conference room table. The portability and use of open standards permit the phone to be moved from room to room or to a remote facility-even your car. The phone has four microphones and a powerful DSP (Digital Signal Processor) ensuring clarity of both the listeners as well as those at the other end of the call. The phone's speaker output is best in its class and the acoustic echo cancellation permits a natural conversation.
"We have been delighted with the quality of Zultys' products and service since our installation several months ago," said Dennis Cabuco, IT manager at the San Francisco Bay Guardian newspaper, in San Francisco, California. "There has not been a viable solution for adding conference phones to an IP system before Zultys introduced this phone. We love the fact that Zultys products are so flexible, easy to use, and have such great speech quality."
This BTC phone rounds out a range of SIP phones from Zultys which includes Ethernet and Wi-Fi sets. It permits an exclusively SIP installation to add conference phones without running wires to carry analog signals. The phone has four quad-color LEDs that display its status. The phone also is equipped with standard 3.5mm connectors (pink and green) so that it may be connected by wires to a desktop phone or a soft phone running on a PC. This enhances its flexibility for any application-wired, or wireless.
"When people think of conference room phones, they usually think of one supplier," said Patrick Ferriter, VP of Product Marketing at Zultys. "This phone will radically change the perception of what a conference phone should be like. Instead of stagnant features, Zultys has demonstrated clear technological leadership with this product."
Pricing and Availability
The BTC phone is in trials now with quantity shipments beginning in February. Pricing for the BTC will also be announced in February.
