New Handsets, Softphone Application and Speech-Recognition Integration Capabilities on Display at Healthcare's Largest IT Conference and Exhibition
NEW ORLEANS, HIMSS ANNUAL CONFERENCE & EXHIBITION, Feb. 26, 2007 // - SpectraLink Corp. (NASDAQ:SLNK), the leader in workplace wireless telephony, continues to demonstrate its commitment to the healthcare industry at this year's HIMSS Conference and Exhibition. SpectraLink has been selling into healthcare organizations since the early 1990s and has deployed more wireless telephone systems in hospitals than any other vendor. At HIMSS, SpectraLink is exhibiting its upgraded handset portfolio and recently-announced softphone application for third-party devices, and demonstrating enhanced features and functions through integration with speech-recognition solutions. In addition, SpectraLink products are featured in various technology and channel partners' booths at this year's show.
Last month, SpectraLink introduced the NetLink 8000 Series Wireless Telephones, which enhance SpectraLink's market-leading Wi-Fi telephony platform as the industry's first commercially available handsets supporting the 802.11a/b/g standards and offering the longest battery life of any enterprise Wi-Fi telephone. Additional enhancements include a larger alphanumeric display and a slim, lightweight, yet robust design that meets the stringent durability and reliability requirements of healthcare users. Additionally, SpectraLink announced its NetLink Softphone (NetLink SP) application, which allows voice-enabled mobile devices to function as full-featured business telephones that integrate with enterprise telephone systems. NetLink SP operates as a thin client, offering optimized performance both over the wireless LAN and on the handheld device. Both the NetLink 8000 Series handsets and NetLink SP are on display at the company's booth (no. 2721).
Also on display is a demonstration of voice dialing capabilities in conjunction with speech-recognition solution providers such as Parlance and XTEND Communications. By utilizing a third-party, speech-recognition application, voice dialing is available with single-button access on SpectraLink wireless handsets. The application can also be leveraged for use from any hospital telephone and for outside callers. Support for speech-recognition applications is another example of SpectraLink's emphasis on integrating with healthcare enterprise networks and systems to further increase the value and capabilities of our wireless solutions. SpectraLink handsets also support integration with third-party messaging applications such as nurse call and patient monitoring systems.
"Healthcare continues to be a very important and strategic market for us," said John Elms, SpectraLink president and CEO. "As our customers' needs evolve, we work with them to design product features and capabilities that will meet those needs. Our new products and technology integrations demonstrate our commitment to helping them improve accessibility and productivity for caregivers, thereby improving patient satisfaction and ultimately the bottom line."
