The First Internet Telephone with On-Screen e-Mail and News

RTX’s now takes Internet telephony a step further with the new LAN Cordless DUALphone. The new cordless phone with integrated Internet access is to be unveiled by the company at this year’s CeBIT trade fair in Hanover, Germany (Hall 12, C58/1). In particular, the innovative technology from RTX offers carriers the opportunity to take advantage of the booming VoIP market and stem the mass exodus of customers from the fixed-line sector.

Phoning over the Internet has become widely accepted as an inexpensive alternative to fixed-line tariffs, with voice over IP technology (VoIP). In the future, new service applications will emerge addressing rising customer demand for wireless access to the Internet. RTX, the specialist developer of wireless communication solutions, will be unveiling a new device at this year’s CeBIT which not only unifies both functions, but also has an integrated color display. The new LAN Cordless DUALphone is a session initiation protocol (SIP) device that combines a standard phone connection, Internet telephony and storage for Web content. The base station is connected both to the conventional telephone system and to the broadband Internet link, thereby allowing calls from both channels. The LAN Cordless DUALphone offers customers on-screen information such as the latest news, e-mail, stock market data, weather forecasts, traffic queues or sports results - all displayed in real time on a brilliant color display. Availability depends on the services provided by the carrier concerned.

The LAN Cordless DUALphone’s extensive functionality is not only an appealing alternative to conventional phones for consumers. RTX also creates attractive value added for carriers and phone operators who can exploit the inexpensive combination of phone and Internet access to combat falling sales and diminishing customer bases in the conventional telephony market.
