German IP Telephone maker, snom, has announced its first DECT based
cordless IP phone, the m3. Available from the fourth quarter some time,
the new m3 features a colour display and a 100 metre range out of doors.
snom technology AG says the VoIP will be an expandable system with
multiline functionality and will be able to handle up to eight DECT
handsets. The system can carry only three parallel calls at time,
however, but three-way conference calls are possible.
The system supports call transfer, music while on hold, call
forwarding, and speed dialing with an address book allowing up to 100
entries.
"Despite the fact that the trend in VoIP is increasing movement toward
mobility, the supply of IP DECT phones is fairly limited," said Michael
Knieling, CFO and executive vice president of marketing and sales for
snom. "With the new snom m3, we will be able to provide all VoIP users
with the latest in mobility and design, without having to forgo premium
audio quality."
"It was a great challenge for me to work with snom, and the task was by
no means less demanding than working with the large car
manufacturers," said Stroschein, "I am convinced of the advantages of
VoIP, and I look forward to this phone, which - with its high-quality
design - will make the innovative technology 'visible' on the outside."
snom m3 features:
- Display: 128 x 128 pixels, 65536 colors, backlit
- Li-Ion battery pack for 10 hours of calls or 100 hours standby
- Range: 50 meters indoors, 100 meters outdoors
- 12 numerical keys, 5 navigation keys, 2 function keys
- Speakerphone on mobile handset
- Polyphonic ringtones
- Automatic registration of handset
- Separate charging cradle for handset
- 8 handsets per base station
- 8 SIP registrations with different servers/registrars
- Up to 3 concurrent calls per base station
- Three-way conference
- Remote setup, password protection
- Open DECT GAP standard
The phone was designed by Sebastian Stroschein of
Stroschein Product Design in Berlin who is known for luxury car installations including the Bluetooth handset installed in
the Maybach limousine, all mobile phone holders in Mercedes-Benz cars,
including the iPhone holder, and for the handsets in Porsches and BMWs.
