SpectraLink Corp., a Boulder, Colo.-based company that provides wireless telephone systems for the workplace, introduced its Link 3000 Wireless Telephone System.
The company’s systems, which can attach to existing private branch exchanges, deliver the same features of desk phones to wireless handsets. The handset, which is similar in size and weight to traditional wireless handsets, can be used on campuses or in large offices or buildings equipped with the system.
New standard features of the Link 3000 WTS include support for more than 3,000 wireless handsets per system and seamless connectivity among multiple remote sites, said the company. The system operates in the unlicensed 902-928 MHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical band.
SpectraLink said the system is capable of being digitally integrated with more than 85 percent of business telephone systems installed in the United States, which provides for multiline access and digital display capabilities. The system also allows the wireless handset to ring simultaneously with a desk telephone.
Several companies have announced systems that allow wireless handsets to function like a desk telephone while in the office and as a wireless phone when away from the office using cellular and personal communications services networks.
Tom Ohlsson, director of marketing at SpectraLink, said while the company will have to address that issue in the future, today it is focused on the segment of users that is mobile within an enterprise rather than users that spend a large portion of their time away from the office.
