Panasonic System Networks Company of America, a provider of business and home telephone systems, has announced the interoperability of BroadSoft’s BroadWorks platform with the KX-TGP500 series of SIP DECT (News - Alert) cordless telephones.

 

The new range offers high voice quality and productivity-boosting capabilities in a full-featured desk phone replacement.

 

DECT 6.0 ensures no interference with wireless networks, and the convenient cordless design eliminates the need to run dedicated network wiring to each employee workstation. It is suited for both, home and business environments.

 

The Panasonic TGP500 series phone is announced at BroadSoft (News - Alert) Connections 2009: Voice & Vision, October 25-28 in Scottsdale, Ariz.

 

“As the market leader, Panasonic is committed to delivering innovative features and superior performance,” stated Mike Roshandel, director of business development, Panasonic (News - Alert) System Networks Company of America. “Panasonic has embraced the BroadSoft VoIP platform and is working with BroadSoft’s service provider customers to enable new solutions for IP communications.”

 

“We are excited to see Panasonic joining our SIP-based ecosystem,” said Ken Rokoff, vice president of business development at BroadSoft. “Panasonic’s initial product offering is unique and will help drive the hosted voice market forward. These new technologies will help carriers differentiate their services to meet the needs of today’s demanding market.”

 

With flexible configuration options, it has never been easier to deploy and expand an SIP-based phone system. The reduced hardware costs and simplicity of routing calls over an Internet connection adds savings on monthly telephone bills. With the Panasonic KX-TGP500 series SIP phone system, it is quick and easy to add up to six cordless handsets each with its own number. Only a single Internet connection and an electrical outlet near the location of the handset are required. The connection is secure because of DECT technology.

 

These phones use 100 percent recycled packaging materials, and all new models are Energy Star qualified, leading to use about one-third less energy than non-qualified models.
