The innovative Connect To button on the new Motorola cordless handsets
simplifies access to the many communications options families have within
their home
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT)
today introduced a family of connected cordless phone systems that give
families one-button access to the many ways they can communicate in and around
their homes.
Through an innovative "Connect To" button on each handset, the new
Motorola C51 and SBV5400 expandable cordless phone systems provides access to
landline, Voice-over-IP calling, cellular service, home intercom, live
streaming video, shared family phone books, high-speed Internet, and even
push-to-talk-over-instant messaging -- right from the palm of your hand!
Both cordless phone systems debuted at the 2006 International CES trade
show (Las Vegas, NV), where Motorola is showcasing its seamless mobility
solutions at Booth #8545, and are expected to be commercially available later
this year.
Taking Communications Beyond The Cordless Phone
A 2006 International CES Innovations in Engineering and Design honoree,
the new Motorola C51 is the ultimate expandable cordless phone system. Using
Wi-Fi(R) friendly 5.8 GHz technology, the system first and foremost begins
with your choice of a base station that enables crystal clear voice phone
calls using landline or digital phone service.
Yet, the Motorola C51 system can do far more than just make voice calls.
Simply tap the "Connect To" button on a color-screen or standard cordless
handset and a menu appears, listing the many ways your system can communicate.
By adding accessories, sold separately, into the system, you can personalize
the capabilities of your cordless system.
Motorolas "Connect To" accessories include:
-- Bluetooth(R)-enabled wireless phone dock, which instantly adds access
to cell plan minutes and a users cell phone number. Whether cell phone
reception in the home is a problem, or users simply want to take
advantage of free night and weekend minutes, the docking device for the
C51 is a simple solution.
-- Camera/Intercom, which delivers streaming video and audio to color
handsets, and acts as a two-way communication device. Busy parents can
now monitor the baby without disturbing a nap, or keep an eye on the
kids while multi-tasking around the home.
-- A Voice-over-IP phone adapter, which gives access to your Internet
phone service from any handset.(1)
-- Push-to-Talk-over-Instant Messaging, which connects the cordless
handset to a PC through a USB connector, sold separately. This walkie-
talkie like feature sends your digitized voice over the Internet
through a supported Instant Messaging program. Its perfect for keeping
kids connected to friends without them monopolizing the home computer.
The phone system also includes a hands-free speaker phone, message
forwarding, caller ID and call waiting(2) support, an alarm clock function,
and a mute option for incoming/outgoing messages. Additional personalization
features include:
-- Shared Phone Books, so you can enter once and access from every
handset. The shared phone can hold 48 contacts, and each handset can
store 50 more in a private phonebook.
-- Custom naming and configuration, letting you assign a different name
for each handset, base or connected device, set different ring tones
for each handset, and establish different rings and volume levels for
daytime and night time.
-- Downloadable Ring Tones and wallpapers (for the color handset screen),
for the ultimate in personalization and self-expression.
The Motorola C51 advanced cordless phone system is expected to be
available in Spring 2006.
Voice-Enabled Cable Modem with Integrated Cordless Phone Base Station
The new Motorola SBV5400 is a next-generation voice-enabled cable modem
that includes the same 5.8 GHz digital cordless phone base station found in
the C51. Consumers can expand the system by registering the same accessories
from the C51 system with the SBV5400.
For service providers, the SBV5400 is an innovative, all-in-one device -
enabling their customers to "Connect To" high-speed data(1) and high-quality
digital phone services(2) through a single, expandable cordless phone system..
The Motorola SBV5400 is expected to be available in Spring 2006.
(1) High-speed Internet and Voice-over-IP service sold separately
(2) Availability of features depend on network availability
