January 9th 2011 | Hardwired for quality - RTX Forerunner Series
Even in our modern "mobile" world there are actually many instances where corded phones are better. Hotels, health care, public institutions and many offices worldwide are better served by corded phones. Better user friendliness, ergonomics and sound quality are obvious benefits but fixed line telehones offer many other uses for intergrating a phone system properly to meet a wide range of business and personal needs - and usually at the traditional low phone charges of the phones companies.
The RTX phones shown here are aimed at hotels, small businesses and normal private users but they can also be combined with RTX's very most advanced professional systems.
