The new RTX Skype cordless telephone was launched recently in Miami to an enthusiatic market. The new cordless handset allows users to use Skype without using a computer. This newest Skype handset takes over from the earlier successful model and is ideal for small businesses as well as for home use.
DN designed the phone specially to appeal to a wide range of users on a worldwide basis. Partnered with RTX's top quality technology, the new handset gives excellence in sound quaity and great hand-held ergonomics.
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.
RTX Products have been at the forefront of telecom technology for decades. Designed by DN, the RTX "Forerunner Series" pioneered professional corded telephone systems for the worldwide professional market. Taking a lead from real user needs, the series includes combined solutions where fixed-line VoIP phones can be used together with cordless handsets for great flexibility and security.
RTX Telecom and DN has in close collaboration developed the cordless Skype telephone, which is connected to the internet without the use of a computer.
The product can also be used as a common cordless telephone, gathering all functions in one. With this solution it is possible to make free calls over the internet independently from your computer.
The design aims for a wide European market, appealing to both end-users and providers of internet-based telephone services. And, you can get it in Taiwan now.
For RTXs first DECT cordless phone project in the Du@lphone series, DN developed a full font set, specially optimized for readability on smaller screens.
In comparison to normal DECT phones, VoIP phones can display web messages like weather forecasts, news bulletins and SMSs. The DN designteam developed a font set optimized for reading and without taking up more space than regular screen fonts.
For RTXs first DECT cordless phone project in the Du@lphone series, DN in collaboration with RTX has developed the icons for the handsets main menu.
The graphic style of the icons has a hint of the new the VoIP world, but draws most of its analogies from well-known symbols from the mobile phone industry.
