Your IP Handset
Description
The IP Handset is used for making
phone calls over an IP based
network. When used with a BGAN
terminal, the communication is only
IP based between the handset and
the BGAN terminal. From the BGAN
terminal, the call is transmitted as a
normal circuit-switched call.
The handset is designed specifically
for use in harsh environments and it
is dust proof and splash proof.
Excellent sound quality is achieved
by including a state-of-the-art echo
canceller and noise suppression
software.
On the large 2.2" color TFT screen, a
graphical user interface provides
easy access to all functions including
contacts and settings. The user
interface also provides direct access
to certain features of a connected
BGAN terminal.
There are two variants of the
handset: A wired model and a
wireless model.
