DECT 6.0 is an interference-reducing, range-extending technology that also helps increase battery life on the phones.
Panasonic, under its Panasonic Communications Co. of North America (PCCNA) division, will begin selling at the end of this month a 2009 cordless phone model range that carries DECT 6.0 technology across the entire lineup, said Erica Martinez, product manager.
The Energy Star-certified 6400 and 7400 series carry an array of product features exclusive to Panasonic, which “add cell phone convenience to cordless,” she said. Martinez also added that Panasonic’s lineup includes a strong selection of SKUs in the higher end of the category, making the brand “strong in the $99- and-up market slot.”
On the 6400 range, Talking Caller ID states the identity of the caller so the owner doesn’t have to look at the phone before deciding to answer it. Call Block, another feature unique to Panasonic that carries over from the 2008 range, allows the owner to create a “call block” list that sends a busy signal to unwanted callers added to the list. Silent Mode allows programming of each handset to ring or remain silent at specific times of day.
The 7400 series carries these features and adds Choice Mail, a feature that lets the person checking voicemails to cherry-pick which to listen to without having to go through the list and listen serially to each message. It also has an adjustable font sizing feature that lets the user enlarge the type of an entry for better legibility. The phones also comply with the Telecommunications Industry Association’s TIA-1083 standard, an interference-reduction technology that makes the handsets compatible with hearing aids.
Another Panasonic system due out soon, the KX-TG1062M single-line digital cordless answering system with two handsets, offers functionality through the base unit even when there is a power outage.
Panasonic, said Martinez, plans to make additional model announcements geared to the needs of the high-end residential market around the time of the CEDIA Expo this fall.
