GN LAUNCHES OFFICE HEADSET THAT CONNECTS SEAMLESSLY TO MOBILE PHONES, DESK PHONES AND IP TELEPHONY

LONDON (9th April 2008) – GN, the world leader in innovative headset solutions, has today launched the latest headset in its range of Multiuse devices. The new M5390 is a Bluetooth headset that can simultaneously connect to two communications devices such as a mobile phone, a desk phone or a PC softphone, giving users the flexibility and freedom to use one simple headset. With a range of 70 meters and enhanced audio quality, the M5390 is ideal for busy office-based professionals who use several forms of communications but want to avoid the hassle of using multiple devices. It will be available in May from all authorized GN resellers.

The M5390 combines the sound and range performance of an office headset with the convenience of a mobile headset. It is designed with the office user in mind and guarantees clear and concise audio quality thanks to the inbuilt DSP noise canceling technology, wideband sound and the extended boom arm, which places the microphone closer to the user’s mouth. It has an extended range of up to 70 meters, which enables users to walk freely around the office and still be in contact. Through the accompanying Jabra A335w Bluetooth Dongle, the M5390 works plug-and-play with a wide range of PC-based softphones such as Microsoft Communicator 2007, Cisco or Skype. The M5390 is also compatible with most desk phone systems and can instantly connect to any Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone.

“Voice communication in the office environment is no longer restricted to a traditional desk phone as more and more professionals rely on an array of solution to talk to clients, colleagues and partners,” explained Jan McNair, VP, GN Office Business. “With a Multiuse headset, users no longer have to waste time constantly swapping between different devices, instead they can use one headset that will ensure connectivity through the working day, increasing productivity and mobility.”

All call handling is controlled via the headset enabling the user to answer, end and put on hold any voice call. It has a talk time of up to six hours, a standby time of up to 60 hours and weighs just 18g, making it ideal for use through out the day.
