Ascalade's 2007 DECT phone designs selected by new Belgium customer
27 March 2007
Ascalade Communications Inc. ("Ascalade" or "the Company") (TSX: ACG) today announced select models from Ascalade's 2007 DECT cordless phone product line will be branded and distributed by one of Belgium's top consumer products distributors. Through this partnership, Ascalade will expand its DECT product reach into new Pan European markets.
Ascalade's new Belgium customer is a well-known leading European distributor for voice, Voice over Internet Protocol ("VoIP"), data and lifecare products for the residential, small business and home office markets. Its branded products are sold in some of the most well-known electronics chains, computer shops, department stores, telecom specialist shops, as well as from electricians and operators all over Europe. Along with its own European sales team, Ascalade's new customer also has sales offices in Asia.
Ascalade's 2007 DECT cordless phone models were selected based on new features and industrial design enhancements. One of Ascalade's latest value-added features include Low Radiation DECT technology for reducing the amount of standby and active radiation emitted from both the handset and telephone base. This new feature allows end users concerned with radiation to automatically or manually adjust emitted radiation on their DECT cordless handsets while enjoying proven sound quality and low interference. The 2007 DECT product line also features Ascalade's new industrial designs which capture and meet the latest consumer demands for functionality and style. New designs include a slimmer handset and base as well as colorful LCD screens.
"We are extremely excited to be working with our new Belgium customer on our first DECT initiative with them to expand our product reach into Pan European markets," said Peter Sharp, Director of Sales and Marketing, Ascalade Europe, "We look forward to strong collaborations that will continue to bring our latest DECT cordless phones to more markets and to more consumers."
Product shipments to the new customer are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2007. To learn more about Ascalade's latest DECT cordless phone models and their features, please visit http://www.ascalade.com/products/dect/.
