Ottowa, ON:

TalkSwitch® hybrid phone systems and the cordless TS-850i IP phone deliver freedom and PBX functionality with traditional and VoIP capabilities.

TalkSwitch®, the developer of the original owner-friendly™ phone system for small business, today announced the availability of its cordless IP-PBX solutions. The combination of TalkSwitch VS hybrid phone systems and the TS-850i cordless DECT phone delivers unparalleled connection choice, ease of installation and performance to small and multi-location businesses.

Designed exclusively for small business, TalkSwitch phone systems are feature-rich, all-in-one solutions that deliver customers big business features that fit small business budgets. The systems work with traditional and VoIP networks and both analog and IP phones. In addition to mission-critical features like voicemail and auto attendants, TalkSwitch systems also offer integrated call control using a patented remote extension feature. Using remote extensions, cell phones can also be added to the system with full integration, not just call forwarding. It’s about professional image, efficiency and flexibility.

The addition of cordless TS-850i phones to any TalkSwitch phone system takes connection choice one step further, providing wireless IP extensions and powerful mobility. You can connect everyone you need, anywhere you want. The TS-850i is ideal for warehouses, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, teleworkers and any small business user on the move. It uses SIP for standards-based VoIP connectivity and also works with a landline. A TS-850i extension can be located anywhere in a home or office without a nearby phone jack and can be set up outside the office as a TalkSwitch external IP extension, which functions exactly as if it were in the office.

“Up until now, small businesses looking for cordless or wireless phone options often had to sacrifice important features and integration. The TS-850i integrates beautifully with the full set of TalkSwitch phone system features, and is a high-quality handset with great range and call clarity,” said Kevin Selkowitz, Founder and Telecom Consultant, Selkowitz Technology,.

Additional features and benefits of the TS-850i include: auto-detection and configuration of the handsets, three handset per base capacity (with up to three simultaneous calls per base) and excellent clarity. Using DECT 6.0 technology, the TS-850i is less expensive and easier to deploy than comparable Wi-Fi sets.

“TalkSwitch cordless IP-PBX solutions are owner-friendly™, feature-rich and flexible,” said Jan Scheeren, president and CEO, TalkSwitch. “They’re easy to install and manage and provide small business with unbeatable connect anywhere capabilities and professional call control, whether using traditional or VoIP systems.”

TalkSwitch cordless IP-PBX solutions let you choose systems with 2, 4 or 8 traditional phone lines, and 4 or 8 VoIP lines. The phone systems are modular and scalable, so you can grow your own way to a maximum of 64 users per location, and every TalkSwitch has the capacity to support up to 16 IP extensions. Complete cordless IP-PBX solutions start as low as US$1143, including a TalkSwitch 240vs and 2 TS-850i phones. The complete TS-850i set, base plus handset, is MSRP$299 and extra handsets with chargers are MSRP$149 each. Each base supports up to three handsets and you can use up to 5 bases per location. The TalkSwitch TS-850i requires a TalkSwitch VS or CA/CVA phone system running system software 6.11 or higher. TalkSwitch also has a wide range of professional corded business phones, and you can mix and match using analog, IP or both.
