ZyXEL's VoIP Wi-Fi Phone Saves Fee, Boosts Mobility
(Hsinchu , March 8, 2004) ZyXEL today unveils its first VoIP (Voice over IP) product -- Prestige 2000W VoIP Wi-Fi Phone. With this innovative product, home and office 802.11 WLAN users can enjoy benefits such as tariff savings, as well as the convenience of high mobility through the VoIP services provided by IP Telephony Service providers (ITSPs).
The amazingly portable Prestige 2000W VoIP Wi-Fi phone is only 5.5-inch long, 0.8-inch thick, and weights just 110 grams -- even smaller than an average woman palm.

"What's more, since Prestige 2000W is a vital part of ZyXEL's Prestige VoIP solution, it works seamlessly with ZyXEL's 802.11 wireless and VoIP CPE, which enables service providers to offer complete and cost effective VoIP service for their customers. With the additional benefits, the service providers can offer value-added voice functionalities to current subscribers, attract new customers, and even generate more revenue through the VoIP services."
Prestige 2000W supports the SIP v2 (Session Initiation Protocol) open industrial standard, and is interoperable with other SIP-based Call Servers, IP-PBX, or VoIP client devices. In addition, by the smart auto-provisioning and central update mechanism, service providers can deploy and manage the VoIP services easily.
