The Gigaset 4975 voice & data is the first "all in one box" for wireless voice and data communication. It enables up to eight PCs or notebooks to transfer huge data or to surf the Net while other family members can still chat on the telephone. All this is possible with one broadband (DSL or cable) connection and one analogue telephone line.
With data transmission between several PCs and notebooks at 10Mbps - the basestation provides the ultimate wireless high performance network. The basestation also communicates with the full spectrum of other household digital products such as integrated MP3 players, DVD drives, digital cameras and printers.
Simple to install, the Gigaset 4975 voice & data comes with a software package which easily integrates all devices with the basestation. Once set up, the home network can support the integration of up to six telephone handsets and up to eight desktops or notebooks. To communicate with the basestation, notebooks require a small PC card (Gigaset 498 data) and the desktop PCs need a USB adapter (Gigaset 497 data).
The Gigaset 4975 voice & data adheres to Siemens' communication philosophy: 'mobile life @ home'. The guiding principle is that nearly all Siemens' Cordless Products can be combined easily with each other and are fully future-proof.
Completely wireless, the new product offers users the ability to talk and surf without the restriction of any cables wherever they are in their homes. It has a range inside the house of up to 30m from the basestation and outside of up to 300m.
Christoph Caselitz, President Cordless Products within the Siemens Information and Communication Mobile Group, said: "Our latest product was designed to meet the needs of those who want a simple and easy but still very sophisticated home network. Whatever a family's priority might be - be it work from home, dealing with kids battling over the phone, e-mail and games, or a desire to surf the Net in the tranquillity of the garden, the Gigaset 4975 voice & data is set to make home life simpler and more enjoyable."
