Telcom & Data intros emergency VOIP phones

Yahoo News reports.

Guardian's HDE series phones are designed for use in public settings where immediate support or hands-free communication is required. Applications include elevators, universities, parking facilities, medical centres, amusement parks and building entrances.

The phones boast many outstanding features. The units have a durable exterior with a rust-resistant finish. The telephones function in severe conditions, including extremely cold weather, rain and noisy environments. The units may be set to autodial two numbers or to ring down through a PABX. The phones feature an emergency push button. Once the button is pressed, the phone automatically connects to the intended location. An LED provides a visual confirmation of a call connection.

When Ricardo Trinidad, president of Telcom & Data, was asked about the phones, he said: “These phones are critical for public safety. With the simple push of a button, the caller receives immediate help. It couldn't be easier,” Virtual Strategy Magazine notes.
