D-Link Releases Wi-Fi Flip Phone

D-Link introduces the Wi-Fi Phone (DPH-540), providing the freedom of wireless connectivity and the benefits of Voice over IP (VoIP) all in one sleek portable flip-style phone. By utilizing the Wi-Fi Phone with a VoIP service plan, both home and business users have the potential to dramatically reduce local and long distance telephone charges compared to a standard telephone service. In addition, the Wi-Fi Phone is a PsipTN™ compliant device that allows you to make and receive free calls within the PsipTN network (anticipated availability by August 2006 via firmware upgrade and 1-Year free subscription is included). PsipTN also allows you to receive calls from regular phones for free. Use the Wi-Fi Phone for business or talk to family and friends from virtually anywhere in the world1,2.

MAKE & RECEIVE CALLS THROUGH SECURE WIRELESS NETWORKS The Wi-Fi Phone is a standalone device that does not require a computer to use. All you need is an 802.11g or 802.11b wireless network with high-speed Internet access to make and receive calls1. Use it at home, hotels, offices, airports, Internet cafes, school campuses, or just about anywhere there is a wireless connection available2. In addition, with a growing number of Wi-Fi hotspots and metropolitan areas deploying low-cost or free high-speed wireless Internet connection, you have more places available to make and receive VoIP calls. This Wi-Fi Phone uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) and is ready to be used with an Internet (VoIP) phone service plan. For accessing secure wireless networks, the Wi-Fi Phone supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption. With features like echo cancellation, packet delay compensation, and lost packet recovery, you can expect the voice quality from the Wi-Fi phone to be similar to traditional phones calls.

CONVENIENT FEATURES The Wi-Fi Phone includes a large, bright color LCD screen that displays call information such as call history, address book entries, and caller ID numbers. The Wi-Fi Phone also supports several other convenient calling features including redial, mute, hold, and text messaging.
