Siemens 2.4GHz Cordless Phone Systems to be Offered at all CompUSA Computer Superstores

Consumers and small business owners who want their phones to be as sophisticated as their computers can now buy Siemens' 2.4GHz cordless phones and systems at CompUSA while they're picking up computer hardware, software and peripherals.

In a move to provide computer users one-stop shopping for voice and data products, the nationwide retailer has selected Siemens' family of award winning 2.4GHz phones to be its flagship cordless phone products. CompUSA stores nationwide are featuring the Siemens Gigaset® family of multi-user, single- and multi-line cordless communication systems for small office/home offices (SOHOs).

"Being featured by a retailer of CompUSA's industry stature signifies that our 2.4GHz cordless phones are considered an integral component of the home and small office computing environment,'' says Noel Schnell, vice president of digital products for Siemens Communication Devices.

The inclusion of phones in computer retailers' product lineups highlights the increasing convergence between the computer and consumer electronics worlds and the home and office. For many of today's consumers, the selection of their telephones is just as important as the selection of their computers.

"Over the past six months, we have expanded our product line to include a broad assortment of the latest and greatest in technology-related products,'' said John S. Lostroscio, vice president of merchandising/hardware for CompUSA. ``Adding innovative products such as Siemens' cordless phones will help our customers put together complete solutions for the home office or small office.''

Siemens - A Trusted Name in Communication Products

Siemens was the first phone manufacturer to offer full 2.4GHz transmission for both the telephone base and handset resulting in sound quality benefits superior to older radio frequencies. Based on the leading DECT (Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications) standard, the award-winning Gigaset family of cordless phone systems incorporates advanced technology and design principles. Targeted for small office/home offices (SOHOs) and active households, the Gigaset takes just minutes to install and requires no phone jacks for additional cordless handsets.

For more than 150 years, Siemens has been well-known in Europe and around the world for high quality and finely engineered telecommunications products. Siemens Communication Devices, a division of Siemens Information and Communication Products LLC, develops, manufactures and markets feature-rich, digital cordless products for the North American market. Siemens is the leading provider of cordless phones based on the DECT standard, having shipped more than 20 million DECT phones in more than 50 countries. Within the entire cordless market, Siemens ranks second in the world.
