Combining Wavelink’s strengths as a leading Australian supplier of DECT cordless telephony products with Commtech’s dominant role in supplying paging solutions delivers a number of synergies, including:

• There is a great deal of overlap between users of the Kirk DECT cordless system and Commtech’s family of paging systems (BASEPage and PAGELynx).

• The products are complementary and fully integrated with each other, providing users with a single on-site portable communications solution. This is in contrast with users today who typically have multiple systems (paging, cordless, 2-way radio, mobile, alarm monitoring etc) on-site which are incompatible.

• Users requiring voice communication are able to use the Kirk cordless handset to also display their text messages, removing the need to carry multiple devices.

• Many overlaps exist in the distribution channels for these products.

All paging outputs from Commtech’s paging products are now available for display on individual, or groups, of handsets in the Kirk system, including:

• Paging messages

• LAN based text messaging

• Alarm monitoring (fire, security, manufacturing process control, slot machines etc)

• Nurse Call

• E-mail forwarding/notification

E-mail forwarding is a significant new development, as it allows users to view their incoming e-mails on their Kirk cordless handset, for immediate action when away from the desk.

Target users who will benefit from this technology integration include:

• Hospitality (hotels, resorts, clubs, casinos)

• Health care (hospitals, clinics, aged care)

• Manufacturing

• Mining

• Defence

• Retail

Commtech Wireless is recognised as a world leader in the design and manufacture ofon site and area wide paging infrastructure. Their installation base extends to some one thousand sites in 12 countries, ranging from aged care institutions to national networks. Focussing on the single objective of fully integrating messaging with technology has enabled Commtech to emphasise the software content of their designs, resulting in solutions that provide unparalleled capabilities.
