New Chipset Enhances DECT Handset Performance
As part of KIRK Telecom’s commitment to continuous product development, a number of hardware and software enhancements have dramatically improved the performance of their most popular DECT cordless handset. Effective immediately, the KIRK Z-3040 handset is now equipped with a new chipset, which offers a number of significant benefits. These include:

a. Talk time of the handset is increased from 10 hours to a massive 20 hours, allowing the phone to operate for up to 2-3 days* without requiring a recharge.
b. The time required for the handset to "handover" a call between base stations has been effectively halved. This, combined with changes to the handover software algorithm, ensures that call dropouts as users move around their workplace are greatly diminished.
c. An improved aerial also enhances handset performance.
   * Actual talk time will vary depending on usage of handset on each site

Pricing of the new Z-3040 remains unchanged, with standard features such as vibrating ringer, headset jack and support for display of text messages (on KIRK systems) making it one of the most popular DECT handsets on the market today. Being GAP compliant, the Z-3040 operates not only on the KIRK dect-z 500 and dect-z 1500 adjunct cordless systems but also on other manufacturer’s DECT GAP systems.
