GN 6210, GN 500 Series and Concept 9X3 are GN Netcom's hottest products to
benefit office and mobile professionals; product overviews available at booth
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 6 /PRNewswire/ -- Today from Booth #70337 at the Consumer
Electronics Show, GN Netcom, the hands-free technology leader, unveiled an
expansive array of products, expanding its portfolio of innovative headsets
for office and mobile professionals.
The GN 6210, GN 500 Series and Concept 9X3 all demonstrate GN Netcom's
commitment to innovation to develop new, high quality solutions for its
customers.
"GN Netcom's history of innovation and in-depth knowledge of the office
and mobile markets allow us to continue to develop cutting-edge communication
solutions," said Raajnish Chitaley, director of marketing for GN Netcom, Inc.
"The GN 6210, GN 500 Series and up-coming Concept 9X3 represent our latest
headset offerings enabling users to work more efficiently and effectively
thanks to the integration of the latest technology and unique design
components."
GN 6210 -- Style, Comfort and Superior Sound
The GN 6210 is a stylish Bluetooth headset solution that works seamlessly
with both an office and mobile phone -- Bluetooth adapter sold separately --
and is designed especially for office professionals who require mobility
inside and outside the office. By utilizing GN Netcom's GN Link technology,
which builds upon the Bluetooth wireless protocol -- previously only capable
of linking a headset to a single device at a time, the GN 6210 keeps office
professionals in touch anywhere they go, eliminates the hassle of juggling
multiple headsets and allows the user to answer or place calls through either
phone with the touch of a button.
The GN 6210 uses a "behind-the-ear" form factor already popularized by GN
Netcom's hugely successful JABRA FreeSpeak Bluetooth headset and brings a
fresh look both inside and outside of the office. The headset is made of a
soft, sound-absorbing elastomer material that reduces distortions, resulting
in crisp sound quality. The earpiece and microphone boom fit behind either ear
for a comfortable, secure fit. The earpiece also features the JABRA
MiniGel(TM). This soft, ergonomic gel tip channels sound directly into the
user's ear for better reception and improved ability to hear conversations
clearly even in noisy environments. The GN 6210 weighs only 23 grams/0.8
ounces and features a talk time of up to 8 hours, and a standby time of 240
hours. The headset features a Bluetooth standard range of 10 meters (30 feet)
from its base. Last year at CES 2004, GN Netcom introduced the first ever
dual-use headset, the GN 6110, which has a completely different design than
the GN 6210. GN Netcom's second dual-use offering, the GN 6210, will list at
$249 and is available for purchase through GN Netcom's network of authorized
specialty, catalog and online resellers.
GN 500 Series -- Style, Value and Performance
The GN 500 Series is an affordable PC headset solution that is designed
for the small office and home office users who would like to communicate via
the Internet, use speech recognition and listen to multi-media on the PC. Each
product in the portfolio varies to meet customer preferences and boasts
superior sound quality while offering a stylish look and feel. The products
which share several features, such as in-line mute and volume controls, will
be available at many retail outlets:
* GN 501SC -- Stereo PC Headset -- Offers breakthrough style and increased
comfort with sleek lines and an adjustable headband. Advanced speaker
technology and gold-plated stereo plugs deliver enhanced sound quality,
while the noise canceling microphone filters out unwanted background
noise for clearer communications.
* GN 502USB -- Behind-the-Neck USB Headset -- A behind the neck wearing
style allows for all day use and increased comfort, while the self
adjusting ear wraps improve stability. The USB interface provides a
direct to digital connection enhancing audio quality.
* GN 503SC -- Enhanced Stereo PC Headset -- The larger speakers deliver
deeper, smoother bass response allowing the headset to deliver premium
sound at a value price. The headband is self-adjusting and the
speakers pivot a full ninety degrees, making it easy to carry or store.
The microphone is noise-canceling and is on a flexible boom, allowing
for proper positioning and clearer communications.
* GN 503USB -- Premium Digital USB Headset -- Delivers performance for
users most demanding applications. The USB interface gives you

well as MacOS 9.2 and MacOS X.
GN Netcom Concept 9X3- Inspiring Tomorrow's Office Communications
The Concept 9X3 is planned to be the most advanced wireless headset ever
from GN Netcom. Combining the most up-to-date design and full technology
integration, Concept 9X3 will run on a purely digital platform and will ensure
that the signal can coexist with other standards like Bluetooth and WiFi. The
purely digital platform will allow Concept 9X3 to also feature DSP (Digital
Signal Processing) refinement -- aiming to greatly improve the intelligibility
of the average phone conversation. With a better than 300 foot range,
conferencing capabilities, and an included USB connection to VoIP softphones,
Concept 9X3 is expected to redefine headset use in the corporate enterprise.
CES attendees should be sure to visit GN Netcom's Booth #70337 for a
preview of the Concept 9X3; expected to ship in fall 2005.
