GN Netcom productivity-boosting solutions named products of the year. NASHUA, N.H., Feb. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- GN Netcom, Inc., a world leader in hands-free communication technology, has added three more "Product of the Year" awards to its ever-growing list of industry awards.

"The products included are but a small subset of the releases announced over the past year ... choosing the winners was a difficult process." The Ellipse 2.4 is the first wireless headset to utilize the new 2.4 GHz frequency, and delivers crystal-clear, interference-free reception in a coverage area of more than 125,000 square feet. In addition to unrestricted freedom of movement, Ellipse also lets users answer calls, and hang up remotely-without going back to the base unit. The HT-Two headset telephone is a profitability-enhancement tool for call centers-an integrated headset telephone solution made expressly for use with GN Netcom brand headsets. The HT-Two features a no-dialpad design that eliminates unauthorized calls, and the associated expense, while ensuring agents stay focused on their work. Taking the place of both the telephone and headset amplifier, the HT-Two reduces desktop clutter and equipment costs. "GN Netcom is proud of these Product of the Year awards," said P. Michael Fairweather, president and CEO. "Both the Ellipse 2.4 and the HT-Two demonstrate, not only our commitment to technology leadership through innovation, but our dedication to meeting customer needs for practical, productivity-boosting solutions." The Ellipse 2.4 and HT-Two are available through GN Netcom's extensive distribution network. List price for the Ellipse is $450; the HT-Two headset telephone lists for $112. About GN Netcom, Inc.
