NASHUA, N.H., April 2 /PRNewswire/ -- GN Netcom, the leader in hands-free,

wireless headset system to offer 150 feet of mobility and 2.4 GHz security at
an affordable price.

Incredibly lightweight and compact, the GN 9050 is the first solution that
allows busy professionals the mobility and freedom to answer, conduct and end
phone calls while up to150 feet away from their telephones. The new system
features 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum (DSS) technology for secure telephone
conversations and the clearest voice quality available in a wireless headset
system.
"The GN 9050 is an ideal product for first-time users of wireless headsets
who want to experience all the benefits of hands-free mobility, with the added
security of 2.4 GHz wireless technology," said Anthony M. DiIulio, senior vice
president and general manager, GN Netcom, Inc. "With the introduction of the
new GN 9050, we've now made wireless freedom in the office a secure and
affordable option."
GN Netcom's new GN 9050 wireless remote beltpack allows office workers to
multi-task in comfort, resulting in increased effectiveness and productivity.
Weighing only 4 ounces and only 3 1/2 inches wide, the unit can be clipped
onto a belt or waistband for easy, all-day wearing. With the remote answer
feature, workers can answer an incoming call, retrieve a file, or walk down
the hall to consult with a colleague, without interrupting their conversation.
Sound quality and secure conversations are ensured with advanced 2.4 GHz
Digital Spread Spectrum technology. These features are particularly appealing
to industries that handle highly confidential information, such as legal,
financial, banking, securities trading, medical, and the government. Unlike
older technologies (such as 900 MHz) that transmit on a single, crowded
channel and result in static and "crosstalk," the new 2.4 GHz DSS technology
switches channels at 90 hops per second, always seeking and selecting the
clearest channel. DSS technology makes it virtually impossible to 'break in'
to a channel and overhear conversations, and the less crowded spectrum can
accommodate up to 50 users in a concentrated area without a problem.
Designed for the ultimate in flexibility, the GN 9050 comes equipped with a
2.5 mm jack, allowing for easy plug-in to any headset, including the GN Netcom
M200 convertible. That same headset can then be used in the office, car and
home. For customers who already own a GN Netcom headset, the system comes with
a 2.5 mm-to-GN Netcom Quick Disconnect (QD) for quick headset to beltpack
connection.
GN Netcom's new 2.4 GHz wireless headset system comes in two package
options: the GN 9050, which includes the base station, remote beltpack unit,
and a 2.5 mm headset adapter cord, priced at $249; and the GN 9050 HS, which
includes the base station, remote beltpack unit, and a GN Netcom M200
convertible headset with a noise canceling microphone, priced at $279.
Optional accessories include the handset lifter for remote call answering, and
an additional 6-hour battery.
GN Netcom is a leading provider of wireless solutions for the call center,
general office and SOHO markets. In 1999, the company introduced the Ellipse,
the industry's first commercial grade 2.4 GHz wireless remote beltpack system
designed for call centers and other phone-intensive office environments.
Other GN Netcom wireless firsts include the GN 9020 D, the industry's first
2.4 GHz cordless headset, and the GN 9010 BT, the world's first Bluetooth
certified cordless headset.
