Berlin (ots) - AVM's BlueFRITZ!, now on sale, provides the first wireless access to ISDN and the Internet. The Berlin-based company's new product provides more flexibility in communications, doing away with bothersome cabling. The thumb-sized BlueFRITZ! USB, just 12 grams light, simply plugs into the USB port of any PC or notebook. The wireless Access-Point BlueFRITZ! AP-X provides the connection to the ISDN line. Both components are available from dealers as a Starter Pack, at the recommended retail price of euros 244,82 plus local VAT.
More Flexible Access to ISDN and the Internet with BlueFRITZ!
BlueFRITZ! provides the freedom of communication in the house: the PC's location is no longer dependent on where the phone line is installed. ISDN is now available wirelessly throughout the home, and even out on the terrace. All the customary ISDN applications, such as Internet access, file transfer, PC faxing and video telephony can now be used conveniently, regardless of where the phone socket is located. BlueFRITZ! provides simple, versatile access to the ISDN line for up to seven PCs. Moreover, the Access Point BlueFRITZ! AP-X also connects two analog devices, such as a telephone and a fax machine, to the ISDN line. The Access Point, which is a small, full-featured PBX, can also be directly wired to a PC via USB.
The Perfect Team: BlueFRITZ! AP-X and BlueFRITZ! USB
The Starter Pack has already been introduced successfully into the German market and is also being sold as an OEM product by Deutsche Telekom. Now the Access Point BlueFRITZ! AP-X for the ISDN line, and BlueFRITZ! USB for the PC's USB port are being sold internationally as a Starter Pack at the recommended retail price of euros 244,82 plus local VAT. The recommended retail price for an additional BlueFRITZ! USB client is euros 106,89 plus local VAT.
Elegant Versatility: BlueFRITZ! USB
BlueFRITZ! USB is just 12 grams light, and unbeatably compact, measuring 5.4 x 2.2 x 1.1 cm. Simply plug it into the PC to establish a secure connection to the ISDN access point. The standardized radio link transmits user data - with full protection against eavesdropping - up to 100 meters. All ISDN services are transparently available with the Bluetooth client. As always with AVM products, new features and functions will be offered free of charge over the web (www.avm.de). Features like Bluetooth ad-hoc-networking, connection to mobile phones for Internet, wireless printer connection and more will be available soon. Supported operating systems are Windows XP, 2000, Me and 98.
