The Only 4-Line Cordless Phone System that Offers Businesses an Industrialized Solution. About 20% of PBX New Phone System Customers Prefer a Cordless Solution and the EnGenius EP-490 Provides Both Ruggedness and Expandability Along with Cost-Cutting Features and Flexibility Over Cellular.

Designed for the rugged dependability of an industrialized environment, the new EnGenius EP-490 industrial 4-line cordless telephone system outdistances the competition, eliminates the need for a separate two-way radio system, is less expensive to use than cellular and offers immediate cost-cutting business features including auto-attendant, which can easily be programmed to direct callers to specific handsets, text-messaging between handsets or to groups of handsets, and a unique hot-swapping feature--which permits changing the battery while a call is on hold. The system's digital spread spectrum (DSS) technology and frequency hopping allows for privacy and superior voice clarity.

COSTA MESA, Calif. (PRWEB) July 9, 2003 -- EnGenius Technologies, the award-winning wireless solution provider and industry leader in distance performance for cordless telephone systems, provides the best cordless solution for business and industry with its 4-line cordless phone system with 2-way radio, the EnGenius Industrial Cordless(tm) EP-490. Now the longest range multi-line system on the market, the expandable full-featured system also features auto-attendant to help businesses reduce their administrative costs.

"There's a confusing selection of cordless telephone systems currently on the market, " commented EnGenius marketing manager Doug Hayter. "But, there's only one that has been proven over and over again to beat the competition in distance and ruggedability. We've taken that specialization one step further with the EP-490 4-line system so medium-sized companies can experience the freedom and benefits of a cordless solution."

The EP-490 industrial system, with optional signal repeaters to provide maximum mobility and flexibility, operates off a single 4-line base unit and works with 1 to 36 cordless handsets that also function as two-way radios between handsets. The system offers the flexibility to be used as a stand-alone wireless PBX or can be used behind a wired PBX to offer wireless mobility to almost any business environment.

The system provides the longest range available in a cordless telephone system, up to 12 floors in-building; 250,000 square feet in manufacturing plants and warehouses; and 3,000 acres on ranges or in open fields. Each handset functions as a full duplex two-way radio and can be used even when out of range of the base unit. Unlike walky-talky type two-ways, the EnGenius EP-490 is not a "push-to-talk" system, but features natural telephone functionality and no group chatter.

Additional features include a music on-hold port, caller ID with call waiting, three-way conference calling between outside lines and handsets, speed dial directory, auto power management, frequency hopping security and headset ready 2.5 mm jacks. Optional equipment includes an indoor/outdoor external antenna for optimal coverage and a rugged case boot to further protect handsets from drops.
