Lots of cool gear from manufacturers overseas found its way to the Miami Convention Center for last week’s annual ITEXPO (News - Alert) East show, held Jan. 20-22.

 

And after a successful run at its second ITEXPO, Xiamen, China-based IP phone maker Yealink posted news of its plans to grace the halls of Germany’s CeBIT2010 show, to be held March 2-6 in Hannover.

 

At ITEXPO, Yealink (News - Alert) spent three days giving companies demonstrations of its VP-2009 IP Video Phone.

 

Unveiled in November, the latest model to join the roster of VoIP phones put out by Yealink allows consumers and small- to medium-size businesses to harness the power and cost-effectiveness of Voice-Video-over-Internet-Protocol to make free video calls worldwide.

 

The seven-inch touchscreen format is sleek and gives users an easy launching pad to make quick video calls from their work spaces. With the video interface, employers can remain in visual contact with the employees in remote office locations.

 

It’ll be interesting to see the extent to which a more international audience gravitates toward that and other IP phone models in the exhibit hall.

 

CeBIT, which calls itself the world’s largest trade fair showcasing digital IT and telecommunications solutions for home and work environments, offers an international platform for comparing notes on current industry trends, networking and product presentations. Deutsche Messe AG has organized CeBIT (News - Alert) in Hannover each spring since 1986.

 

The key target groups are users from the wholesale/retail sector, skilled trades, banks, the services sector, government agencies, science and all users passionate about technology.

 

April Huang, a marketing executive with Yealink, recently spoke to TMCnet about the challenges of 2009 that paved the way for the exciting developments we can look forward to in 2010.

 

In 2009, Yealink released the full serial of Enterprise HD IP phones (SIP-T28P, SIP-T26P, SIP-T22P and SIP-T20P), to meet different.

 

“I especially recommend our new HD voice phone, which has distinguished our phone line from competitors,” Huang told TMCnet. “It has rich features including BLF, XML-screen, PoE and PnP Auto provisioning.”

 

And in 2010, each department in Yealink has its own expectations for 2010, on the basis of what has to be released.

 

“In the coming year we will develop more types of IP phones to catch up in the market, like a Dect phone and Simple phone,” Huang said. “They are on our roadmap now.”
