Panasonic’s New DECT Phones

Panasonic recently held their trade show which included their new DECT phones. Among the most interesting are the KX-TG9120 and the KX-TG7170.

The KX-TG 9120 DECT cordless phone will be sold in two variants. The first variant is the KX-TG9140 bundle. This model includes a mains-powered wireless transmitter camera which transmits to the handset’s 1.5 inch colored LCD. It can be used as a security device for the front door. It can also work as a tool for baby watching.

The second variant is the KX-TG9150. It has a built in VoIP module that allows users to make VoIP calls away from the PC.

The KX-TG7170 is more of a specialized phone. It is a phone meant for those with outer-ear/middle-ear caused hearing difficulties. It uses bone conduction to let the users hear incoming calls. Instead of a standard speaker, it has a vibrator that transmits sound directly to the inner ear as it is placed against the head bypassing the problem of the those with the specified difficulty. It also has large buttons that are backlit which is useful as well for the elderly.
Anyone who is interested in purchasing these products will just have to wait a little longer. Panasonic will not begin to make these phones available until later this month.
