The JOIP Community with Panasonic and Deltathree

VOIP company Deltathree and mobile communications giant Panasonic, are both playing nice as the cordless phones in Panasonic’s Glorange queue make their imminent debut into the market.

The two companies have come to an exclusive arrangement on Panasonic’s Globarange phones, a move that ensures consumers will get the shiny end of the deal when these new consumer level product models reach stores. By persuading Deltathree to sign on and provide Globarange cordless phones with a VOIP service, one unshared by any other, these communication devices are certain to afford Panasonic adepts with a wider choice of cordless phones to match to their needs and explore at will.

Included in the product models in this new line are phones that operate well along the levels of 5.8GHz as well as two-line cordless units with DECT functionality. Utilizing Deltathree’s “Joip” technology will enable these Panasonic cordless phones to offer users with landline and VOIP calling options through the joip network. For those who require such services on a constant basis, this convenience is in the way of being rare since it capably combines the talents of two machines in a laudably functional package—with a particular emphasis on “functional”. After all, convergent devices are not so few on the count that the simple emergence of one can send consumers, especially the discriminating ones in the lot, to paroxysms of bliss. These devices may be plenty thick on the ground but a considerable number of them exist only to demonstrate pitiful performances. Quite a couple of them too are shams—promising more than they can, in all actuality, be able to deliver thus leaving users in the lurch when push finally comes to shove.

Many consumers may have gone through experiences in the past that bear a great similarity to this and find themselves wary of committing to a convergent device again. There is after all a bit of truth contained in that age-old saying that if it sounds too good to be true, then chances are quite likely that it’s not. And in most two-line phones, this translates to having either a weak landline connection with an adequate VOIP one or a feeble VOIP connection in place of a brawny landline one. The usual exchange includes only either of the two—remember, these are substandard phones we are talking about—and as such, their notion of quality lies quite a bit beyond the definition that exceptional phones the likes of Panasonic’s digital tech units subscribe to and follow.

Suffice it to say, though, that in the long and interminable stretch upon which the production of such deplorable units do continue, the launch of Panasonic cordless phones that exhibit dependable performance and superior quality–which these ones do–is one effective means to ensure that consumers get the ideal in whatever selections are available to them.

Though, considering how Panasonic is rumored to have paid Deltathree the figure of two million, in U.S. Dollars, contesting the quality of these units may very well be a moot point. It also leads one to think that Panasonic must surely set store by these phones or they would otherwise have already gotten the cut.

The driving idea behind this project is Panasonic’s commitment into bringing a community of Joip users into existence, a group of consumers who can call co-joip users for free. Hence affording better communication channels at cheaper costs, a goal that a whole lot of earth-living individuals are keenly on the look out for.

And though it may seem that few of these Globarange phones will in the end be able to last long into the future to compete with newer, more innovative tech products being devised even as these musings are being penned, what seems to matter more at this point is the fact that the emergence of these devices ease the way for better, more exquisitely advanced products to be formulated and executed with finesse and refined engineering.

As they say, every little step takes us that much nearer to the goal, that much farther into the future—every little step closes the distance between technologies we know are possible and those we have yet to imagine.
