Philips launches new range of phones

JAKARTA: The launch of Philips' Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication (DECT) range here on Thursday marked the latest entry into Indonesia's telecommunications industry.

Philips Southeast Asian manager Bob Pillay said three varieties of DECT telephones, the Kala, Onis 200 and Zenia Voice, were now available in Indonesia, following their successful introduction in Singapore last year.

Pillay said the product range had achieved wide penetration in Europe and he was confident Philips' cordless digital technology would also be well-received in Asia.

He said DECT telephones are equipped with features found in GSM mobile phones, such as vibrating call, voice dial and hands- free option, and offer advanced sound quality, which is free from interference. -- JP
