Monday, October 13, 2008
TL92278 and TL92328 Offer Consumers an Affordable Solution to Answer Cellular Calls with the Superior Clarity and Range of a Cordless Home Phone System
BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Advanced American Telephones,
which manufactures AT&T-branded telephones under a license agreement with AT&T
Intellectual Property, today announced its first cordless phone systems to
combine Bluetooth connectivity with proprietary Digitally Enhanced Cordless
Telecommunications (DECT) 6.0 antenna technology. These new systems allow
users to connect a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone to the base unit for making
and receiving cellular calls on the home phone system, taking advantage of the
enhanced clarity and extended range of DECT technology.

Featuring a rich, sleek design and competitive price points, the
dual-handset TL92278 (MSRP: $89.95) and triple-handset TL92328 (MSRP: $119.95)
are now available online at http://www.telephones.att.com and major retail
stores nationwide.
Easy-to-use Bluetooth Capabilities
When users connect a Bluetooth-enabled cell phone to the TL92278 or
TL92328 base unit, they can make and receive cellular calls using the DECT
cordless handsets. Taking a cellular call on the home phone system enables
users to roam throughout the house with peace-of-mind that calls won't be
dropped or missed due to poor cell phone reception, or while the cell phone
charges in a different room. These systems also allow users to swap between
cellular and home line calls.
Taking DECT Technology to a New Level
For even more freedom to roam throughout the home, the TL92278 and TL92328
feature state-of-the-art antenna technology for maximum range and
interference-free clarity. DECT has been proven to deliver optimal voice and
sound quality, high protection against eavesdropping and superior range, and
DECT models do not interfere with wireless networks.
A recent, independent Wyle lab study found that the AT&T DECT phones
provide 45 percent more talk range (up to 190 feet) than competing DECT
phones.
For further flexibility, the AT&T Bluetooth DECT systems are expandable
with up to 12 handsets (with the TL90078 accessory handset) only requiring one
phone jack. A simultaneous off-hook feature also enables more than one handset
to be active on a call.
"These systems offer the latest, most popular cordless phone technologies
and are the most affordable on the market today with this level of
feature-rich offerings," said Matt Ramage, senior vice president, product
management, at Advanced American Telephones. "Combining Bluetooth with DECT
gives consumers the ability to use the home phone system as the wireless
communications hub for all calls in the house -- landline or cellular -- and
get the best sound quality and range available."
The new AT&T TL92278 and TL92328 are perfect for every budget and
household. Additional product details, including retail availability, can be
found below.
