Weekly UpdatesVodavi Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:VTEK), Phoenix, a provider of traditional and next-generation business telecommunications solutions, has introduced its first telephone system specifically designed and FCC certified for the residential home market. The STARPLUS STS HOME Telephone System is a full- featured, digital phone system that supports up to 12 individual phone lines, 24 digital stations and 2 analog ports.
According to Michael Flink, vice president of marketing and Operations for ADI, a Honeywell company, "We believe the STARPLUS STS HOME telephone system will produce a significant impact within a large part of our dealer and customer markets." He added, "Throughout 2003, Vodavi's STARPLUS STS business product line has been a highly valued part of ADI's group of core telecommunications products. We are a big supporter of Vodavi and anticipate equal success with the new residential model of the STS. It is a product that fits the time. The STS is priced right, contains a very competitive feature set, offers great value for the end user and a profitable option for the telephone reseller."
"Dealer feedback and the success of the entire STARPLUS STS product line made us realize that introducing a telephone system specifically for the residential/home office market was the right thing to do," said Greg Roeper, president and CEO of Vodavi. "We are excited and extremely confident that by entering this new market we will be able to offer affordable, feature-rich products to the homeowner as we have been offering business owners for over 20 years."
About the STARPLUS STS HOME Telephone System
The STARPLUS STS HOME Telephone System has one phone model that is available in either Charcoal-Gray or Off-White. A single electronic cabinet, this FCC-certified residential telephone system supports a system capacity of 12 lines, 24 digital stations and comes standard with two analog ports for connecting equipment such as fax machines. Additional analog devices can be added through the Fax/Modem jacks on each STARPLUS STS phone or the use of a special single line card in the system. For cordless convenience, the Wanderer, a 2.4 GHz cordless handset with a range up to 250 feet, is available. (Wanderer range may vary based on environment.)
"Vodavi has again addressed market needs with the STARPLUS STS HOME telephone system," said Alan Itchkow, president of CSPI, a Vodavi dealer in Great Neck, NY. "This feature-rich system is loaded with features not typically found on systems this size for the residential market. Homeowners will love the fact that Caller ID and single line telephones can both be used with no additional costs. These are some of the features our clients have been looking for, but systems offering similar features were just too cost prohibitive. With the STARPLUS STS HOME system, we now have a truly high quality, feature-rich product to offer our clients that they will want, at a price they will enjoy."
Features To Compliment The Home/Home Office Way of Life
Over 150 features designed to simplify busy lifestyles of the residential/home office user are available with the STARPLUS STS HOME telephone system. Some of the useful features that meet home communication needs include the following:
-- Name and Number Caller ID on every digital phone (Caller ID must be purchased separately from your local telephone service provider.)
-- Flexible Buttons -- 24 programmable buttons for one-touch access to system features
-- Room Monitoring -- Monitor a room from any STARPLUS STS phone in the house, providing the monitored room also has a STARPLUS STS phone
-- Paging and Intercom -- Pages all STARPLUS STS phones throughout the house; communicate with other members of the household directly using intercom feature

-- Fax/Modem Jack on Every Phone -- Eliminates the need for redundant wiring and multiple wall jacks, thus reducing the wire clutter; expands system capacity when more than 24 phone/fax devices are needed
-- Dialing Restrictions -- Limits certain phones from dialing long distance
