Uniden Announces Entrance into Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunication.

New Uniden Products Will Operate on the Interference-Free DECT 6.0 Frequency to Provide the Clearest Voice Reception Available

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Uniden America Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wireless consumer electronics, today announced the introduction of its new Digital Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) 6.0 cordless phone series. Leveraging its years of expertise and brand recognition in the consumer electronics industry, as well as resources from the company's strategic alliance with European DECT market leader SunCorp Technologies Limited, Uniden plans to deliver new cordless phone models that utilize the interference-free DECT 6.0 frequency. The debut of the new DECT 6.0 cordless phone suite continues Uniden's dedication to leading advancements in the telecommunications industry and commitment to delivering innovative technology to its consumers.

DECT 6.0 technology operates on the 1.9GHz frequency band which was recently allocated to cordless telephony. DECT 6.0 incorporates "listen before transmit" technology which not only avoids interference with many household products, such as baby monitors, microwaves and WiFi (which operate on other frequencies like 2.4GHz), but will also avoid interference with other DECT 6.0 telephones as the frequency band becomes more crowded in the future. As a result, the products will offer consumers enhanced voice clarity and sound quality for years to come. DECT 6.0 technology also offers high security and voice protection, as well as longer battery and standby life.

Uniden's DECT 6.0 products are whole house telecommunications solutions that are perfect for the busy home or small office. This will allow consumers to expand each phone system to include up to four base units. Each Uniden DECT 6.0 base unit is expandable to a total of six cordless handsets with each cordless handset having the ability to register and place calls on to up to four separate base units. The multi-base registration provides the ability to significantly extend your telephony coverage over a traditional cordless telephone (depending on the number of bases added to the system).

Uniden will introduce two DECT 6.0 phone models this fall with additions to the line expected in 2007. Each Uniden DECT 6.0 series handset is compact, light-weight and features a sleek, modern design. Consumers will also be able to use the handsets within range of Wireless Home Networking (WLAN) systems without negative impact on their telephony experience. Both models feature handsets capable of storing up to 100 phonebook numbers, trilingual menu displays, schedule reminders, and personalized ring-tones for pre-set callers. Users can also personalize features on each handset to further customize the phone system for their individual needs.

"Continuing our leadership in the consumer electronics industry, Uniden's new DECT cordless phone series demonstrates that our products are designed with consumer needs in mind," said Rich Tosi, President of Uniden America Corp. "With the introduction of our innovative DECT 6.0 product suite, Uniden is providing an exceptional communication experience for our consumers through superior technology."

Uniden's new DECT products will be available at retailers nationwide this fall.
