TalkSwitch announces the availability of its TS-850i high-performance cordless DECT phone. The feature-rich TS-850i provides the ability to break away from the desktop while retaining full TalkSwitch IP-PBX phone system functionality.

The TS-850i sports a sleek design and sturdy construction. It's ideal for warehouses, retail stores, manufacturing facilities, teleworkers and any small business user on the move. It uses SIP for standards-based VoIP connectivity and also works with a landline. A TS-850i extension can be located anywhere in a home or office without a nearby phone jack.

The TS-850i boasts superior sound quality, a high-quality speakerphone and 8 hours talk time or 240 hours standby time per charge. Its range is up to 1000 feet outside and 150 feet inside.

Additional features and benefits of the TS-850i include: auto-detection and configuration of the handsets, multiple handset per base capability (with up to three simultaneous calls per base) and excellent clarity. Using DECT 6.0 technology, the TS-850i is less expensive and easier to deploy than comparable WiFi sets, and bases can be located anywhere on the LAN for maximum coverage in the office.

The TS-850i is also loaded with the functionality that small business customers demand from their business phones, like caller ID, backlit color display, message waiting light, 6 levels of ringer volume, adjustable key sounds, call log for incoming, outgoing and missed calls, 170-entry phone book, speed dial, and much more.

The complete TS-850i set, base plus handset, is MSRP$299 and extra handsets with chargers are MSRP$149 each. Each base supports a maximum of 8 handsets and you can use up to 5 bases per location. The TalkSwitch TS-850i requires a TalkSwitch VS or CA/CVA phone system running system software 6.11 or higher.
