VTech Holdings announced that its new Avant 5000 model cordless VoIP phone has become the first handset in the world to be certified as compliant with CAT-iq 2.0, a certification program introduced by the DECT Forum only in December of 2010.
The program tests devices on protocol, radio frequency (RF) level and especially on audio quality, one of the key drivers of CAT-iq.
CAT-iq stands for Cordless Advanced Technology: internet and quality. It was developed to meet the demands of the new generation of IP-based services and devices. The technology enables transport of voice via broadband, making it sound more natural and "true-to-life" than the standard Plain Old Telephone Network (POTS) and 3G mobile communication. The DECT Forum is the international association of the wireless home and enterprise communication industry and has been offering certification of CAT-iq products at laboratories in Germany and Norway.
The Avant 5000 is expected to be launched in 2011.
