CSI Wireless announces GSM fixed phones
On 3 February 2006, CSI Wireless introduced the Series 405 and Series 415 fixed wireless phones, with a formal launch planned for the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona later that month. Both were designed to operate through existing cellular networks.
Two levels of capability
The Series 405 was presented as an entry model for voice and text messages. The Series 415 added a speakerphone and data functions through a connection to a computer. The company said versions would be offered for the Americas and for Europe and other regions.
A fixed phone using mobile infrastructure
Instead of a copper line, these devices were intended to be plugged into mains power and connected through a GSM network. That made them relevant where wireline installation was unavailable or unaffordable. The report records a product announcement and intended distribution in 2006, not current availability or compatibility.
