CuPhone today announced its “Echo Free”
USB-to-Phone Adaptor. This small adaptor, when plugged into the USB port
of a PC, allows the user to plug his regular phone into the RJ11 port on
the adaptor to make and receive either Skype or normal landline “echo
free” calls
The “Echo Free”
Phone adaptor is based on TigerJet Network's (www.tjnet.com)
most advanced single chip VoIP solution, the Tiger580, which has
built-in Echo Cancellation hardware, SLIC/Phone interface and a 16-bit
audio codec. With built-in echo cancellation hardware, the audio quality
is significantly improved over the software echo cancellation
alternative since, with software echo cancellation, audio quality is
dependent on many factors, including PC performance and network delay.
Virtually everybody that uses Skype also makes and receives normal
telephone calls. CuPhone’s adaptor enables all
types of calls to be handled using one piece of equipment and this piece
of equipment can be, for example, the cordless phone that was the user's
preferred phone before VoIP even existed. Also with the CuPhone adaptor,
family members on different phone extensions can be on landline and
Skype calls simultaneously, effectively providing a second phone line at
no cost.
Skype has attracted more than 47 million users around the world who use
the service while they're sitting at their PCs. They have lowered their
phone bills but the price has been inconvenience and inconsistent audio
quality. CuPhone’s “Echo
Free” adaptor eliminates the major audio
quality issue, “echo,”
and the inconvenience due to having phone equipment dedicated to making
and receiving Skype calls.
This product supports Skype Caller ID, Skype speed dialing and ringing
for incoming Skype Call.
The CuPhone’s “Echo
Free” phones are plug-and-play compatible
with WinXP, Vista, Linux and MAC operating systems. Moreover, all
popular VoIP applications such as: Skype, SIP, H.323,
Delta3/Iconnecthere, Net2Phone, DialPad, MSN, X-ten, are supported
It can be purchased for $34 from CuPhone's web site www.cuphone.com.
