CeBIT '99/Hanover, Germany - 03.16.1999 - Phonex Corporation, the Utah-based developer
of the world's only wireless telephone extension systems, announced today a revolutionary technology which transmits
voice and data signals over the power mains. This new technology, called the Wireless Telephone Outlet™, has
received CTR 21 approval for broad overall use throughout Europe, and in addition, has obtained a BABT 701 declaration
of conformity for the United Kingdom with NTR3 approval. Phonex will be showcasing this new technology at the CEBIT show
in Hanover, Germany, March 18-26.
Using patented technology, which enables telephone devices to communicate reliably using standard power mains, the
Wireless Telephone Outlet is a wireless carrier current phone extension system which turns any AC socket into a
telephone outlet, transmitting voice and data signals on 220v power mains using closed-circuit, FM transmissions. The
Wireless Telephone Outlet can be plugged into any AC socket, providing an instant telephone outlet in any location
throughout a home or office, and eliminates the costly installation of hardwired telephone outlets in difficult, if not
impossible environments. Wireless Telephone Outlet systems are easy to install in less than two minutes.
The Wireless Telephone Outlet has also been designed to support V.34 and V.90 modems, making access to the World Wide
Web possible from any AC socket in the home, office, or classroom. The Wireless Telephone Outlet is robust enough to
support data access over the Internet and fast enough to support modem speeds required by users on the Web who want to
quickly download large quantities of data. It is the obvious solution for PC, laptop, and Internet TV users who want to
browse the Web from their TV or computer. In addition to its Internet applications the Wireless Telephone Outlet has
obvious application for use with TV set-top boxes providing an instant connection to impulse PPV cable TV channels.
"The Internet and improved computer and telecommunications technology in the last few years have greatly affected the
need for smart, easy-to-use solutions like the Wireless Telephone Outlet," said John Knab, president of Phonex.
"Receiving CTR 21 approval is significant in making this revolutionary wireless telephone technology available to a
broad base of Europeans. However, Phonex also plans to work specifically with every country in Europe to comply with
each country's unique requirements, much the way Phonex has worked to comply with the UK in order to obtain a BABT 701
declaration of conformity," said Knab.
