Wavelink Communications has announced the ruggedised Polycom Kirk 60-series handsets, an addition to the Kirk DECT wireless handset portfolio suitable for integrating with safety and production systems in manufacturing and industrial environments.
Designed to meet the needs of a mobile workforce working in harsh environments, the ruggedised 6020 and 6040 handsets combine maximum functionality with high durability. The handsets feature an IP64 industrial rating, ensuring resistance to dirt, dust and splashing water.
To enhance communication in noisy environments, the handsets come with a vibrating option and a headset jack with amplifier for large headsets and the 6040 also features Bluetooth support for wireless headset connection.
Lone workers and people requiring assistance can summon help immediately via the handsets’ alarm button. The 6040 also features a rip cord alarm, as well as automatic alarms such as ‘man down’, no movement and running detection.
Easily recognisable alarm icons in the handset display ensure that communication is clear and immediately understood. The handsets’ large, quality TFT colour displays provide a clear view from all angles and because each alarm category has a unique LED colour, users can easily determine the type of emergency - even if the phone is sitting in a belt clip.
The graphical colour icons used in the handsets free workers from language boundaries and can be understood worldwide. The graphical interface improves communication by offering an intuitive and easy-to-use handset menu.
