The Durafon is a truly industrial, long range cordless phone. Available with one or four lines and up to 36 handsets per base, the Durafon
maintains clear reception at amazingly far distances. It is durable, splash-proof and powerful, with a hot swapping battery permit and two-way radio.
It also has many phone system features available, such as conference calling, music on hold and text messaging.
Below are just some examples of the many applications for the Durafon long range cordless phone system. It is a useful and powerful communications tool anywhere there is a large distance to cover.
"EnGenius Industrial Cordless is the longest range cordless phone and 2 - way radio system in Australia. Built tough, it's ideal for tough applications requiring mobility like warehouses, IT people, car lots, farms, manufacturing, schools, and hotels."
For applications where the external antenna is required to get the signal above obstacles like indoor and outdoorstaff on a campus, the DuraFon 4X requires only 1 antenna for all 4 lines versus 4 antennas for the DuraFon 1X. Terminal antennas need to be installed 20' apart to avoid interference. Because the DuraFon 4X requires only 1antenna per 4 lines, installation of a system with antenna is much easier and more cost effective than with the DuraFon 1X.
Each line on the DuraFon 4X can be dedicated to an individual handset or to a group, so a user can claim access to 1 to 4 lines (or analog ports) exclusively for their use. One executive could have their own base with 4 line access. Or two IT team members could each have 2 lines dedicated to them off one base. Or four plant floor managers could each have their own line off one base.
EnGenius DuraFon 4X is ideal for workgroups that are sharing line access and need to be able to contact eachother for direct handset - to - handset 2 - way radio. Up to 36 users can share 4 analogue lines or ports. Or one line can be dedicated to a supervisor leaving the other three lines open for the group.
"With the longest range of any cordless phone in Australia and a robust and rugged design, EnGenius Industrial Cordless lets employees make and receive their phone calls without being stuck to their desks - or even in their own department - or talk via private, full - duplex 2 - way radio without tying up the phone line up to 250,000 square feet. The systems are expandable to 4 lines and 90 handsets depending on configuration or even further behind a PBX off any analog line or port."
In workgroup applications like retail stores most employees don't need their own dedicated line or extension or they may need one extension per department. The Durafon allows users to share phone lines (or ports off a PABX), transfer between handsets, and talk to each other via full - duplex 2 - way radio.
For plant or store managers who likely require their own dedicated extensions, bases can be set up in a 1 - base - to - 1 - handset ratio off analogue ports behind a PABX or key system. By establishing a hunt group or forwarding calls when they are not at their desks, managers can make and receive calls from their regular extension wherever they go in their application.
Because the 2 - way radio is independent of the base station and has a private 1 - to - 1 link with patented frequency hopping, security can talk to each other all over the store without anyone listening to their conversation and without tying up the phone line.
