Handsfree & Headset Products
Cordless headsets using DECT technology are now beginning to become available, giving switchboard and callcentre operators new degrees of freedom. This new freedom is likely to result in such products finding new applications in roles not normally associated with the use of telephone headsets. One manufacturer's literature, for example, suggests "Use it while you cook, clean, write letters or water flowers in the garden' ! 'Or use it at the office: while you work at the computer or make repairs'.
