the vibrating alarm make it an ideal phone for use in companies. Marketing
of the new T440 and T640 telephone systems was also commenced. Initial

appealing functionality and have an especially simple and low-cost
licensing model. Their market launch is being supported by a trade-in
program where customers receive a bonus for having their old system
disposed of properly by Gigaset. The N720 DECT IP multi-cell system, which
has been successfully established on the market for several years, has now

single installation.

Apart from its core function of finding things, the innovation in the
Bluetooth market offers further helpful functions for everyday use. A
location function enables users to find where they have parked their car
quickly and easily, for example. A list function that reminds them to take
along all the important things for their work when they leave home. Or an
alarm that sounds as soon as a tagged object leaves the smartphone's
Bluetooth range. All the G-tag's functionalities are enabled by the free
Gigaset G-tag app, which is easy to install on all mobile devices with
