Ascalade launches VoIP phones in Europe

Ascalade, a US-based VoIP hardware manufacturer, has secured a deal with an unnamed service provider to launch its Companion Simple VoIP phones in Europe.

The VoIP provider’s application has been configured to work seamlessly with Ascalade’s handsets without the need for a separate piece of internet communications software.

Users will be able to make VoIP calls simply by plugging the phone into a USB port on a computer.

The Companion Simple handset replaces a VoIP headset, and aims to be more comfortable to use.

The handset features 32KHz audio processing and support for Microsoft Windows 2000 and XP.

Ascalade has already started shipping the handsets to Europe. They will be available under Ascalade’s European partner’s brand name to subscribers to their service.
