Telex launches $699 teleconferencing phone

Telex Communications recently announced a new business teleconferencing system, the Nexus Platinum. The Nexus Platinum is an expandable system that includes features such as full-duplex communications, multi-function LCD, 10-number memory, noise-canceling microphones, voice-tracking, and digital signal processing.

The phone will cost $699.99, Telex said. The lower price for the system is based on Telex's experience in creating broadcast control room communications systems, cockpit communications systems for commercial airliners, and advanced tactical communications systems for the military, the company said. Its research and technologies from these experiences were used to create the Nexus Platinum, Telex said. For more details, go to the Telex Web site .
