Wireless Headset Technology From Past to Present

Wireless technology is best known for making history in 1969 when the technology

transmitted the famous first words from the moon “That’s one small step for man, one giant

leap for mankind”. Since then, wireless headset technology has come a long way in the

field of communications technology. Wireless headsets are now the choice for air traffic

controllers, 911 dispatchers, the New York Stock Exchange and many other businesses that

rely on wireless headset technology.

Headsets come in a number of models which allow you to:

Integrate PC and desk phone communications with one wireless headset

Unify PC and mobile communications throughout your office

Connect to desk phones with performance, style and comfort all in one wireless

headset

Use a handset lifter for remote call answer and end capability

There are a number of wireless headset models which are both versatile and flexible.

Compatible with most phones, light weight models provide up to 10 hours of talk at a time

and those with small base stations can also be used as a charging station when you are not

using the headset. Most batteries are a lithium ion polymer that can be fully charged in 3

hours. The life expectancy of most batteries is 1 to 2 years.

Wireless technology offers a number of features that businesses will find extremely

beneficial, including a good range – the user can walk or roam up to 300 feet from the

desktop phone. The 1.9 GHz voice frequency was developed to eliminate interference and

static humming no matter whether you are close or far from the base unit. A 64 bit digital

encryption signal will ensure privacy at all times.

Some headsets have up to four microphone options and four speaker controls to enable a

better range and ability to fine tune the system to your personal phone and volume needs.

Look for an up and down switch for setting the microphone sound level which will allow you

to modify the level of sound and allow the person on the other end of the line to hear you

better. Also look for a knob on the side of the base unit that will allow you to adjust the

phone’s clearness.

Wireless headsets are also designed for comfort. There are several headband adjustments

and ear pieces to choose from. The earpiece can be worn over the ear, over the head or

behind the head using a neckband. These ear pieces can be used without the headband and

weigh less than an ounce, making them ergonomically designed for comfort.

Ultimately, look for a well-known, highly trusted brand that provides superior wireless

headsets. You want to find a versatile wireless headset than can be used in a number of

environments including businesses, offices, at home or for personal use.
