The SpectraLink VIEW Certification Program ensures interoperability between the SpectraLink Wi-Fi handsets and 802.11 access points (APs). There are a number of VIEW certified APs from companies such as 3COM, Nortel, Alcatel, Aruba, Symbol and Trapeze. "We are delighted to be able to use this year's CeBIT stand to show our customers our expanded product portfolio and look forward to providing the market with an even broader spectrum of wireless solutions -- now encompassing Wi-Fi as well as DECT," stated Ole Lysgaard Madsen, president and managing director, KIRK telecom. "With this product launch we are at the first step of leveraging our acquisition of KIRK telecom. The launch of Wi-Fi products in the KIRK sales channels -- as well as the launch of DECT products in the existing SpectraLink channels -- is increasing our international reach, making us a truly global leader in enterprise wireless voice solutions," said John Elms, CEO SpectraLink. The NetLink handsets will be displayed at the KIRK telecom stand together with the range of KIRK DECT handsets.
