-
- The Hello Direct one is 900MHz. The stuff I saw from DAK last time
- they had one was a Plantronics 49MHz one (not even the newer 900MHz).
- AT&T no longer has theirs and Plantronics has abandoned the PhoneBEAM
- line of products they used to have (I have a 'non functional' Phone
- Beam IR speaker phone here from that era)
-
- I never had problems with the IR Recption, and it worked great, but
- was a battery hog. RF has the usual problems in a large computer
- environment, plus the security risks.
