Vonage has teamed with NETGEAR Inc. to develop a suite of broadband telephony devices incorporating the latest version of Texas Instruments' VoIP and WLAN chipsets. These devices will enable consumers to use integrated broadband voice and data applications compatible with the Vonage service.
First available will be a voice-enabled 802.11g wireless router followed by a wired two-port telephone adapter/router. These products are expected to be available to customers of Vonage's digital telephone service as early as October of this year.
"We want to offer our customers the convenience of purchasing a wired or wireless router bundled with the Vonage service at an attractive price," says Jeffrey A. Citron, chairman and CEO for Vonage. "We're very pleased to work with a company that shares our emphasis on customer convenience and ease-of-use."
