Panasonic Phone Systems

Panasonic has just released the all-new, all-singing all-dancing KX-VC500 HD Visual Communications Solution videoconferencing system. Panasonic has just debuted the new video conferencing system at the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas where companies go to reveal their new products. It couldn’t really come at a better time what with increased airport security and the snow in the UK which isn’t showing any signs of stopping…to have a big brand like Panasonic unveil a video conferencing system, businesses must be itching to get their hands on one!

Panasonic, maker of plasma TVs and phone systems, has succeeded in buying a controlling stake in re-chargeable battery maker Sanyo for a reported £2.8 billion. With climate change and environmental issues being a major focus at the minute, Panasonic has considerably strengthened its portfolio by purchasing a stake in Sanyo as the company is well-known for its environmentally friendly technologies. Sanyo now sell eco-friendlier hybrid car batteries which will add to Panasonic’s fuel cell division.

Panasonic announced yesterday (5/11/09) that they have started to tender an offer for Sanyo Electric company. The offer is estimated at around £2.6 billion. If the deal goes through, Panasonic could become one of the world’s biggest electronics manufacturers. The phone system and plasma TV manufacturer will hopefully be purchasing over 50% of Sanyo’s shares, the aim being to acquire Sanyo’s green businesses.

Panasonic are well on the way to having a good year this year. As well as having some great new products out on the market including the TC400 business phone system, Panasonic have taken a leaf out of Sony’s book and taken to reducing costs in order to improve profits. By restructuring and outsourcing to cut costs, Panasonic can expect a greater profit margin this winter although the company said that they don’t expect too swift a recovery from the recent recession.

Panasonic are due to release a new phone system headset range next month, the TC400 which come sunder the KX-TC400 phone system range. The new headsets will be extremely tough and extremely lightweight with comfort features for operators who wear them throughout the day. The TC400 headsets will connect to any telephone system and are compatible with VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) systems too. At the top of the range for crystal clear sound, the new Panasonic phone system additions are set to be a great seller.

Panasonic, leading market vendor of phone systems, have just announced the interoperability of their new SIP DECT phone systems with Broadsoft’s BroadWork’s platform.

The KX-TGP500 SIP phone systems will offer high quality voice solutions and will not interfere with wireless networks. SIP phone systems are exceedingly easy to install, with little in the way of hardware costs and the simple routing of calls over a broadband connection.

The KX-TGP500 SIP phone systems can support up to six handsets on a single internet connection and electrical outlet.

Panasonic, according to research company T3i Group, are the global leaders in the business telephone system market. For the first and second quarter of 2009 Panasonic achieved number one market share, staying 11 points ahead of the next vendor and achieving 11 of the overall market share. Panasonic, known especially for their IP based business phone system, have been consistent sellers throughout and their phone systems are hugely popular amongst SMEs (small to medium sized enterprises).

Phone System manufacturer Panasonic are planning to acquire the Sanyo Electric Company. Panasonic received the conditional approval from the European Union (EU) and the deal looks set to go ahead at a staggering cost of 806.7 billion yen (around £6 billion) in the largest electronics deal Japan has seen.

If the take-over goes ahead, Panasonic will be acquiring Sanyo’s solar cell technology, making it the biggest rechargeable battery maker in the world. So if you have a Panasonic phone system – or anything Panasonic – get ready for a long, long electronic life!

Panasonic doesn’t seem to be faring too well in the current climate – not that many people are, except perhaps the repo men and the MPs of course. Despite selling quality products at drastically reduced prices, Panasonic took a huge loss of £332 million from April to June which means they’ll now be watching out for every penny.

A low demand for electronic gadgets such as television sets and cameras is the current Panasonic worry. So let’s give them a helping hand – everyone, buy a Panasonic Phone System and put your money in a company that works for a living – not in the pockets of MPs. That don’t.

Panasonic Phone Systems launched its new Toughbook range recently, mobile computers designed to be…err..tough.

Its project general manager and strategic planning advisor Yoshiyuki Tanabe said the Toughbook CF-H1 is the first fully-rugged mobile clinical assistant while the Toughbook CF-U1 is the lightest and smallest rugged handheld computer. Cool. A mobile computer we can drop without fear.
