WorkPhoneAtHome.com to Supply Telecommuters with Aastra 57i CT
Default Phone Device Selected for New Work Productivity Service Designed to Save Gas Expenses and Preserve Commuters' Sanity

DUMFRIES, VA – Etherspeak Communications today announced the launch of a new consumer/small business service bundle designed to bring the office closer to home and improve overall quality-of-life issues. Officially dubbed "WorkPhoneAtHome.com", this revolutionary new telecommuting solution bundles various service plans, remote user interface for office desktops and online conference/meeting offerings with the industry acclaimed Aastra 57i CT set of IP phones.

Etherspeak, the leading provider of open standards communications solutions for small business and small enterprise customers, believes the true goal of WorkPhoneAtHome.com initiative is to put an end to the "daily grind" – that is, spending senseless hours a day sitting in traffic while gas prices continue to skyrocket.

"We hear everyone talking about 'Going Green' but what can they do about it? Well, for starters, they can leave the commute at home by dramatically improving work productivity by picking up a Work-Phone-At-Home … all for a price that is less than a tank of gas," explains Neil Darling, managing partner at Etherspeak Communications.

WorkPhoneAtHome.com service plans start at a very affordable rate of only $49.95 per month. The WorkPhoneAtHome.com launch is being supported through local radio advertising during peak drive times and targeted Internet marketing campaigns.

"Having Aastra on board at launch really helps to give our WorkPhoneAtHome initiative tremendous visibility and allows our prospective customers to better understand how feature-rich and robust this telecommuting solution is," Darling says.

"Etherspeak has demonstrated they are the kind of innovative service providers and forward-thinkers that truly understand the robust potential that we have engineered into our product and can harness those capabilities. We are delighted to join with them for this launch and congratulate them on their foresight," said John Drolet, Vice President of Sales at Aastra Telecom USA.

The 57i sets are part of Aastra's 5i line of phones based on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP), which is widely recognized as the new standard for communications. The Aastra model features a handset basestation with a 144x128 backlit LCD display and up to 30 programmable function capabilities while the 57i CT encompasses an integrated cordless base providing VoIP mobility employing secure 2.4GHz Frequency Hopped Spread Spectrum technology.
