DECT cordless telephone systems have been gaining popularity over traditional phone systems for the last several years, and they now command a major share of the cordless telephone market. Gigaset Communications now offers the availability of the new Gigaset C610AIP DECT telephone in the US, which includes four parallel active calls (three VoIP an done PSTN) plus three built-in answering machines.

This phone system provides users with the ability to check emails and to interact with people using Facebook and Twitter right from the handset. Gigaset targets their products to the home and small business markets. The company is also partnering with Skinit.com to provide customization on select Gigaset phones. The C610AIP offers a room monitoring function where upon detecting a noise, it automatically dials another extension or a predetermined phone number.
