Beaverton, Ore – VTech Telecommunications Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of VTech Holdings Ltd. (HKSE: 303), today announced that their line of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Hospitality phones have been certified as compatible by Phybridge, for Phybridge's patented UniPhyer and PhyAdapter products, for a complete end-to-end communication solution for hotels and universities migrating to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology.

VTech's SIP hotel phones are designed with the unique needs of the hospitality industry in mind. Contemporary styling complements a range of interiors, while innovative, user-friendly features and technologies accommodate a variety of business models and property needs.

Products in the Contemporary SIP series include:

• 1-line/2-line corded phones, Petite phones, DECT 6.0 cordless phones and DECT accessory handsets and trimstyle phones.

VTech's rich history in manufacturing excellence, combined with a global sales and support team, provides customers with the highest degree of confidence in enhancing the guestroom communications experience. VTech hotel phones feature unique antibacterial plastics that help protect hotel guests and staff from germs.

Phybridge's technology is unique to the hospitality industry and helps hotels migrate from analog phones to SIP phones without incurring additional expense to upgrade their cable infrastructure. VTech's phones operate seamlessly with Phybridge's patented equipment, providing hotels with reliable, feature-rich and attractive SIP guestroom phones that are easy to install and maintain. This offering provides a solution for many of the unique communication needs in the hospitality market.

"The VTech-Phybridge strategic alliance represents the next phase in the evolution of our hospitality strategy," said Dan Seale, president of VTech's Hospitality Division. "By incorporating Phybridge technology with VTech hotel phones for an all-in-one offering, the clear winners are global hotel chains who need cost-effective solutions to convert properties from analog to SIP technology."

"Working with an industry leader with the scale of VTech broadens our market potential and delivers a complete solution that integrates easily with our technology," said John Croce, CEO of Phybridge. "As more hotels migrate to SIP, it makes sense to look for an integrated solution that will save money, resources and installation time. Our patented technology allows us to deliver power and Ethernet with a range of 1,200 feet, over a single twisted pair of telephony cable."

The alliance enables both companies to expand their reach into the hospitality and campus markets. The alliance leverages each company's strengths in technology, manufacturing and industry know how to provide an efficient means for hospitality and campus customers to migrate to a communications system that touts a lower cost of ownership and increased resource efficiencies, while delivering enhanced aesthetics within the guestroom and campus environments.

VTech will showcase its latest hotel phone technology at HITEC, the world's largest hospitality technology show, June 25-28, in Baltimore, Maryland (Booth #2425).
