BEAVERTON, OR — VTech Communications, Inc., a global leader and manufacturer of SIP-based phones, announced today that TMC, a global, integrated media company, and its TMC Labs product review division, named the ErisTerminal^® VDP650 Cordless 4-Line Mobility Series as a 2018 Unified Communications TMC Labs Innovation Award winner.

The ErisTerminal VDP650 Cordless 4-Line Series with key system emulation features cordless desksets and cordless handsets, which provide small businesses with complete communication mobility without sacrificing the familiarity of traditional desktop setups. The series includes the VDP650 SIP DECT 4-Line Base Station, VDP651 DECT Cordless 4-Line Handset, and VDP658 SIP DECT Cordless 4-Line Deskset. Because the VDP658 deskset requires no power outlet to operate, employees can physically move the deskset from one location to another. The VDP650 base station offers a generous 500 feet of coverage range to prevent signal loss.

"We're extremely honored to receive the 2018 Unified Communications TMC Labs Innovation Award for the VDP650 Cordless Series—one of our most successful family of products on the market," said Chad Collins, vice president of sales, Americas, VTech Communications, Inc. "These phones were designed to streamline employee communication and facilitate seamless customer service by emulating a traditional 4 Line Key System in active small business environments. Employees can move around a space, all while easily managing internal and external calls."

The TMC Labs Innovation Award is selected by the distinguished engineers at TMC Labs and honors products that have demonstrated innovation, unique features, and noteworthy developments toward improving communications technology.

"VTech has displayed its commitment to quality and innovation in the development of the unified communications industry," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "I look forward to more innovation from VTech and their continued effort toward improving the future of the UC industry."

The 2018 TMC Labs Innovation Award winners will be featured on INTERNET TELEPHONY online.
