Designed for today’s distributed workforce, the Plantronics Savi™ Series provides a new level of communication versatility combined with superior audio and reliability.

“As Unified Communications becomes more prevalent in the enterprise, professionals are increasingly using a mix of communication tools, including desk phones, softphones and mobile phones, on an everyday basis,” said Melanie Turek, industry principal, Unified Communications at Frost & Sullivan. “Intelligent headsets that can unify devices and applications to help eliminate costs and improve workforce collaboration are truly essential for successful UC deployments.”

Revenues for the worldwide unified communications application and service markets grew by 294 percent in 2008, according to Frost & Sullivan. The analyst firm forecasts a CAGR of 72 percent for the market (2008-2014).

The Plantronics Savi Series features two wireless headset systems: Savi Office and Savi Go. Savi Office is designed for office workers and provides a single wireless headset for mixing desk phone calls with PC audio and softphone calls.

“Plantronics is participating in numerous Unified Communications pilot projects throughout Australia and New Zealand. By understanding end-user needs and preferences, we’re helping organisations increase adoption of UC,” said Graeme Gherbaz, Managing Director, Plantronics Australia. “What is clear is that easily interfacing with the end-point devices is just as critical as the UC and telephony backbone. Our new Savi products simplify the transition to UC by delivering excellent audio, comfort and ease of use for end users.”

Plantronics Savi Office – PC and Desk Phone Integration

As the PC emerges as an audio platform for business, professionals require a way to seamlessly transition between the various audio-intensive functions performed during the workday. With the Savi Office headset system, professionals can use a single wireless headset for PC audio, including web conferencing, multimedia streaming and music listening, and switch to/from both desk phone and softphone calls at the touch of a button.

Plantronics Savi Office features a new software application, PerSono® Suite, to manage calls and audio. PerSono Suite provides an intuitive, one-click interface to let users mix desk phones and softphone calls, mute a call, or put a call on hold with a single click. Users can personalise PerSono Suite and save ring tones, volume levels, and default settings.

Sydney, Australia – May 01, 2009 – Plantronics (NYSE: PLT) today announced its new GameCom 777 surround sound gaming headset featuring Dolby Headphone technology, which allows users to play PC games, listen to music and watch movies with dramatic virtual 5.1 surround sound effects.

The Plantronics GameCom 777 features Dolby headphone and Dolby Pro Logic II technologies in a plug-and-play USB sound card that digitally processes sound for immersive audio. Similar to its application in high-performance home theater systems, Dolby Pro Logic II, processes high-quality stereo (two-channel) (redundant with above) audio into five channels of full-bandwidth surround sound.

In addition to its surround sound capabilities, the GameCom 777 was engineered with numerous functional and ergonomic wearing benefits. Features include a unique ‘hide-away’ boom designed to tuck into the headband and turn the headset into a pair of high-quality headphones for music and multimedia use. A telescoping, noise-canceling microphone provides more accurate positioning for voice clarity. And in-line volume and microphone mute controls provide gamers fingertip audio and voice direction.

“Over the past 18 months, Plantronics has immersed itself in the gaming community to understand their unique headset needs,” said Chris Brown, Retail Product Manager - Plantronics, Australia and New Zealand. “Plantronics has observed that gamers want a rugged, comfortable headset with the best sound available to improve competitive game play. The GameCom 777 delivers on these requirements by uniting Dolby digital surround sound with a durable, unique headset design that has been tuned for gamers.”

“Dolby surround sound is a great way to bring more excitement and realism to gaming sessions,” said Brown.
In additional to multi-directional Dolby virtual surround sound, the GameCom 777 delivers rich bass for a truly immersive gaming experience. A one-step USB 2.0/1.1 makes connection truly plug and play.

A Complete Lineup of PC Headsets

Alongside the GameCom 777, Plantronics is introducing two analog PC headsets – the GameCom 367 and GameCom 377 PC headsets. All three GameCom headsets are built of lightweight materials and feature specialised earpods to distribute pressure for maximum comfort. Each headset offers the ‘hide-away’ boom, a telescopic, noise-canceling microphone and in-line volume and microphone mute controls. Cables are made of durable reinforced materials to withstand wear and tear by gamers.

The complete line of new Plantronics’ PC gaming headsets includes:

Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE: PLT) today announced the Australian introduction of the new Discovery™ 665 Bluetooth® Headset with AudioIQ®, the industry’s first Digital Signal Processing (DSP) sound technology to automatically optimise audio levels on both sides of every call — significantly increasing clarity for mobile phone callers, as well as for the listener on the other end of conversations.

Leveraging Plantronics’ 40-plus years of sound innovation, AudioIQ makes wireless conversations effortlessly clear, regardless of the environment. For incoming calls, AudioIQ automatically adapts to background noise levels — from a quiet taxi to a noisy city street — and intelligently improves the receive quality, clarity and volume level. For outgoing calls, AudioIQ reduces background noise for listeners by up to 7-8 decibels, or by approximately 50 percent. It also minimises interference from artifacts such as speech distortions to maintain clear voice intelligibility.

“AudioIQ goes beyond making conversations sound better — it’s about making communications easier and more natural for people on both sides of a call. Long gone are the days when mobile phones users are forced to seek out a quiet location to answer an important call,” said Renee Niemi, general manager & vice president of Mobile & Entertainment for Plantronics.

“By incorporating AudioIQ into Plantronics’ new Bluetooth headsets, we are delivering optimal communications capabilities alongside our incomparable style and comfort.”

Plantronics Discovery 665: The Road Warrior Companion

The new Plantronics Discovery 665 Bluetooth headset with AudioIQ, based on the Plantronics Discovery 655, is ideally suited for road warriors and in-car use.

After conducting extensive research focused on headset usage in the car and whilst travelling, Plantronics developed a unique charging and storage system for cars that also includes a new visual indicator for incoming calls.

In addition, the Discovery 665 includes Plantronics’ new QuickPair™ technology, which greatly simplifies the Bluetooth setup process for consumers by automatically initiating pairing mode (when powered) if no device history is present. Once paired successfully, the Bluetooth headset stays on for instant use. If not paired successfully, the headset automatically shuts off after 10 minutes; when powered up again it automatically goes into pairing mode until successfully paired with a Bluetooth-capable phone.

To further ensure a ‘painless’ pairing process for consumers, Plantronics recently launched its interactive online pairing guide: http://www.plantronics.com/easytopair.

“Personal technology should be intuitive and help consumers simplify their lives,” added Niemi. “Plantronics is taking steps towards this with QuickPair and other technology innovations that make headset setup and use that much easier.”

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — November 28, 2006  — Plantronics, Inc. (NYSE:PLT) today announced that Oracle, the world’s largest enterprise software company, selected the Plantronics Voyager™ 510-USB Bluetooth® headset system to optimize Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) communications and provide hands-free efficiency to its global workforce.

Combining the Voyager 510-USB with a VoIP-enabled laptop and mobile phone, Oracle employees now have a single wireless headset to use across multiple applications. For example, the Voyager 510-USB allows employees to use voice commands to log into Oracle®  Collaboration Suite, listen to and draft new e-mails, and access calendar items, address book contacts, and other information. The result: improved efficiency through faster communications and decision making and enhanced collaboration.

“We evaluated numerous headset offerings to complement Oracle’s VoIP deployment, and the Plantronics Voyager 510-USB is clearly ahead of the pack for audio performance, ease of use and style and comfort,” said Mark Sunday, Senior Vice President and CIO, Oracle. “We are also very impressed with Voyager’s performance with Oracle Collaboration Suite. Now employees have a single wireless headset for all of their voice and data communications.”

Oracle chose to standardize on the Plantronics Voyager 510-USB for several key benefits, including:

• Clear conversations: A noise-canceling microphone and wind-reduction technology within the headset provide brilliant sound for both indoor and outdoor environments.
• Flexibility: Plantronics’ proprietary multipoint technology allows Oracle users to switch between multiple Bluetooth-enabled devices, including softphones and mobile phones, with the touch of a button.
• Efficiency: Oracle employees can conduct hands-free calls up to 33-feet away from their laptop and mobile phone, providing the freedom to perform other activities in support of the call, such as researching customer data, sending an e-mail or printing a document.

• Simplicity: The system includes a plug-and-play USB adapter that eliminates cumbersome Bluetooth software setup processes, resulting in reduced IT maintenance and support costs and high employee satisfaction.

• Comfort: The headset features a lightweight, discreet design and can be worn on either ear for all-day comfort.

“Ergonomics and hands-free benefits were key factors in selecting the Voyager 510-USB,” said Maria Maskiewicz, Global Corporate Procurement and IT Vendor Management, Oracle. “The headset is extremely comfortable and will help reduce neck and back pain typically associated with prolonged handset usage. Additionally, the headset is very discreet which will encourage employees to wear it frequently.”

Oracle employees also benefit from Plantronics PerSonoCall® software. PerSonoCall provides remote ring detection and enables users to wirelessly answer/end PC telephony calls away from their working area. By “cutting the cord” between the PC and headset, professionals have the freedom to roam, talk between conference rooms or at the printer, and be completely hands-free to multi-task and collaborate more effectively.

In addition to the Voyager 510-USB, Oracle employees are also using the Plantronics CS50-USB for VoIP calls within the office. The CS50-USB is a premium wireless VoIP system designed for in-office use that provides excellent fidelity and range. With the CS50-USB, users can have conversations and answer/end calls up to 200 feet away from their PC. The Plantronics CS50-USB includes four different wearing styles and one-touch call management convenience. The CS50-USB also comes with PerSonoCall software for remote ring detection and call answer/end.
