Carlson Wireless Technologies announced a trade-in program for Optaphone telephone line extenders. Carlson is offering a $500 trade-in credit that can be applied to an upgrade toward any of Carlson’s Trailblazer point-to-point or point to multipoint digital radio systems. While Carlson Wireless was not the manufacturer or distributor of the Optaphone, Carlson’s position in the fixed wireless phone market provides them with an opportunity to assist Optaphone owners as their equipment come to the end of its life.

“We’ve had many inquiries from folks seeking technical support for their Optaphones,” said Chris Spoerle, Director of Customer Service. “We want to let Optaphone owners know we have an opportunity to upgrade to a solution fitting today's data needs.”

Jim Carlson, CEO of Carlson Wireless encourages Optaphone customers to take advantage of this opportunity. “Our Trailblazer product is up to date, easily upgradeable and we offer stellar technical support for it,” he said. “In addition, our product offers a higher bandwidth and an integrated Ethernet port for easy broadband access.” The Trailblazer line operates in the 2.4, 5.4, 5.8 and 4.9 GHz frequency bands and provides perfect wireline quality service to customers who are beyond existing phone lines.

For almost a decade Carlson Wireless has been providing wireless communications solutions for large telecommunications projects, industry and public safety agencies to single telephone and data links. Carlson Wireless’ combination of their exclusive TrueTDM combined with TCP/IP technology allows for perfect wireline quality for POTS, 4-wire E&M, T1, SCADA and IP for a variety of applications.
