"The market opportunity for unified communications is huge, with analysts predicting

of easy-to-use VoIP and presence applications," commented Dale Peters, Managing

relationship with GN provides customers new levels of business value, helping

a key role, giving users greater mobility together with the freedom of hands-free
communication," added Peters. "Businesses can make real productivity gains by

optimised headsets are versatile and flexible, making them the ideal partner for
