USRobotics to Make VoIP Products

By Digital Trends Staff September 12, 2005

Networking products company USRobotics today announced they were planning to enter the Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) equipment market during the fourth quarter of this year. Their first product, to be released next month, is scheduled to be a USB Internet phone.

This USB Internet phone, USRobotics said, is designed to work with Skype and other VoIP services. It offers features like echo cancellation, noise reduction and a LCD screen which supports Caller ID.

Other USRobotics VOIP products currently in the works include a VoIP telephone adapter, USB speaker phone and a 4-port wireless router with two VoIP phone ports.

"VoIP is the next logical step for USRobotics," says CEO Joseph Hartnett. "Our customers are interested in a full slate of products to support their wireless and Internet-dependent lifestyles. Our VoIP line of products will allow them to optimize their investment in broadband internet connectivity, by bringing new technology into homes and businesses, designed to make Voice communications as simple and comfortable as traditional telephone calling."

We have the tech to make wildfires less severe. Deploying it is the hard part

forest fire season prevention

In this year alone, over 8,000 wildfires have burned nearly 4 million acres in California -- including six of the largest wildfires California has ever faced in its 170-year history. At one point, it was so bad that the sky turned orange and thousands had to evacuate their homes. But California isn't alone. In Oregon, wildfires have burned over a million acres this year, and Colorado faced its largest fire to date.

Climate change is a major contributor to the increase in the number and severity of wildfires the West is experiencing, and while we work to fight it, we need to find ways to make these fires less destructive. One company might have the answer.

Picture it: Dancing the night away with cocktails in hand, fresh air breezing over your skin as you step out onto a quiet balcony. Below, lights from small towns dot Earth’s darkened landscape as you pass overhead, the moon reflected in an inky lake.

This is how air travel once was aboard passenger airships — and how it could be again, if airships continue on the promising path they’ve been sailing the past decade.
