C-Phone Signs Agreement With Sprint To Provide Video
Phone Technology
Sprint Video Phone Users Will be Able to See as well as
Talk To Friends and Loved Ones
WILMINGTON, N.C., December 16, 1997 -- C-Phone Corporation
(Nasdaq: CFON) announced today that it has signed an
Agreement with Sprint (NYSE: FON) to supply its C-Phone
consumer video technology. Sprint is co-branding C-Phone
Home(TM), an H.324 set-top videophone, which is manufactured
in the United States by C-Phone Corporation. The product
operates over a standard telephone line and uses a regular
television set to present video and audio during a phone
call. The C-Phone product has achieved remarkable new levels
of picture quality, affordability and ease of use. People
using the C-Phone product will have the ability to see their
friends and relatives while talking on the phone. The
Sprint/C-Phone video phone program has begun rolling out in
selected Sprint local markets.
"C-Phone is honored to have been chosen by Sprint as it's
supplier of consumer video phone technology," said Daniel
Flohr, Chairman and CEO of C- Phone Corporation. "This is a
milestone for our Company and we look forward to supporting
the Sprint relationship. We know Sprint's local customers
will appreciate this new, innovative service."
About C-Phone Home
The C-Phone Home video phone is a self-contained TV "set-top
box" that connects to a standard phone jack and to the TV.
The video phone units include a high quality, built-in
speakerphone for "hands-free" talking and a wireless remote
control for ease of use and one-button dialing. Privacy is
assured because each call always starts off as a normal
"voice-only" call -- only the receiving party can initiate
the video signal. As product enhancements become available,
the software in the units can be upgraded over the phone.
This C-Phone engineered technology is based on Lucent
Technologies' AVP(TM) III Audio/Video Processor. The product
is compatible with the H.324 international video standard. A
C-Phone Home unit, or any other H.324 compatible unit, is
required on the receiving end to complete a video call.
