New Mini-PABX for Small Business
February 2007 we introduced the new UD-1016-Mini Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) for small to medium business. This can have up to 10 lines and comes equipped for 16 extensions and includes 4 x Display 'phones. It is identical to the full-size UD-F 1016 except the case is not as high, meaning there is less room for major expansion cards, but still has more than most 16-extension businesses need anyway. The price (RRP) is an incredible $999 including GST



New All-in-One for Point-of-Sale
The new All-in-One Point-of-Sale units can now carry 2.8GHz processors, making them 2 1/2 times more powerful than normal POS terminals. All come with 5-Wire resistive Touch Screens, at prices far more affordable then ever before. These units save valuable desk space and avoid the over-heating problems of having a computer under the counter; meaning better reliability and less maintenance.



Quality Control
All products are carefully examined prior to selection as a product line. We insist on "Value" and reliability from our factories. Quality control is assured through the certification processes to meet European standards. Where possible and where the feature allows the price to remain acceptable, we insist on RoHS compliance on top of our minimum requirement of European Compliance (EC) certification.



PoS and RoHS
Point of Sale products are moving towards RoHS compliance, and while some items are effected by the additional costs, some are still very reasonable. We will continue to choose on "Value and reliability" for your enjoyment. For example, the new All-in-One POS Touch Unit has been upgraded to contain a auto-switching RoHS power supply at no additional cost to you. The introduction of dual-core processors will eventually effect the POS market, but for now that is a long way off due to the different nature of the needs for POS.

All our associates work with us closely and report any issues that we should be changes or replaced, ensuring you of the very best service at all times.


Why RoHS?
RoHS stands for "Reduction of Hazardous Substances" and manufacturers have to meet very strict guidelines if they want to sell their products within the European Common Market. This is a very ambitious and environmentally friendly approach to the mass-producing world we live in, and should be commended. Printed Circuit Boards (PCB's) can no longer use Lead Solder or any other hazardous material when being produced. It has made life difficult for many irresponsible multi-nationals that don't care about hazardous waste, but the fact they can not sell to Europe is forcing them to change their attitudes.
