Jabra Receives Unified Communications(R) Magazine's 2009 Product of the Year Award

NASHUA, N.H., April 26 /PRNewswire/ -- Jabra announced today that Technology Marketing Corporation (TMC®) has named the Jabra PRO 9470 and Jabra GO 6430 as recipients of its 2009 Unified Communications magazine Product of the Year Award.  

"We are thrilled that TMC's Unified Communications magazine has once again recognized Jabra as a leader in the UC market. Our year over year commitment to increasing productivity in the workplace through integrating our products across multiple communication platforms is paying off and consumers are the ones who are benefitting," said Jerry Mayo, president, GN Netcom, North America.

The Jabra PRO 9470 and Jabra GO 6430 combine the sound, range and quality performance of a professional office headset with the flexibility of mobile headsets, offering the ease of using a single device for several Unified Communications (UC) solutions.  The streamlined user experience ultimately leads to fewer missed calls and increased productivity.  The Jabra PRO 9400 and Jabra GO 6400 Series also deliver a clearer, more natural audio experience via wideband sound transmission and Noise Blackout™ technology, a dual microphone technology that eliminates virtually all background noise.

"This recognition is reflected in GN Netcom's higher than expected growth, especially on the important U.S. market where the value of our intellectual property and new patents gained with the development of Jabra PRO and Jabra GO are easily recognized in unified communications and collaboration deployments," continued Mayo.  "Jabra offers the only endpoints in the world advantaged by the pervasive connectivity of switching seamlessly between desk phones, soft phones on laptops and mobile phones.  Employees are hugely advantaged by answering every call the same way each time hands free."

"It is an honor to grant Jabra with a 2009 Product of the Year Award for their Jabra GO 6430 and Jabra PRO 9470 products.  Jabra has proven their dedication to quality and excellence while supporting the needs in the marketplace," stated Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC.  "We look forward to seeing continued advancement in technology solutions from Jabra in the future."
