Singapore, 20 July 2011 – Jabra, a world leader in developing innovative hands-free solutions, today announced the introduction of its new portfolio of Skype-certified products – to provide consumers in Singapore with a hands-free VoIP solution for all of life’s situations in their mobile lifestyle. The rapid growth of the VoIP calling industry – Skype alone has more than 663 million registered users worldwide – has fueled demand for better headset and speakerphone solutions with top-of-the-line sound quality and features as consumers turn to laptops, mobile devices, tablets and PCs to make more and more of their calls.

With broadband Internet at 103 per cent penetration or 1.2 million household subscriptions in Singapore , many consumers increasingly access the Internet to communicate – whether via messaging tools like Facebook and Yahoo! Messenger or voice applications like Skype. Recently, Facebook also announced free Skype video calling for Facebook users while Google has gone ahead to launch Google+ with video chat.

Rigorously tested and certified by Skype, Jabra SPEAK410 is small, portable, and a powerful must-have with High Definition Voice. Just plug the integrated USB cable to your laptop or PC and using broadband connection at home, office or anywhere wirelessly, you can easily set up 1-on-1 or small group conference calls over Skype or any VoIP client to talk with your co-workers, family or friends. Jabra SPEAK410 retails for S$218 (RRP) at Challenger, EpiCentre, NuBox stores and other authorized Jabra resellers in Singapore.
