WildWinds Wireless Retail System, the Bandicoot

WildWinds Labs has the system that will allow the communications capability of your large retail establishment to take off to levels that have formerly been possible only with the most expensive of PBX or cellular solutions.

The particular needs of a warehouse store are that the valued employees of the establishment are asked to cover a wide area. There are no desks; there isn’t even much opportunity to sit down. Now, these mobile workers can be provided with an instrument that can give them not only an individual telephone number, but the advanced features of desktop systems.

The WildWinds Wireless Bandicoot has been designed from the ground up with your large retail establishment in mind. It provides advanced PBX features of Hold, Forward, Pickup, and Conference, along with Voice Mail and Caller ID, all at a very competitive price. Optional Telemetry features allows you to use the system not only for voice and data communications, but also to monitor and control mechanical and electrical systems such as refrigeration and access portals.

Ease of use is the utmost goal of our user-configurable phones. The average user need do no more than to pick one of the interchangeable phone units, and answer two simple questions: "Please speak your name" and "Please enter your telephone number."  Upon entering these two simple items, the phone is configures and ready to use.

Utilizing the latest in voice processing technology, we are able to offer an advanced yet amazingly cost effective solution for you!
