Panasonic introduces the KX-WP1050 Wi-Fi phone for use with Skype™, the popular Voice Over IP communications service that allows point-to-point calling around the world. Skype™ users can enjoy incredible cost savings combined with the convenience of a regular phone.

The KX-WP1050 frees the user from being tied down to a computer so he or she can move from room to room without worrying about missed calls. Or make and receive calls in a public hotspot, which doesn't require browser authentication. The included travel router makes it easy to take this incredible communications solution on the road.

Panasonic has taken the complexity out of making Skype™ calls by including a complete kit which can be set up and used by virtually anyone with little or no computer experience. The included router simplifies the set up of the Wi-Fi access point, and guarantees a secure wireless connection with automatic 256-bit AES encryption setup (WPA). The router can also be plugged into a hotel or office network giving the user a wireless connection for their laptop and the ability to use the Wi-Fi phone simultaneously. The AC adapter is compatible with all voltages from 100V to 240V, so it can be used by simply attaching the AC cord (sold separately) for a particular country.

This new model offers the range and security of WPA encrypted Wi-Fi technology, as well as Quality of Service (QoS) to improve voice quality. It features easy menu-driven operation, and a loud handset speakerphone, as well as a built-in headset jack for those long international calls. At just 0.62" thick, and weighing less than 4 ounces, the phone is convenient and easy to carry. The 730mAh Lithium-ion battery can provide up to 72-hour standby time, 3-hour talk time, and can be charged with the included travel router, or from a USB connection on a PC.
