Jabra is the Name
a target=”_blank” href=”http://jabra-headsets.com/”>Jabra is the brandname of the hands-free communications division of GN Netcom. Wireless and corded headset systems for business, recreation and contact centers are their specialty. Customer Interaction Solutions magazine awarded the GN9125 (a Jabra produced wireless headset) their 2008 product of the year award.
GN or Great Northern has a long history of innovation in communications. Way back in 1869 in Copenhagen, Denmark, the Great Northern Telegraph Company put into action the idea of connecting the trade capitals of Europe and Asia with telegraph wires that reached across continents and under the seas. It later became GN Store Nord and evolved into GN Netcom in 1987 with the invention of the headset, the ?stetomike? which was the first in a long line of innovative headsets that continues today.
In 1991, one of GN’s many industry ?firsts? was the ultra noise cancelling microphone. In 1993, GN acquired Jabra, a San Diego company, that specialized in exploring hands-free communications technology. Time after time, they have come up with firsts in this industry including the first analog wireless headset in 1996. In 2000 they came up with the first mobile Bluetooth and also the first truly wireless digital headset.
By 2005, GN and Jabra had contributed at least 3 updated versions of the Bluetooth to the wireless industry. They have manufactured new headsets with increasingly useful and innovative features such as built-in conference call functions and an all digital multi-purpose amplifier with the clarity of DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology.
In 2006, they pioneered the dual connection headset which operates through traditional phone lines and IP (internet protocol) telephony. Business communications through computer links are improving constantly, and Jabra’s products are a big part of that future.
