Vonage Offers Motorola Multifunctional Home Networking Device
Motorola Inc. announced this week that Vonage Holdings Corp., a major provider of broadband telephone service, will begin offering the Motorola VT2442 voice-over-IP gateway to customers, making it easier to incorporate broadband telephone service into their home network.
"We've been working with Vonage for over two years, so there are a large number of Motorola voice gateways already being used by Vonage customers," Jeff Walker, senior director of marketing at Motorola, told Ziff Davis Internet News.
"This new agreement is extending our relationship beyond basic internal adapters, now giving Vonage customers a voice gateway that provides extensive networking features and advanced capabilities."
The VT2442 is part of a range of products that Motorola has created for VOIP providers. The device uses Texas Instruments' TNETV1060 VOIP gateway chip set to enhance the quality and feature offerings presented to customers who use Vonage's broadband telephone service. Customers can share high-speed Internet connections around the house and access Vonage's telephone services from one device.
The VT2442 supports up to two lines of telephone service and offers call waiting, call forwarding and caller ID. In addition, the device includes a home network router with four Ethernet ports that can be used to connect computers and gaming consoles, as well as a firewall for Internet security.

Currently, the supply agreement between Motorola and Vonage for the VT2442 VOIP gateway is exclusive. However, since the device is relatively new, there is a possibility that the company will sell the VT2442 through other channels in the future as well, according to a representative from Motorola.
"Motorola is an ideal partner: They are a market leader in broadband-enabled products that are high-quality and easy-to-use. This partnership builds upon Vonage's product portfolio, giving customers more choice when they subscribe to our award-winning service," said Jeffrey Citron, CEO of Vonage Holdings Corp. "Motorola is a proven partner with the experience and support to ensure the quality that is essential to our business."
