Walking through the re-routed main entrance of the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai during this year's Hong Kong Electronics Fair, one can hardly miss the gigantic telephone headset and amplifier on displayed by Accutone. Standing 400% to its supposed size, the huge models were used as an attraction to lure visitor to Accutone's Apple-style black booth with products displayed on lightboxes.

This year Accutone expanded its exhibition spaces with an additional booth in the Hall of Fame. Their usual booth in Hall 2 served as a display stage for their newly developed products, whereas their Hall of Fame booth offers room for meetings and showcase of existing lines. If this is any indication of the success Accutone has slowly acquired entering the company's 12th year anniversary, their new products may shed some light on their future directions.

Unlike previous years where their focus has always been on traditonal headsets for call centers and offices, this year the main focus was on their VoIP solutions aimed at IM chat and proprietary softphones. The V10 Accutone Communicator is a USB-connected personal conference unit with Skype controlling function aimed for business travellers' VoIP conference needs. A wireless solution for VoIP as well as mobile phones was also another highlight product this year in the form of V80BT, which is a bluetooth conference machine with touch-sensor controlling interface, designed for voice connection to bluetooth-enable PCs as well as mobile handsets.

Accutone also showcased a conceptual product designed for combining fixed-line telephone, VoIP and mobile voice communication into a single wireless headset solution. With the 3-in-1 bluetooth hub B20, users can now clean off their desktop spaces with just one single solution; and this design received excellent reviews during this year's show. 

Although their focused has been shifted a bit away from their mainstream basket, Accutone continue to expand their fixed-line telephone products with the introduction of the full-aluminium high-grade earwear headset H30 as well as two significant upgrade to their 710 and 363 series in the form of ClearTube microphone design.

The wide range of products displayed attracted record-breaking visits to the Accutone booths this year, and as Marketing Director explains "...it's not just the number of visits this year (which shows great prospect), but the quality of the visitors. Most of the buyers are in-trade experts who have been in the headset industry for many years, and a number of interested buyers are from giant brandnames." It all adds up to show that the upcoming 2008 will be a promising year indeed.
