AH-K3002V
Companies are becoming increasingly aware of the risk to information and the protection of internal confidential information. Kyocera developed the PHS phone without a camera, the AH-K3002V, in response to the market needs. For functionality, the product is equipped with the Opera browser, and enables users to view websites for PCs (in HTML) via the Internet independently. The unit provides additional power during business activities, enabling the user to conduct an information search while on the road. Also, the product supports the new remote lock function(*3). If you lose the handset, you are able to lock the handset's functionality by remote control via the WILLCOM network. It is also possible to delete all data, including the telephone directory and mail addresses, thereby preventing the leakage and unauthorized use of internal data.
*3: The remote lock function is supported by downloading software available in December 2005. Firmware information will be posted on the Kyocera website at a later date.
<Background>
Recently, people are becoming increasingly aware of the protection of information in society, including the protection of confidential corporate and private information. Many companies are increasing security measures to prevent the leakage of information, including a prohibition on using and carrying mobile phones with a camera in laboratories and plants.
