First Telephony Platform to Conform with RoHS and WEEE

"Brooktrout Technology, Inc., a leading supplier of media processing and call control products, today announced new products in its TR1000 voice processing board family that are the industry's first telephony platforms that meet the European Union Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive. Brooktrout has also implemented Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) labeling on all European Union products to reduce customer expenses in meeting the WEEE directive. These platforms are the first in a series of products that are planned to meet the environmental requirements in advance of the July, 2006 deadline. "Brooktrout is committed to achieving compliance with all applicable environmental legislation and this first product places Brooktrout Technology at the vanguard of the communications enabling technology industry," said Peter Vescuso, vice president of market development for Brooktrout Technology. "Brooktrout's compliance with these regulations is an example of our business' commitment to environmentally sound practices. We have already implemented WEEE and plan to meet the RoHS requirements in our entire voice and fax product lines by the time the directive takes effect in July 2006."" Source: prnewswire.com
