Following on from its digital decoders and residential gateways sagem communications has designed a residential telephone that is both economical and ecological. The Sagem D16T cordless telephone uses less power, has a lower radio wave emission level and results in a reduced amount of waste both for raw materials and packaging. There is a great deal of talk about it but any real convergence of low cost sustainability and functionality is rarely achieved. Sagem communications has developed and is now making its eco technology products available to the general public which are both less expensive and more environmentally friendly. The Sagem D16T cordless telephone takes the user's key requirements into account without overdoing the functions whilst also taking care of the environment
