Soundshield protecting Australian Taxation Office 5 May 2005 Silvertongue distributor, Polaris Communications, has won a major contract with the Australian Tax Office (ATO) – one of the largest open tenders for headset products in Australia. The minimum two-year contract is worth AUD$1.5m in the first year. The ATO will replace all headsets with Silvertongue Soundpro; 3500 headsets will be rolled out immediately, with a further 4000 to 5000 units earmarked over the next few years. Polaris recommended coupling Silvertongue Soundpro headsets with Soundshield, the leading digital acoustic shock protection device designed and manufactured by Polaris Communications in Australia (NB:8500 units have been rolled out: November 2006). Soundshield prevents undesirable acoustic noise or high-pitched tones from reaching the ear of the headset user by detecting and instantly rejecting these shrieks within 16-32 milliseconds. Polaris Managing Director, Mr Wayne Guest, nominated a couple of key factors that helped win the contract – exclusive availability of Soundshield plus Polaris’ track record in managing logistics of major equipment roll-outs. “This is the largest Australian telephone headset order in recent years, we emphasised the need for a protection device such as Soundshield which, when combined with Silvertongue headsets, provided the ATO with the optimum solutionto their needs” Mr Guest said. The ATO conducted intensive field testing on Soundshield and the results clearly demonstrated the device was effective in preventing acoustic injury for headset wearers. The test also included competing products so a performance comparison could be made. For more information, please contact Polaris Communications: 1800 626 505 | [email protected] www.polaris.com.au
