COM1 Releases First Auto-Protected Acoustic Coupler August 24, 192 -- French engineering and Italian design have united to fulfill an American need with Com1 Data Communications Corp.'s new Light Top Acoustic Coupler released this week in Carlsbad, California. The Light Top was conceived with the portable user in mind. Its unique folding design both protects and makes it adjustible to almost any phone. The design is more than sleek-looking; because it folds in on itself it is both auto-protected and compact - only 5 ounces and 4" long when not in use. Com1 attributes the Light Top's reliability to its high quality components and use of surface mount technology. The new acoustic coupler is capable of transmitting either data or faxes at 9600 bps and is compatible with any non-line powered modem for up to 40 hours of operation by four AAA batteries. Frederic Benattou, President of Com1, is enthusiastic. "We have developed the first truly professional acoustic coupler both in design and quality." Com1, as one of Europe's leading modem manufacturers, has several years of acoustic experience, including the Voyager modem, a pocket modem bundled with an acoustic coupler, available in the U.S. The Light Top is available directly from Com1 at 800-289-2661 or by selected dealers at a suggested retail price of $145.00.
