The Uniden TRU9485 is a cordless phone that runs on a 5.8GHz frequency. This frequency range allows for longer signal distances while minimizing interference with other wireless devices such as cell phones and wireless routers. The TRU9480 is also an expandable phone system, meaning that only one base station is required to handle up to 10 independent handsets. Each handset can be individually named, have its own phonebook and caller ID. The handsets can also work as a two-way radio between themselves to act as an ad-hoc intercom system.
