WorldGate Readies Residential Video Phone

WorldGate, a 10-year-old company that got its start in the set-top box space, will soon release a second generation video phone.

 

The company will rely on OEM partners and the channel to bring the product to market.

 

The residential-focused product, which is being called WorldGate 4000 internally, will be differentiated in the marketplace based on its reasonable price (it will be offered to OEM partners for about $250), high service quality (video is in HD) and multiple functionality (it serves a digital picture frame when not in use as a communications unit).
