With the new Wireless Plug-in Car Handsfree HF-6W Nokia is bringing the field of in-car communication solutions on a new level by introducing Speech Tracking Technology with the aim of attaining sound quality excellence. The exceptional audio clarity is achieved by using an array of four microphones. The concept of multiple microphones is widely used in recording studiosand with Nokia software algorithms it is possible to discern the speaker and largely eliminate the background noise.

Uwe Schmitz, Senior Product Manager, Nokia Automotive says, "The easy-to-install Nokia Wireless Plug-in Car Handsfree sets new standards in audio quality with the first ever use of Speech Tracking Technology in such class of device. Like all Nokia Automotive products it looks good, is easy to use and provides value for money."

In addition to the basic speech functions such as answering a call, ending a conversation and adjusting the volume, the integrated features also include a small charger cable for compatible mobile phones. When charging is completed, remove the cable from the phone and it will automatically retract into the housing, just like the power cord on your vacuum cleaner.

The new Nokia Wireless Plug-in Car Handsfree HF-6W is expected to be available in Europe, Asia and the US from the second quarter of 2005.
