Bury 9060 – The safest way to talk whilst driving.

Road Safety has always been an important factor in our day to day lives. In recent years, due to the massive increase of portable communication devices available and used by the general public, the government have looked at many ways to improve road safety.

An ever increasing number of motorists use their mobile phones while driving.  Road Deaths have dramatically increased in recent years as more and more people join this modern trend. In a bid to reduce the number of fatalities caused by using a mobile whilst driving, in 2007 the government increased the maximum fixed penalty for those convicted of using a mobile device whilst driving to £60 and 3 points. In extreme cases where serious injury is caused, the fine can be unlimited, even resulting with imprisonment.

Mobile phone manufacturers and in car entertainment specialists have been looking at suitable ways to allow drivers to communicate safely, as well as keeping them in pocket with a clean licence. Over the last few years, numerous products have appeared on the market, ranging from basic wired hands-free kits that consist of an ear piece and a mic connected to the phone by a thin cable, to devices that wirelessly connect to the phone using Bluetooth.

Bluetooth has quickly become the most popular excepted solution for wireless needs, and products that use Bluetooth have rapidly become available all over the world.

In recent months Bury, a communications company based in Germany, have managed to integrate Bluetooth with state-of-the art voice recognition software, to make the most complete hands-free package available to date, the Bury 9060.

Comprising of a dash-mounted PDA device that directly connects into any vehicle stereo via Drive and Talk Mute leads, it pairs to the Drivers phone via Bluetooth.

Once paired, the driver can use the phone by either touching the PDA screen, navigating through its menus, or go completely hands free and navigate through the device using voice commands. The Voice recognition software is so advance it can recognise anyone’s voice without prior programming.  

If that wasn’t enough, the Bury 9060 pulls the complete phonebook from the phone, and will also allow manual dialling, for example saying “One” will dial the number 1.

The whole system works with the vehicles speakers, so if a call comes in or is made, the Bury 9060 mutes the stereo and the call audio comes through the speakers. One some mobile phones, including Sony Ericsson Models, the Bury will even read out incoming text messages!

As more people join the increasing volume of traffic on our roads, technology will be right behind, offering a safe solution for the hazards that present themselves. Bury have shown everyone the future in mobile phone hands-free, and will undoubtedly continue to lead the way in Bluetooth solutions for years to come.
