The company is most active in the area of communications technology. Gigaset manufactures DECT telephones. It has around 1,250 employees and sales activities in approximately 70 countries.
Gigaset AG is listed on the Prime Standard of Deutsche Börse and its shares are traded on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the symbol 'GGS' (ISIN: DE0005156004).
Gigaset Communications was established on October 1, 2008, when Arques Industries, a private equity firm, acquired 80.2% equity interest in Siemens Home and Office Communication Devices GmbH & Co. KG (SHC) from Siemens AG for 45 million euros.
Gigaset creates numerous products for home and small office use:
Recent Gigaset and Gigaset pro cordless phones support Cat-iq 2.0 with HD Voice, allowing high-quality calls with a frequency response up to 7 kHz on VoIP/ phones and home gateways, using the G.722 wideband audio codec (dubbed High Definition Sound Performance (HDSP) by Gigaset).
Eco Dect and Eco Dect Plus are power-saving technologies used by Gigaset. Energy savings of 60-80% are available using a combination of low-energy switched-mode power supply unit(PSU), reduction of transmission power by adjusting transmission power according to the handset's distance to the base station, and switching off radio wave transmission completely when the handset is docked and charging or in standby mode. A green home logo indicates that the product is eco-friendly.
