Rockville, MD (PRWEB) January 4, 2008 -- Viable Inc., a provider of video relay services (VRS) for deaf and hard of hearing, will unveil its videophone this Saturday, January 5, at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
"Our videophone will inaugurate the wireless age for VRS users," said Viable CEO and founder John T.C. Yeh. "We are literally introducing to our customers to an exciting, new technology standard that blows away every other videophone currently available."
Although the CES opens to the public January 7-10, Viable will announce its videophone at CES Unveiled, an exclusive media event attended by the international press community occurring before the CES opening.
Viable will also have an exhibition booth throughout the CES. All deaf and hard of hearing attendees are welcome to test the videophone and interact with Viable representatives at booth space #36904.
"The CES is internationally recognized as the top electronics tradeshow, and Viable aspires to lead the VRS industry into the next generation of communication technologies," said Anthony Mowl, who will manage the nationwide rollout of the videophone.

About Telecommunications Relay Services
Mandated by Title IV of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, telecommunications relay services (TRS) enables individuals with hearing or speech disabilities to achieve functional equivalence by accessing telephone systems to place or receive calls through an intermediary known as a relay operator or relay interpreter. Emergent IP technology has given rise to video-based solutions, which are known as video relay services (VRS). VRS options include using a webcam or a videophone to connect to a video relay interpreter, and allow deaf and hard of hearing callers for whom sign language is native to fully achieve the ideal of functional equivalence.
