Flash 7000 Chassis

State-of-the-Art Technology

As the foundation of Protel's line of smart payphones, the Flash 7000 chassis offers a feature-rich smartphone at an affordable price. The Flash 7000 smart chassis combines microprocessor-based intelligence with a modular design to adapt to the challenges of a diversifying payphone industry. In fact, it sets the standard for the industry with built-in troubleshooting processes, custom integrated circuits for the most versatile circuitry available and a corrosion resistant enclosure to protect the electronics. The addition of plug-in option boards allows payphone providers to tailor the Flash 7000 to fit their specific needs.

Protel's Flash 7000 chassis boasts state-of-the-art flash memory technology. This reliable new technology provides eight megabits of storage capacity. This additional storage capacity allows more space for memory intensive features, such as Protel's new Charge-A-Port® or TeleVoice™ products.

The surface mount technology utilized on the Flash 7000 chassis delivers better reliability and consumes less power, resulting in longer battery life.
