Telular Corporation Announces New Order Worth $6.0 Million with Wintel Ltd. a Partner of Worldtel
VERNON HILLS, Ill., July 26 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Telular Corporation (NASDAQ:WRLS) today announced that it has executed an order for its new GSM SX7P-300G fixed cellular deskphone worth $6 million with Wintel Limited a distributor for Worldtel, an investment group created by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to assist in the development of telecoms and internet companies in emerging markets. Worldtel has won a license for a 300,000 line wireless network in Dhaka, the capital and financial center of Bangladesh. The Dhaka urban center has a population of 10 million people with less than 9% of households having access to a telephone.
The Phonecell® SX7P-300G is the next generation GSM phone developed by Telular that has features such as a high gain internal antenna and a larger than normal backlit display. The new generation phone also sports an FM radio and uses USB for power. The Phonecell products support wire line quality voice communications, SMS text messaging and internet access all in an attractive small desktop phone.
"Telular has the latest product features on their phones that fit nicely with our build out strategy," said Mr. Ayman Abu-Jaber, WorldTel CTO & Program Director. "Telular's phones are helping us to begin to generate revenue with our new network in Dhaka; the Telular product is very easy to deploy, so much so that even the end users are able to install it without support," continued Mr. Abu-Jaber.
"We are happy to be part of this exciting new network in Bangladesh," said Michael J. Boyle, president and chief executive officer of Telular Corporation. "We look forward to a long relationship with Wintel in getting this and other networks off the ground," continued Boyle.
Telular's fixed cellular products are used throughout the world primarily for basic wireless communications services, often referred to as Wireless Local Loop (WLL), as well as enterprise applications and public telephony. Landline systems in many parts of the world are often deficient, unavailable, or simply too costly to deploy. Telular products offer reliable, cost- effective, and immediate telephone access via existing cellular networks using familiar telephone equipment.
