Teletouch Has U.S. Master Distribution Rights, Plans to Offer Modems Alongside
Existing Line of Asset-Tracking Systems
TYLER, Texas, April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Teletouch Communications
Inc. (Amex: TLL) has obtained master distribution rights from Quake Global
Inc. to offer two new dual-mode satellite/terrestrial modems in the United
States. Teletouch participated in the development of the QUAKE(R) Q2000-CDMA
and Q2000-GSM modems to introduce a product that would be beneficial in a host
of mobile asset tracking scenarios. The CDMA-based modem is scheduled to be
available from Teletouch by the end of the second quarter, and the GSM-based
modem will hit the market later this year.
The modems facilitate wireless communication over low earth orbit
satellites, as well as either the CDMA or GSM networks, making them ideal
choices for fleet managers whose tracking systems must be able to access the
satellite network when the cellular network is unavailable, and vice versa.
In addition to the dual-network wireless communications capabilities, the
modems feature increased performance through reduced latencies, near real-time
message delivery, the ability to quickly transfer large amounts of data,
satellite backup for seamless coverage and higher message delivery rates.
"We wanted to ensure that Teletouch customers would have the ability to
track their assets no matter what kind of network was most readily available,"
said J. Kernan Crotty, president of Teletouch Communications. "By integrating
the Q2000-CDMA and Q2000-GSM into our product line, we are able to extend
increased capability and efficiency to our customers throughout the United
States. We also welcome the opportunity to extend the use of the modems to
other value added resellers who are looking for the most advanced modems
available on the market."
