HONG KONG, April 9, 2008 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Elcoteq SE, a leading
integrated electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company with original
design manufacturing (ODM) capabilities in the communications technology
field, will introduce its electronics manufacturing services and present as
one of the keynote speakers at the Next-Generation Mobile Technologies
Seminar, being held at the Embassy of Canada in Tokyo, Japan on April 17
and 18, 2008. Dr. Folkert Wierda, Director, Business Development, Personal
Communications Business Area at Elcoteq, will describe ways to profit in
the burgeoning communications market with a paper, "IEMS: From 'Quick Fix'
to Best Total Cost of Ownership".
Using an EMS company that specializes in the communications technology
market enables communications companies to have an asset-light corporation,
increased flexibility, risk sharing, and it allows management to focus on
products, brand, and sales. It increases the speed of doing business and
time-to-market, reduces complexity, and provides the best total cost of
ownership.
"There are so many new technologies, opportunities, and companies
involved in the mobile communications industry, especially with mobile
computing, that we are happy to add our expertise and experience as
participants in the symposium," said Dr. Wierda. "Elcoteq has focused on
communications technology for over 20 years. We are one of the three
largest EMS mobile phone manufacturers in the world, with over 1 billion
handset assemblies delivered. Elcoteq considers optimization of total cost
of ownership to be a key factor for brand owners in ensuring their profit
as the communications market moves forward. We are hoping that our
participation in this symposium raises recognition of this issue."
The Next-Generation Mobile Technologies Seminar 2008 is co-hosted by
Inter-Embassies Mobile Forum (IEMF), The Mobile Computing Promotion
Consortium (MCPC), and the Canadian Embassy in Tokyo. The event will share
the latest mobile technology, products, and information among professionals
of the wireless industry in Japan and overseas, including business
executives, decision-makers, buyers, engineers of mobile phone carriers,
handset manufacturers, and systems integrators.
