"GN Netcom's consistent technological leadership position in the hands-
free communications arena has been a major factor in our ability to develop
successful business relationships with major brands like Motorola," said
Anthony M. DiIulio, senior vice president and general manager, GN Netcom, Inc.
"David has considerable experience in developing strategic relationships with
major industry players. That expertise will help us to become the headset
manufacturer of choice as we expand into new channels and strengthen our
position with our core business partners."
DiIulio also noted that strategic OEM partnerships in the call center,
Internet telephony and office telecommunications markets have the potential to
drive significant volume increases in headset sales and provide added value
for partners as well. "Headsets play a significant role in a number of
mission-critical business applications, and equipment vendors are beginning to
recognize the importance of including a high-quality headset in their product
offering. By choosing GN Netcom as their partner, companies can ensure that
their customers have an outstanding, 'out-of-the-box' experience and protect
the reputation of their brand. GN Netcom is well positioned to capture these
emerging opportunities," DiIulio added.
