Teletouch to Distribute New Satellite/Terrestrial Dual-Mode Modems
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. 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." About Teletouch Communications Inc. In
