Motorola's Personal Communications Sector is transferring its paging subscriber device product lines to Multitone Electronics. Multitone will assume Motorola's role in the messaging industry as a provider of Flex, ReFlex and POCSAG (Post Office Code Standardisation Advisory Group) protocol-based devices. Over the next three quarters, the companies will work together to transition the above product lines.
"Motorola is committed to working with Multitone to transition POCSAG, Flex and ReFlex product lines and we feel Multitone is capable of filling our place in the market", said Karen Dunning, vice president and director of business development at Motorola's Wireless Messaging Division.
Motorola selected Multitone due to its 50 years of experience in developing and manufacturing wireless messaging devices.
Multitone's broad capabilities are demonstrated by its success in serving a variety of on-site and wide-area customers, including BT, Vodafone, PageOne and other service providers throughout Europe.
Multitone will incorporate the product lines into its wide product portfolio by continuing to manufacture Motorola's Flex and POCSAG protocol-based devices, including the Advisor Elite and Advisor Gold word pagers, and ReFlex protocol-based devices including the Talkabout T900 and TimeportTM P935 personal communicators.
These new product lines will compliment Multitone's current distribution of IWN products in the USA, which has recently been expanded.
"We are confident in our ability to offer network operators and service providers a seamless process for purchasing subscriber devices due to the transition plan we've developed with Motorola, " said Michael Walker, CEO Multitone Electronics.
"In addition, I believe our technical solutions in the business-to-business sector, especially for "campus" environments, will add real value to the product offerings of service providers", he added.
