RFI Global Services has signed an agreement with Electronics Link Asia to develop RFI's business in Japan.

Japan is a key market for RFI representing huge potential.

Initial development of GSM and GPRS handsets for the established Japanese players evolved in Europe however 3G handsets for European markets and 3G networks are now being developed locally making it important for RFI to be able to deliver its services locally.

Electronics Link Asia (ELA) fulfils a pivotal and unique role in helping British technology companies leverage the Japanese market quickly and effectively.

Working with specially selected companies, RFI is the first compliance laboratory that it has represented.

Stephen Kirk, RFI's Managing Director explained: "ELA has an in-depth and unique understanding of the importance of building relationships with Japanese companies in order to do business".

"There is a strong synergy between our organisations, both in terms of the quality of our personnel and our standards of service that lends great confidence to the future success of the relationship".

Steve Crane, ELA's Operations Director added: "Japan has a very different 'modus operandi' to other Asian markets".

"We hope that our experience within the Japanese mobile industry will bring RFI great advantage and facilitate its growth in the region".

"We are impressed by RFI's philosophy of re-investment in the continuous development of new services and its long-term strategy for growth".

"We are very selective in our partnerships and have high hopes for RFI's success in the region".
