"TTPCom have a very strong reputation in this market and one of their key advantages is the flexibility of their technology - we are able to mix and match software and applications in order to create differentiated products that will capture our customers' imagination and maintain our reputation for innovative, fully-featured phones across our new GPRS range", stated Ahn Seung Jin, Senior Manager at SK Teletech.
"TTPCom have an excellent understanding of both software and hardware design issues, as well as field trials and operator acceptance procedures and as we look to next generation products they have a very clear roadmap through Edge and 3G".
"We are looking forward to a long and successful partnership".
"SK Teletech are determined to grow their GPRS handset business quickly and have set aggressive timescales that see them progressing from licensing our technology to product launch within 9 months", stated Nigel Walcot, Head of TTPCom's Custom Solutions Group.
"Our design services option - in which we will be advising them on areas such as hardware design, field trials and production tests, whilst also providing a dedicated software customisation and integration team to work alongside their engineers - is just one of the many new products and services that we have developed to enable our customers to reduce their time to profit".
"TTPCom's Ajar platform is also designed to increase the productivity of handset teams; by providing them with pre-integrated applications that can be upgraded easily to suit GPRS, Edge and 3G protocols, we remove the time consuming and labour intensive integration phases".
"This is a significant benefit to customers who need to react quickly to ever reducing product life cycles".
