Mexico's Iusacell Selects Franklin Wireless' CDU-550 Wireless Broadband Modem
| Source: Franklin Wireless Corporation
SAN DIEGO, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- December 4, 2006 -- Franklin Wireless Corp. (PINKSHEETS : FKLT ), a
developer and marketer of wireless broadband communications devices and
applications, and Iusacell announced the launch of the Franklin Wireless
CDU-550 mobile broadband USB modem on Iusacell's CDMA 1xEV-DO network in
Mexico.
The Franklin Wireless CDU-550 USB modem is available through Iusacell
distributors according to more than a $1 million deal based on distributor
price. The CDU-550 USB modem provides a flexible way for wireless
subscribers to connect to the wireless broadband network since it is
compatible with any laptop, tablet PC or desktop USB port and operates with
Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems.
As Mexico's only 1xEV-DO network operator, Iusacell has embarked on a
strategic and differentiating approach that focuses on mobile data products
and services, which places the company as a leading-edge technology
operator. EV-DO technology enables individuals to send and receive email
with large file attachments, play real-time interactive games, receive and
send high-resolution pictures and video, download video and music content
or stay wirelessly connected to their office PCs -- all from the same
mobile device.
"Franklin's CDU-550 gives Iusacell a unique advantage in the Mexican mobile
market," said Jorge de la Mora, Data Solutions Director with Iusacell. "Not
only do we offer the fastest and most robust wireless broadband data
services through our EV-DO network, but customers now have a flexible way
to take advantage of the network since Franklin's CDU-550 is compatible
with multiple operating systems and doesn't require a PCMCIA card slot to
connect to the Internet."
"We are opening up the wireless broadband market by offering a
multi-platform connectivity solution to end users. A PC card solution can't
match these capabilities," said O.C. Kim, President of Franklin Wireless.
Franklin Wireless products are marketed through Original Equipment
Manufacturers ("OEMs") and distributors, as well as directly to operators
and end users.
