Otto to distribute Simcom products

21 January 2009 News

Otto Marketing has been appointed as Simcom Wireless Solutions’ local partner to distribute and offer design support to ODMs and OEMs who intend to or have already integrated Simcom’s modules into their products within the southern African region. Most of the modules are locally and worldwide type approved and Otto has experience working with individual customers for network operator approvals. Otto can offer a demonstration of sample applications that can be performed by the modules using Simcom’s development kits.

Simcom manufactures high-quality wireless modules for different technology platforms. The company’s product offering covers the major wireless segments including GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA/HSDPA, TDSMA and GPS. These products offer a rich set of features to allow customers to develop powerful applications in M2M communications, telematics, metering and tracking.

Simcom has demonstrated an ability to offer market-relevant products that incorporate ever-advancing technological innovations without discarding support to legacy products that have already been built into existing products. Worldwide partnerships with companies like eDevice, Sensorlogic, Kineto and Datang Mobile has enabled Simcom to release best-of-breed, market-sensitive products with industry standard features, in addition to an ability to customise existing products to best suit the needs of ODMs and OEMs.
