SIMCom concludes fruitful SA visit

17 February 2010 News

SIMCom, manufacturer of high-quality GSM/GPRS/EDGE, WCDMA/HSDPA, TDSMA and GPS modules, recently sent two senior representatives to support the efforts of Otto Marketing, SIMCom’s local distributor, to increase the product range’s penetration in the South African marketplace. In this time they visited numerous interested parties around the country, and conducted a number of presentations at Otto’s offices in Randburg.

According to Otto, the visit was a resounding success, and SIMCom will once more send two senior employees to support the company when it exhibits SIMCom products at the imminent National Electronics Week exhibition at the Sandton Convention Centre, where SIMCom’s exciting new miniature GSM module, the SIM900, will be officially released.
