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.

Since being appointed as SIMCom’s official distributor for South Africa, not only has Otto Marketing targeted sales of the product, but it has emphasised its commitment to provide a full service by sending a technical support engineer to be fully trained at SIMCom’s facility in Shanghai.
