Zoom Telephonics, Inc.: Zoom Telephonics Details Its 3G Mobile Broadband Product Plans
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - October 7, 2009) - Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (
3G mobile broadband uses the cellular phone network for high-speed data transmission wherever those services are available, with significant benefits to users in offices, homes, construction sites, trade show, parks, hotels, airports and more.
Some industry experts expect 3G modem data traffic to more than double every year from 2009 through 2012.
Zoom plans to use its expertise in communication products and established Zoom market channels as a springboard for success in the 3G mobile broadband area. Zoom will have modems, routers, and other products for both GSM and CDMA cellular services. GSM is used by AT&T, T-Mobile, and most operators worldwide. CDMA is used by Verizon Wireless, Sprint, and some operators outside the USA.
In early to mid-October Zoom will begin volume shipment of a 3G mobile broadband modem, a 3G travel router, and a 3G desktop router. Details will be provided when each product begins volume shipment.
"This is a big, fast-growing market," said Frank Manning, Zoom's President and CEO. "We will have significant competitors including Huawei, Novatel Wireless, Sierra Wireless, and ZTE. However, all these companies focus their efforts on the cellular service providers. Zoom, on the other hand, has strong ties to its retailer and distributor customers; and we will use our experience with these customers to drive sales. The result will be exciting new products that maximize flexibility and user choice in services, and that are easy to use, reasonably priced, and fully supported by Zoom's Boston-based engineering and support teams."
