Teletouch to Distribute New Satellite/Terrestrial Dual-Mode Modems Teletouch Has U.S. Master Distribution Rights, Plans to Offer Modems Alongside Existing Line of Asset-Tracking Systems TYLER, Texas, April 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Teletouch Communications Inc. has obtained master distribution rights from Quake Global Inc. to offer two new dual-mode satellite/terrestrial modems in the United States. Teletouch participated in the development of the QUAKE(R) Q2000-CDMA and Q2000-GSM modems to introduce a product that would be beneficial in a host of mobile asset tracking scenarios. The CDMA-based modem is scheduled to be available from Teletouch by the end of the second quarter, and the GSM-based modem will hit the market later this year. The modems facilitate wireless communication over low earth orbit satellites, as well as either the CDMA or GSM networks, making them ideal choices for fleet managers whose tracking systems must be able to access the satellite network when the cellular network is unavailable, and vice versa. In addition to the dual-network wireless communications capabilities, the modems feature increased performance through reduced latencies, near real-time message delivery, the ability to quickly transfer large amounts of data, satellite backup for seamless coverage and higher message delivery rates. "We wanted to ensure that Teletouch customers would have the ability to track their assets no matter what kind of network was most readily available," said J. Kernan Crotty, president of Teletouch Communications. "By integrating the Q2000-CDMA and Q2000-GSM into our product line, we are able to extend increased capability and efficiency to our customers throughout the United States. We also welcome the opportunity to extend the use of the modems to other value added resellers who are looking for the most advanced modems available on the market."
