Kunekt to Design, Build and Market Quality Mobile Phones and Android Smartphones and Tablets in Developed and Developing Countries

HONG KONG, Jan. 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Kunekt Corporation (OTCBB: KNKT), creator of the Kunekt global brand of affordably priced, quality mobile devices, including Android smartphones and tablets, signed definitive agreements to acquire AMS-INT ASIA LTD. ("AMS"), Hong Kong, as a major step in its business plan to design, build and market mobile devices in developed and developing countries, initially in China and India.

Under the terms of the agreements, on closing, Kunekt will have 100% of the interest in the control and management of Guangzhou Xingwei Communications Technology Ltd. Inc. ("Xingwei"), Guangzhou, China, a mobile phone design company, and Beijing Yiyueqiji Science and Technology Development Ltd. Inc. ("Yiyueqiji"), Beijing, China, an Android smartphone design company. Xingwei has been in operation since 2004 and has 42 employees. Yiyueqiji has been in operation since 2009 and has 18 employees.

Xingwei generated revenue in excess of RMB 33 million ($5 million USD) (unaudited). Xingwei's CEO and founder is Chengwu Zhu, who previously worked for telecom giant Huawei and, following the acquisition by Kunekt, will be the Vice President of Engineering and Operations of Kunekt.

Yiyueqiji is singularly focused on the design and implementation of Android smartphones, tablets and mobile Internet devices. Yiyueqiji is headed up by Jin Su, Vice President Engineering, who previously held senior marketing and product development positions with Motorola China Technology Limited and VTech Telecommunications (HK) Ltd.

Mark Bruk, president of Kunekt, said, "We will immediately begin building a sales team together with AMS to market our affordably priced, quality mobile devices. Our initial targets are the world's largest mobile phone markets of China and India.  This is where the biggest growth opportunity exists of new mobile phone users and in these countries we already have established relationships."

Upon closing of the acquisitions, Matt Li, managing director of AMS, will become the co-chairman, co-CEO and president of Kunekt. Li, an entrepreneur with more than twenty years of academic and engineering experience in the network, telecom and wireless industries, has held various engineering and management positions with startups and Fortune 500 companies, such as Cisco Systems; UB Video; Motorola; Abatis Systems; and ANV Systems. In the past eight years, he has worked with three early stage companies, either as a co-founder or an early stage employee, through their successful capital exits.

Kunekt plans to evolve the Xingwei team into a smartphone and tablet design group. Together with the Android team at Yiyueqiji, Kunekt will have a complete design team for mobile phones, smartphones and tablets, enabling the company to control all aspects of the design, manufacturing and distribution of its mobile device products.

The combined team has extensive experience, contacts and customers in China, India and some Southeast Asian markets. Kunekt will have immediate operational scale with operations in four cities in China (Hong Kong, Quangzhuo, Shenzen and Beijing) with more than sixty employees.

"This business and skill-set combination enables Kunekt to significantly advance its business. In one move, we combine the Kunekt brand, a mobile device design team and an Android design team, fundamentally repositioning Kunekt from a business in development to an established mobile phone company," said Bruk, who will be the co-chairman and co-CEO of Kunekt upon  the closing of the acquisitions.

Li added, "These transactions are positive not just for Kunekt but also for Yiyueqiji's and Xingwei's existing customers."
