Major DECT Handset Chipset Ships with e-SIM's MMI Solution
9/28/2004 - e-SIM Ltd. (OTCBB: ESIM.OB), a leading provider of MMI (Man-Machine Interface) Solutions for wireless devices, announced that they have signed an agreement with a major DECT (Digital European Cordless Telephone) chipset manufacturer to bundle e-SIM’s MMI Solution with their chipsets for DECT phones. As part of the deal e-SIM will receive initial revenues exceeding $750,000. Additionally, e-SIM expects to receive revenues from royalties paid for each handset sold that includes its technology.
The DECT chipset vendor has commissioned e-SIM to adapt e-SIM’s comprehensive wireless handset MMI solution to meet the requirements of the growing DECT residential and enterprise markets which, according to a January 2004 DECT Forum report, grew 24% in 2003. With e-SIM’s MMI Solution, DECT manufacturers will be able to bring highly attractive, advanced phones to market faster and more cost effectively. The companies expect millions of DECT handsets based on e-SIM’s MMI to be shipped to the market starting next year.
More that 20 cellular handset manufacturers use e-SIM’s Mobile MMI Solution to develop the distinctive MMIs of their cell phones. The solution, which includes a complete MMI reference design, a comprehensive set of RapidPLUS™ development and customization tools, and a broad range of professional services to ensure the project’s success, enables the creation of simple, mid-range, or complex MMIs. MMI designers create the unique user interfaces on a PC from which C Code is automatically generated and embedded directly into the target device.
Marc Belzberg, CEO at e-SIM said, “I am very pleased to announce our agreement. This marks e-SIM’s entrance into the DECT phone market complementing our strong penetration into the cellular market and strengthening our royalty revenue stream sources. The versatility of our MMI solution will adapt well to the growing DECT market, allowing a range of MMIs to be developed that meet the demands of both residential and enterprise systems.”
