VERNON HILLS, Ill.-Telular Corp. said it will begin delivering PhoneCell fixed wireless terminals to the West African Republic of Guinea this month, after being award an $8 million contract by Guinea Sotelgui S.A.
The award from Guinea Sotelgui is part of a multiyear deployment to enhance the availability of telephone service in Guinea using Global System for Mobile communications digital technology.
The Guinea contract follows another $2.8 million contract awarded by Philippines Telephone Corp. Together, the contracts total nearly $11 million in new revenues for Telular, more than 22 percent of the $48.4 million in revenues earned in fiscal 1997.
“This contract is yet another example of the tremendous need for fixed wireless telecommunication. It is the ideal solution for markets seeking to quickly and efficiently deploy modern communications systems without a wired telephone infrastructure,” said Kenneth Millard, president and chief executive officer of Telular.
