LAS VEGAS-Antenna manufacturer DAMAX International and United Plastics Group announced a strategic alliance through which UPG will manufacture and sell new DAMAX antennas for cell phones.
“The new technology eliminates nearly 100 percent of handset signal loss to the hand and head, more than doubles battery life, and reduces dropped calls,” explained Greg Johnson, chief technology officer at DAMAX. “It also makes digital handsets, for the first time, hearing aid-compatible because it directs nearly 100 percent of handset’s signals, which cause the noise, away from the head.”
DAMAX expects to introduce the new antennas to the worldwide market in the second quarter of 2003.
