PCD brings new technology to carriers

“The phone with a helmet on,” is one of the many niche products that delivers cutting-edge technology to meet a specific consumer need. But phones like the Casio Commando don’t make it to market unless the companies that make them are working closely with the carriers who will sell them. Often the manufacturers and the carriers are literally a world apart, with Asian OEMs exploring new technology while North American carriers listen closely to consumers. RCR’s Dan Meyer recently caught up with a company that brings these two worlds together. Joseph Cufari of PCD explained his company’s business model and shared his outlook for new wireless devices on the horizon. (Photo: gadgets-4G.com
