CSI announces GSM/GPRS fixed wireless phones

CALGARY-CSI Wireless Inc. announced product details and shipping plans for its new 410 series of GSM/GPRS fixed wireless telephones. CSI said product shipments are scheduled to begin in the third quarter of this year, and the phones will likely be sold under other companies’ name brands.

CSI’s previous offerings include the Motorola-branded FX800t fixed wireless telephone for use with TDMA wireless technology, which is marketed exclusively by Brightstar Corp. CSI said it has sold almost $60 million of the phones since introducing the product in late 2002.

“We believe our new 410 Series positions us to also be a major player in the GSM fixed wireless telephone market-which is 10 times larger [than the CDMA market],” said Stephen Verhoeff, CSI’s president and chief executive officer.
