Trumpcard with CellFlex™
Selected by Wellman Inc.
Trumpcards increase efficiency of Sales force in accessing e-mail and corporate applications
Guelph, Ontario, November 12, 2001: Wellman Inc., an international Fortune 1000 corporation, has selected Ositech’s
CellFlex technology to meet its communication needs and to reduce its total cost of ownership. A renowned manufacturer of fibers, plastic packaging and engineering resins, Wellman is also one of the world's largest recyclers of plastics with facilities in the U.S., Ireland, the Netherlands and France.
When considering a mobile connectivity standard, “…our company looked for a few things in particular,” explains Sam Swaringen, Senior Telecommunications Analyst at Wellman Inc. “We needed a PCMCIA card which works with the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC. We also needed the dual capability of using a landline as well as a cellular phone to dial into our corporate network. We didn’t want users swapping cards when they needed a certain service. After testing various cards from various vendors, the
King of Hearts worked flawlessly every time.”
The King of Hearts
PC Card features Ositech’s exclusive
CellFlex
technology, which has combined analog and digital data capabilities into one single solution. Ositech is the only company that offers support for both types of data, giving mobile users the freedom to connect in both analog and digital coverage areas. To further ensure complete wireless freedom, Ositech’s
CellFlex
products can be used not only with laptops and PDA’s, but also with any device that contains a PCMCIA slot.
The King of Hearts
also offered Wellman additional benefits. “Cost was an issue, which made the King of Hearts even more attractive” says Swaringen. “The V.90 standard was also a requirement. Since users would be syncing email, we wanted their connections to be as fast as possible. We use Nokia 6100 phones as a standard. The
King of Hearts
with V.90 modem and
CellFlex
allows our iPAQ users to be much more efficient in accessing their email and other corporate applications.”
