Wireless Telemetry Holds Allure for Teletouch

Wireless Services Company Enters High-growth Wireless Telemetry Market With Products and Services to Monitor Fixed and Mobile Assets

Tyler, Texas (PRWEB) August 1, 2003 - Its no secret that the wireless telephony market has usurped the once-strong paging services market. And, though the death knell hasnt tolled for paging, the growth of paging has flattened.

Teletouch Communications, which has a significant stake in paging, has been watching the industry changes of the past few years with great interest. Recognizing the proverbial writing on the wall," Teletouch has embarked on a mission to diversify its offerings, transitioning its focus from paging to the high-growth market of wireless telemetry.

Telemetry is the next evolution/revolution in wireless communications," said Teletouch President Kernan Crotty. The growth opportunities in this market are astounding, and, even though wireless telemetry wont become our major source of revenue overnight, Teletouch is on the way to becoming a leader in this field."

Teletouch has been in the wireless business for 40 years and provides sophisticated wireless telemetry services via terrestrial and satellite-based networks. These services monitor remote operations, track and manage vehicles and notify authorities when a lone worker has been injured, among many other applications.

Teletouchs chief differentiator is its ability to transmit information at extremely high speeds, delivering a message in a matter of seconds. Message delivery for other players in the wireless telemetry market can take up to several minutes -- a major drawback when lives or large sums of money are on the line.

We have 40 years of experience in sending data and other information wirelessly from point A to point B in a timely fashion," added Crotty. Paging is nothing more than one person sending information to another, and wireless telemetry is nothing more than one machine sending information to another. When we began looking at ways to grow our business, wireless telemetry just wasnt a difficult leap to make."

Teletouch has already enjoyed success with products that monitor fixed assets, and the company is preparing to launch a set of mobile-asset monitoring products in the coming months. In addition to its forays into wireless telemetry, Teletouch will continue to support its existing paging customers, providing the same high level of service its customers expect and deserve.
