We have a very strong relationship with Maxon and celebrating this significant anniversary is testament to our flexible technology and independent business model. As with all of our customers, we have worked closely with Maxon, enabling them to develop market-leading devices that meet consumer demands and network operator requirements," said Tony Milbourn, TTPComs Managing Director.

Over the past 10 years we have developed over 40 models based on TTPCom technology and today we have a large portfolio of phones, ranging from voice only GSM to fully featured GPRS handsets with multimedia messaging and gaming.
