Elcoteq Participates in the Next-Generation Mobile Technologies Seminar 2008 in
Tokyo, Japan
HONG KONG, April 9 /Xinhua-PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --
Elcoteq SE, a leading integrated electronics manufacturing services (EMS) company with original
design manufacturing (ODM) capabilities in the communications technology field, will introduce its
electronics manufacturing services and present as one of the keynote speakers at the Next-
Generation Mobile Technologies Seminar, being held at the Embassy of Canada in Tokyo, Japan
on April 17 and 18, 2008. Dr. Folkert Wierda, Director, Business Development, Personal
Communications Business Area at Elcoteq, will describe ways to profit in the burgeoning
communications market with a paper, "IEMS: From 'Quick Fix' to Best Total Cost of Ownership".
Using an EMS company that specializes in the communications technology market enables
communications companies to have an asset-light corporation, increased flexibility, risk sharing,
and it allows management to focus on products, brand, and sales. It increases the speed of doing
business and time-to-market, reduces complexity, and provides the best total cost of ownership.
"There are so many new technologies, opportunities, and companies involved in the mobile
communications industry, especially with mobile computing, that we are happy to add our expertise
and experience as participants in the symposium," said Dr. Wierda. "Elcoteq has focused on
communications technology for over 20 years. We are one of the three largest EMS mobile phone
manufacturers in the world, with over 1 billion handset assemblies delivered. Elcoteq considers
optimization of total cost of ownership to be a key factor for brand owners in ensuring their profit as
the communications market moves forward. We are hoping that our participation in this symposium
raises recognition of this issue."
The Next-Generation Mobile Technologies Seminar 2008 is co-hosted by Inter-Embassies Mobile
Forum (IEMF), The Mobile Computing Promotion Consortium (MCPC), and the Canadian Embassy
in Tokyo. The event will share the latest mobile technology, products, and information among
professionals of the wireless industry in Japan and overseas, including business executives,
decision-makers, buyers, engineers of mobile phone carriers, handset manufacturers, and systems
integrators.
