SunCorp Technologies Ltd had won contracts worth HK$325 million to supply its “Aladino VolP” phones to Telecom Italia. SunCorp’s “Aladino VolP” phone, which allows consumers to make free or low cost phone calls across the Telecom Italia, “Alice” Broadband network service, was initially launched in the Italian market in the last quarter of 2006, with SunCorp delivering HK$75 million dollars worth of orders. Turning out to be a huge hit, with Telecom Italia experiencing strong demand, SunCorp was asked to deliver HK$150 million worth in the first quarter of 2007. A further order valued at HK$100 million has been received for the second quarter of 2007.

“These contract wins are significant and are certainly welcome news to shareholders given the production and other difficulties we experienced at the end of 2006, which resulted in the raising of a further HK$60 million in capital through a Rights Issue,” said Peter Amour, Chairman, SunCorp. “These wins prove that despite those challenges we were able to deliver the right technological products at the right time. SunCorp hopes to emulate the success its products have achieved with Telecom Italia, by securing contracts with a large number of other Telco customers in Europe in the second half of this year.”

The best place to use your mobile phone could be your house according to Ericsson. The company this week introduced an access point device designed to improve mobile phone signals, especially for those who live in areas where cell-phone signals are weak or those who would like to use their phones in the basement.

The access point will be available through mobile phone operators only, and not available for purchase by consumers on the open market. The device will broadcast in GSM as well as WCDMA signals and even support Wi-Fi WLAN devices. Users plug the device into a broadband connection, which will then establish an Internet connection with their service provider. Ericsson’s devices does not allow users to use their GSM phones to make VoIP calls through a VoIP service provider — which would have been a fantastic feature.
