"Over the last year, MTI
has demonstrated their production expertise, dedication, ability and
efficiency in helping us further develop our WiMAX solutions and we are
delighted to reach this agreement with them," said Serge Fortin,
President and CEO of SR Telecom. "As we continue to focus all our
resources on our WiMAX strategy, we expect that this extended
relationship with MTI will shorten delivery times, improve our
competitiveness in the global WiMAX market and enable us to fully
execute on our business plan."
"We are pleased to extend our partnership with SR Telecom," said Mr.
Allen Yen, President and COO of Microelectronics Technology Inc. "This
agreement reflects our continued mutual commitment and demonstrates SR
Telecom's confidence in MTI's track record in delivering high quality
volume production and efficient customer support. We look forward to a
long and fruitful relationship with SR Telecom."
SR Telecom and MTI are building upon the strong business partnership
that has developed following the design agreement the two companies
signed last year for the development of WiMAX radios. MTI has recently
helped SR Telecom develop symmetryMX base station and CPE radio units
for specific frequency bands, and began a pilot production run for this
equipment in Q1 2007. For SR Telecom, this most recent agreement also
moves the Company forward in accomplishing its stated objective of
diversifying and de-risking its contract manufacturing processes.
