Inventec Appliances to benefit from newly assigned Willcom wireless broadband license
Inventec Appliances is expected to further boost its shipments of PHS (personal handyphone system) handsets to Japan since its client Willcom was awarded a license last week to provide next-generation 2.5GHz wireless broadband services in Japan, according to market sources.
Willcom along with Wireless Broadband Planning KK (WBPK), a subsidiary of KDDI, were the telecom operators awarded the two operating licenses issued by Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, the sources noted.
WBPK will provide high-speed wireless Internet access services by utilizing WiMAX technology, whereas Willcom will offer its services via next-generation PHS technology, the sources said.
Inventec began to cooperate with Willcom on the production of PHS handsets in 2007, the sources noted, adding that Willcom also purchases PHS handsets from Sharp, Toshiba, Kyocera, NetIndex and JRC.
Inventec will ship a total of eight million PHS handsets for the markets in Taiwan, China and Japan in 2007, the sources estimated.
