Starcomms Launches Docking Station
Starcomms Limited, Nigeria's leading PTO, has launched the Docking Station, a unique 2-in-1 telephone that combines both fixed and mobile ability.
Performing the launch of the product at the Starcomms' stand at the opening of WAFRITEL 2004, Mr. Dirk Smet, CEO Starcomms described the Docking Station as a high-end telephone device which many serious business executives will find irresistible.
According to Mr. Smet, the attraction of the product is that in-coming calls simply go to whichever set the person is using at any point in time. When the receiver is in motion he can receive his calls on the mobile unit, and whenever he is in the office he simply switches to the fixed mode and uses the phone like a nommal desk-top phone. Although the fixed phone acts as a docking station for the mobile unit, the mobile handset also comes with its own individual charging unit, and can therefore be charged separately.
Some of the unique features of the phone, the Starcomms boss explained, are: 2-way speaker; integrated phone charger; up to 25 ringer tones with vibration alert; keys for voice mail, ability for conference calls and data (intemet) enabled.
The Starcomms boss assured that his company is committed to changing the face of telephone service delivery in Nigeria for the better, and would continue to blaze the trail in the introduction of many more unique products and services into Nigeria's growing telecom market.
Starcomms is the exclusive distributor of the Kyocera brand of the Docking Station in the Nigerian market.
Other new products launched by Starcomms at the exhibition cover a whole new range of consumer and corporate (voice/data) solutions. They include: Business Centre Management Solutions (PCOM), Small Office/Home/Business Centre data solutions (wireless LAN), Mobile Executive Voice/Data solutions to enable notebook PCs in a fully wired "wireless" environment (PC aerial, Kyocera Mobile + docking Station).
Starcomms is the fastest-growing PTO in Nigeria with over 100,000 subscribers on its networks currently operating in Lagos, Kano and Maiduguri. Some of the company's immediate future plans, according to the CEO, include the introduction of data services as well as service roll-outs in Port Harcourt and Ibadan, all of which will come on stream before the end of this year.
