TORONTO, April 4, 2002 (PRIMEZONE) -- Telesis (CDNX:TNC) (OTCBB:TNCVF), a leading developer and marketer of data acceleration software, announced today that Singapore Telecommunications Limited (SingTel), Asia's leading communications company, has expanded its use of Telesis products to better meet the messaging needs of its corporate users.
Since 1998, SingTel has deployed Telesis' Mobile Mail Accelerator(tm) (formerly known as OnAir MOBILE(tm)) product to increase data transfer and email speeds up to 10-fold for mobile workers. As a result of Mobile Mail's scalability and reliability, SingTel will increase deployment of the product by at least 30% across Asia Pacific, where there is unprecedented demand for data and Internet-related services. SingTel's "Mail65 Messaging" is an electronic mail system that serves as a communications network for the transaction of emails between Inmarsat mobiles and fixed corporate LAN and Internet mail users worldwide. Mail65 Messaging connects an office network to the most remote places, such as on trucks, onshore drilling platforms, ships, oilrigs and offshore drillers.
"We are pleased to receive further license orders for our technology from SingTel, one of the world's great companies," said Derek Woods, CEO of Telesis. "More and more SingTel customers, even in the most remote locations, will benefit from Telesis products, and Telesis will continue to provide SingTel with unabridged customer service as they maintain the telecommunications lead across Asia Pacific."
