[Ottawa, CANADA] C-COM Satellite Systems (CDNX: CMI) has inked a Cdn
$1 million (US $1.48 million) reseller agreement with Warp 9 Communication to
distribute TurboCell in North America.
TurboCell is the first commercially available cellular modem designed
to deliver high-speed digital data connections using existing
cellular infrastructure.
“This unique technology offers a faster, more efficient way to
communicate,” said Leslie Klein, president and chief executive
officer of C-COM. “TurboCell will provide millions of cellular users
the ability to use the Internet at high speed.”
TurboCell provides much faster digital data transmission rates than
other currently available cellular modems. While conventional

can send and receive information at speeds of 56 Kbps to 156 Kbps.
The unit connects into a USB port of any PC computer, desktop, or
laptop and is compatible with the digital coverage area of the Bell
Mobility and Sprint PCS cellular networks in North America.
“TurboCell will enhance communications for corporate and industrial
customers,” said Dominic Martiniello, president of Warp9
Communication. “We’ve already begun discussions with police forces,
public transits and insurance industries, all of whom have shown a
strong requirement for high-speed access on the move.”
TurboCell is available online at US $999 by Warp9 Communications in
North America.
