Axesstel to Supply Tele Barta With Fixed Wireless Phones to Enable Greater Access to Voice and Data Service in Bangladesh

Posted on: Wednesday, 27 July 2005, 09:00 CDT

Axesstel, Inc. (AMEX: AFT), a leader in the design and development of fixed wireless voice and broadband data products, today announced it will supply Tele Barta Limited with the AXW-P1900 Fixed Wireless Phone to enable greater access to voice and data services in Bangladesh. Axesstel will begin shipments of the P1900 phones this month.

Tele Barta currently offers a complete range of telecommunications services under the Jubok Phone brand and recently secured a license to operate a fixed wireless telephone network in four newly established telecommunications zones in Bangladesh. In September 2005, Tele Barta plans to launch its CDMA2000 1X fixed wireless network with Axesstel's P1900 phone to make quality, affordable voice calling and high speed data services available to individuals, businesses, hospitals, government and public sector organizations.

"Tele Barta is well positioned to continue our countrywide growth by adding fixed wireless to our wide range of telecommunications services for consumers and enterprises throughout Bangladesh," said Abu M. Sayeed, corporate director of Tele Barta. "Axesstel has a reputation of providing quality fixed wireless solutions, and we look forward to building a strong partnership with them for our mutual success and growth."

"We congratulate Tele Barta on being awarded four new licenses for the development of their new CDMA2000 1X fixed wireless network and look forward to supporting their commercial launch," said Mike Kwon, chairman and CEO of Axesstel. "Our high quality, cost-effective fixed wireless products will assist Tele Barta in delivering affordable nationwide voice and data services to the people of Bangladesh and allow us to expand our addressable market to serve this important region."

Axesstel's AXW-P1900 provides plug and play voice calling with enhanced features including short messaging service (SMS), call waiting, call forwarding, three-way calling and access to data at speeds up to 153.6 kbps through a USB connection.
