SkyCross Enabled Handsets Lead the Sales Rankings in Korea

Posted on: Monday, 7 November 2005, 12:00 CST

MELBOURNE, Fla., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- A leading news service has announced this summer's best selling mobile handsets at SK Telecom, South Korea's largest mobile telecom service provider. SkyCross is pleased to announce that its embedded antenna designs are included in two of these top three selling handsets: the Samsung SCH-S350 ranked number one, and the SK Teletech IM-8300 ranked number three. Both handsets raise the industry standards in an already sophisticated market. SkyCross contributes to this success by providing small embedded antennas that offer increased coverage, improved battery capacity, and fewer dropped calls without sacrificing phone capabilities or aesthetic design.

The number one selling handset in Korea is the Samsung SCH-S350 phone, equipped with a custom SkyCross antenna that supports CDMA and GPS while accommodating the 0.3 megapixel camera and MP3 player. SkyCross neatly fit the multi-mode antenna into this device, freeing space for handset designers to add desired features to a very compact, lightweight phone only 3.3 inches long -- an obviously esteemed combination to consumers. This handset gained its popularity with ample functionality at a very affordable price. The phone quickly jumped to the number two ranking after its release and has successfully defended the number one position since May 2005.

SK Teletech secures the number three spot with its IM-8300 handset launched in April 2005. SkyCross designed the high-performance embedded CDMA antenna for this phone to complement its other advanced features such as a 2.2-inch LCD screen for clear viewing from any angle, camera, and MP3 player. Together with the SkyCross antenna, this phone is rated the best SK Teletech design and consequently earned a solid performance reputation from consumers.

"SkyCross is delighted to see the success of its customers' products," said Dr. Young-Min Jo, Managing Director for SkyCross Korea. "These handset rankings demonstrate that SkyCross effectively adapts its superior technology to meet the needs of leading handset manufacturers for their most advanced handsets -- and the benefits are clearly discernable to consumers. SkyCross looks forward to continuing to provide advanced antenna products for pioneering devices."
