News Release
Mr. William Jung reports
Concept Wireless has finalized a service agreement with Sun Microsystems for
Sun to provide its technical expertise and Internet technology platform for the
company's Internet data centre projects in China. Management will meet with
Sun's representatives in Hong Kong next Monday for the signing of the agreement.
Internet data centres
The company has signed a memorandum with a major Chinese Internet and
communications company to jointly establish an Internet data centre (IDC) in
Beijing and is in the process of finalizing a second IDC project for the city of
Guangzhou in the southern province of Guangdong next to Hong Kong.
With Sun's technical backing secured, management will push forward with both its
IDC projects in Beijing and in Southern China.
Paging/two-way wireless messaging/voice-over IP/Internet service provider
services
The company holds an interest in a paging joint venture (Contour) that operates
paging systems in 13 major cities located throughout Shandong province. It has in
excess of 400,000 subscribers and is the second-largest paging network in the
province. Earlier this year, Contour reached an agreement to secure licences to
provide two-way wireless messaging, voice-over IP (VoIP) and ISP services.
This partnership will allow Contour to expand its paging business to include
two-way wireless messaging and to broaden its revenue base by diversifying into
ISP services and VoIP for long-distance telephone services via the Internet.
The two-way wireless messaging system planned for Jinan, capital city of
Shandong province, will be the first such system for the province. A decision on
the equipment and the format of the two-way system has been narrowed down
between California-based GWCom and Ericsson's Mobitex system. The
company expects to launch the ISP and VoIP services following the deployment
of the two-way wireless messaging system.
Financing plans
Management returned last week after a successful week of meetings with
government officials and touring of Contour's paging operations in three cities with
a representative of a brokerage firm from Eastern Canada. Plans are for
management to meet with the senior officials of the firm in Toronto, Ont., to
discuss a potential financing.
The meeting is scheduled toward the end of October as management is leaving for
China tomorrow for meetings in Jinan and then to Hong Kong for the signing of
the agreement with Sun.
WARNING: The company relies on litigation protection for "forward-looking"
statements.
