TDK strikes PC Card deal with Nokia
TDK's PC card division has signed a licensing agreement with Nokia to develop GSM data and fax compatible cards for its mobile phone interface.
The deal extends TDK's boundaries for its PC cards by giving the company access to all GSM based telephony standards. This will put TDK at the forefront of European-wide compatible PC card development.
A range of GSM Nokia-compatible cards are due for release throughout the year to add to its existing Global Class range.
"The link with Nokia gives our customers a flexible data communications capacity with multi-country approvals for landline connections, and wireless connectivity, wherever GSM networks operate," said David Heppe, TDK's operations manager of the European PC Card Division.
