New Product
Last quarter we announced our revolutionary new smartphone communications docking station, the iFusion SmartStation, at MacWorld in San Francisco. The iFusion integrates a "traditional" desktop phone handset and full duplex speakerphone to smartphones, enabling organizations to replace the need for desktop office phones while also addressing the requirements of mobile and remote employees. During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we completed a successful rollout of our new iFusion SmartStation, which made a modest initial contribution to our top-line during the quarter. The iFusion has been well received in the market place and the Company expects shipments will continue to increase in the fourth quarter and beyond.
Jeremiah Fleming, AltiGen's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are very excited about the positive momentum generated by our new Unified Mobile Convergence solutions, which include the iFusions and our new MaxMobile UC apps for smartphones. We expect this momentum to continue to build as we drive these solutions into the enterprise and service providers markets."
