Peter Berwing,
Chairman of the DECT Forum Board said: “In 2000 many countries outside Europe
opened their markets for DECT products, allowing us to benefit from the DECT
Forum’s efforts to develop those markets in the past. In the years to come, we
will see continued growth of our business in particular in Asia and South
America”. Heinz Ochsner, the Forum’s Secretary, added: “Also in Europe,
where in some countries DECT accounts for more than 90% of the cordless
telephones market, the introduction of new data products, started in 2000, will
leverage the already successful market to further growth”. During the “DECT 2001” conference, the
DECT Forum will present more achievements of the DECT industry and elaborate
further the development of the markets. “DECT 2001” is the annual conference
