Business and communication...
THE ONE CAN'T EXIST WITHOUT THE OTHER.
This co-dependency inspired Tellumat Mobile to create the M744 GSM Community telephone, a product at the heart of a dynamic business opportunity.
The M744 GSM Community telephone, remote controller and management system form a robust and secure communications system. It facilitates a franchise (dealer) business model where franchisees (operators) sell airtime in their community. For minimal startup cost, the operator can enjoy an immediate return on investment on a user-friendly telephone. This kind of product has many positive socio-political spin-offs, contributing to the growth of small and medium enterprises (SME) as well as individual operators.
The M744 Community Telephone operates on 900/1800 MHz or 900/1900 MHz GSM networks supporting voice, data and SMS transmission. The controller accommodates up to ten M744 phones in a telecentre environment facilitating operation of the phones from a remote position. The Management Information System controls either prepaid or post paid SIMs in the phones and gives the dealer full control of his business.
