Successfully Acquired a Listed Company in Hong Kong!

Finally!!

Finally, after months of paperwork and anxieties, we are happy to announce that Emcom has successfully acquired a listed company, China Photar, in Hong Kong!


The recent acquisition of China Photar, a Hong Kong GEM listed company, is a huge step towards our goal to become a BILLION dollar company by 2010. Principal Business activities of China Photar include development, design and sale of consumer electronics, especially DVD players, fax machines, mobile phones, and Home Theatre Systems. Together with its 10,000 distribution points throughout China, the acquisition of China Photar would give our company a solid foothold into the huge China market. As part of our plans to improve the consumer electronics business of
China Photar, a series of plans expand the consumer electronics business is already in the works, and we would be working closely with many of our partners in the South-East Asian markets to quickly increase our trading activities in the region.


Getting a foothold into China has been a key part of our corporate strategy since we first set up our company, as China is too large a market to simply ignore With more than 1.3 billion people in China, the huge Chinese economy has been growing at a ferocious pace over the past ten years, and having recently overtaken Germany and Japan to become the world’s second largest economy. Looking ahead, while there are certainly issues that China has to cope with in its drive towards economic growth, there looks to be no stopping this massive behemoth in its drive towards modernization. For Emcom, we plan to increase our presence in the Chinese market, and we hope to announce more exciting news in the near future to our stakeholders on our company’s future developments in China.

Once again, thank you for all the support that we have received so far from our partners and clients. We could not have done it without you!

Seize the day!

Em™Call – The Official Launch

Finally, we have officially launched Em™Call in Singapore and its first phrase of CallBack Services! It was both an exciting and memorable experience. The event room was fully packed with people overflowing to the back and with people continually trying to inch forward just to hear the latest updates and news of what Em™Call has to offer.


Although CallBack services are not a new thing in the market, with the advent of new technology and the communications era, this has enabled Em™Call to break the mould and provide cost effective and reliable phone services to everyone. Being able to cut most people’s phone bills by more than 50%, Em™Call value adds and brings affordability to both local and global telecommunications.

To date, the official launch of Em™Call is a milestone, not only for us in Emcom but to many others out there. In just a matter of days, we have a total of more than 16,000 subscriptions purchased, bringing in revenue of more than USD1000,000 for Em™Call. The customer service line has also been ringing off the hook serving the enquiries of the large quantities of people who wants to integrate and use the service immediately. For more information, please look at our Em™Call Website

The official launch of Em™Call is not only a milestone to us but more importantly to other people and our clients because they are able to benefit greatly from it. With Em™Call and greater cost savings, end-users would be able to call their friends, and partners in life with a lower cost and with more endearing talk time. Businesses would be able to lower their IDD call charges or their overseas telephone costs by a drastic amount, and allowing great savings especially for international calls.

In the coming weeks, it would be an even more exciting time for Em™Call as we start launching our callback services into the other countries and offering this exciting service to more people. We would also be increasing our efforts to move on to our next phrase of implementation to offer SIP and VoIP services to our existing users. Research and development efforts have also been increased to offer more exciting services to our users such as one-step dialling and much more.


With one-step dialling, not only will you be able to benefit from the huge cost-savings of Em™Call, you would also have the ease and convenience of using Em™Call just like a normal phone.


At Em™Call, we pledge to bring communications to everyone. We pledge to bring cost savings, effective and reliable services and more importantly, we pledge to strive to offer
NOTHING BUT THE BEST.

No One Cares For Your Pocket Like We Do.

EmCall Presentation

The last few days have been a very exciting time for Emcom! In introducing and giving updates on the recent progress of Emcom and its business units, we presented Emcom to more than 2000 delegates from 9 different countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Brunei, and Korea.

Situated in a conference room in Toa Payoh Hub, the international conference was held over a period of a few days with overwhelming response from the many different countries. The event was a huge success with people filling up not only the entire room, but had people standing up and overflowing all the way till the back of the room. Imagine a highly enthusiastic crowd filled with people coming from different countries who speak different languages! It was an interesting yet challenging feat, talking to people from a variety of cultures and countries. There was one conference when there were two translators in the room, translating two different languages as I spoke!

Overall, it was a unique experience with an amazing crowd. Not only were the people very excited over the new updates of Emcom, they were amazed at the tremendous growth and progress which Emcom has made. Growing from just a small company in May 2006, Emcom has grown to an international conglomerate with 6 subsidiaries and 2 operational business units in the last 8 months. Also with an international presence, Emcom’s has strong active presence in the Asia Pacific Region including Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, and Taiwan and by the end of 2007, Malaysia, Hong Kong, and China. With a turnover of USD10 million in the last 8 months Emcom has done tremendous well for a newly start-up company which is slightly less than a year old.



One of the most exciting sections of the conference was on the introduction of Em™Call. In the next few months, Em™Call would be officially launched and we would be able to provide cost effective, reliable phone services to everyone. The crowd was very excited when Em™Call was presented as it would enable them to cut their phone bills by more than 50%. Quoting one of the delegates from China, “We are now able to make overseas calls for just a fraction of the cost! Not only am I able to decrease my business overheads but with this cost savings, I am able to expand globally more into other markets without worrying about communication charges!”



One of the quotes from a man whom I really respect, Walt Disney has really touched my heart. “As long as you have the courage to dream, you can achieve”. And it was following these words that I live upon everyday to really dare to take a step forward to live my dreams. I remember very early on when we first started on this dream to build a wireless world and to connect wirelessly whole countries; people laughed and said that it was impossible. However I did not believe so. I believed that the word impossible stands for “I M POSSIBLE”.

The last few months which has passed has not been an easy one. However the hard work has really paid off, in seeing the growth of Emcom throughout the months and how far it has progressed. With the support and approval of the crowd and in seeing their upmost excitement and enthusiasm for the new products and services which would be coming out, the moment was very gratifying not only for me but more importantly for all the staff in Emcom. Without the hard work and input of all the dedicated staff in Emcom, the company would not have been able to progress so far. It is really through their dedication and hard work that results were created. Here, I would really like to thank them for all the effort they have placed in and all the sleepless nights they had in rushing out the projects and reports. It is the people that make the company work and it is this strong team that will bring the company to greater heights and beyond.

ACHIEVING GREATER HEIGHTS & BEYOND!!!

Radwin Appoints Emcom as Regional Distributor

The RADWIN Regional Partners Meeting Asia 2007 was held at the Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore on March 6-7, 2007. The positive energy that surrounded the event was truly inspiring, and it was gratifying for us to see other channel partners and the RADWIN team come together and share their experiences and know-how.
During this technical seminar, Emcom’s Hassim Selahudin, Kenneth Ang, and Mohammed Darvin have all completed the official WinLink™ 1000 technical training. They are now certified to install, commission and maintain RADWIN's WinLink™ 1000 systems.

It was a special day for us at Emcom. Radwin has officially appointed us as a Distributor for their products in the region. This is an exciting event for Emcom as we continue to build the Company into a leading provider of a wireless lifestyle!

Celebration in Taiwan!

A major strategic shift have resulted in a drastic shift in our operations model. With the upcoming businesses in Cambodia, Taiwan, and our upcoming business division, Em™Call, there was a strong impetus for us to increase our manpower in our company. And at the same time, to allow better allocation of our resources, we have now established separate divisions to handle the different upcoming projects.

With Em™Beyond to handle most of our B2B businesses, with a special focus on wireless technology, and Em™Call to handle our voice communications business, there was also a strong need for us to allocate manpower to handle our Em™Taipei project. With our Em™Taipei project in the process of finalizing our planning stages, we are ready to move forward to begin our foray into Taipei!


For Em™Taipei, we would expect to begin construction in June 2007, and with the surface area being ten times more than our project in Taichung, we expect this to be a huge challenge indeed! When completed, Em™Taipei would be the largest seamless Wifi-enabled Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) in the world! With our project management scheduled to be formed by the end of April, we are confident that they can rise to the challenge.


Visit the EmcomGroup Website!

At the same time, our design team gave me a wonderful birthday present while I was in Taiwan! Our new improved website, www.emcomgroup.net, was finally launched! The design was way beyond my expectations! I must say that once again, they have done a fantastic job! There is still a little bit of fine tuning to be completed for the website, but we expect it to be completed soon.

Thanks for the fantastic birthday present team!
