Specialist dealer of the month: Kotte Computer & Consulting and Mathias-Telekommunikation

Two Funkwerk Dabendorf specialist retailers are cooperating to sell the Home Compenser for rapid Internet connections in rural regions. At www.umts-verstaerker.de, they have set up their own website that tells visitors about the signal boosters and also offers direct ordering facilities. Commercial successes have already been achieved. This level of commitment from specialist dealers is something that really delights us. Funkwerk Dabendorf wishes them continued excellent business!

Outstanding audio quality, simple operation, an extensive range of cradles, rapid cradle changes, direct connection to the external antenna, minimised mobile phone radiation in the car ... There are lots of good reasons to buy our cradle-based hands-free classic Audio 2000. Now we’d like you to tell us where you think the system's potential lies and which cradles you want to be offered. Simply write us an e-mail headed “Audio 2000” and send it to marketing@fwd-online.de. All the e-mails will be put into a draw, and three lucky winners will receive an Audio 2000 basic set and a cradle of their choice.

The Leipzig trade fair team reported positive results from the first AMICOM. The industry trade fair for vehicle infotainment, which was being held simultaneously with the AMI, inspired tuners and dealers in equal measure. Funkwerk Dabendorf also seized the opportunity to showcase the latest communications trends in the car. Given the variety of cradles for the Audio 2000 hands-free kit, interest in a cradle for the iPhone was tremendous. Funkwerk Dabendorf will be offering this in the second quarter. The Compenser solutions for stable mobile network connections in the car or as the Home Compenser for rapid Internet via the mobile network at home also met with huge demand.
Previously, Funkwerk Dabendorf launched two local sales campaigns and drew tickets as well as hands-free kits EGO Cup FM in the name of the specialist dealers FAG Kommunikation of Grimma and Teleconcept of Magdeburg in their local press.

Many car buyers assume that their brand-new Bluetooth telephone will be compatible with the standard hands-free kit. If this isn’t checked before purchase, the disappointment can be a big one – and in fact one car buyer recently took the matter to court, but wasn’t successful, as it was reported by German newspaper FAZ. The reason for limited compatibility with standard solutions are the different life cycles of CE devices and vehicles. While car manufacturers accept long and tedious release tests as fair exchange for perfect audio quality, retrofit solutions need to be available as universally as possible and quickly. The hands-free kits from Funkwerk Dabendorf satisfy the demands of both these markets. You can test compatibility with retrofit systems here, your customer will thank you for it!
