Are your customers looking for a hands-free kit that offers perfect voice quality and excellent compatibility, that is easy and safe to operate and also has a contemporary flat design? Then our new Audio 2010 Bluetooth hands-free kit is the perfect solution. Multipoint technology means that both business and private phones can be registered simultaneously and used with the Audio 2010. The system offers the brilliant feature of voice control, making telephone calls in the car even easier. Users and installation partners can stay flexible when it comes to installation: with a pad, a bracket and a plate, there are no fewer than three installation options available. Maybe you already have customers that have been inspired by the Audio 2010, or perhaps you're already a convinced user? We’d love to hear your experiences. Write to us at marketing@fwd-online.de.

Our second new addition to our product portfolio also means that you, as a dealer, can secure yourself an attractive margin. The Active Antenna is a straightforward solution for fast Internet connections via mobile networks, making it ideal for areas without a DSL infrastructure. Even though the mobile network signal may be strong outside the building, reinforced concrete walls or double glazing can often lead to poor reception inside. The Active Antenna provides the solution thanks to Funkwerk Dabendorf's patented Compenser technology, which boosts the signal. You will find detailed information on the product here. Have you already tried the Active Antenna out for yourself? We’d love to hear what you thought of it. Contact us at marketing@fwd-online.de.

The Süddeutsche Zeitung regularly features German companies that rank among the top 3 in the world in their industry. On July 3rd, Germany's largest national daily newspaper reported on the Compenser, which has been developed and patented by Funkwerk Dabendorf. Over 4 million of the mobile network amplifiers for use in vehicles have been assembled, and feature in top-of-the-range models from German car manufacturers such as Audi, BMW and Daimler. The Compenser’s technology has now been transferred to stationary applications: it features in the outdoor unit of the Active Antenna as well as in the Home Compenser, bringing fast Internet via a stable UMTS connection.

We want to be able to offer you the best possible support when you are selling our products. As a result, we regularly feature colleagues who are dealer of the month so that they can share ideas for customer consultations or suggestions for new marketing ideas with you. This support has also impressed the editors of the special interest magazine CE Market: since June, the most innovative Funkwerk Dabendorf dealers have been showcased every month in the print edition of this specialist journal. Working with committed dealers makes us proud and grateful. Maybe you too have sales ideas and would like to share them with your colleagues. If so, get in touch at marketing@fwd-online.de.
