Mobile Phone Fuel Cells to Be Trialed in the UK
Medis Technologies has entered into a Cooperation Agreement with an un-named UK based 3G operator, for the testing and introduction to the market of Medis' fuel cell Power Packs as a secondary power source for portable electronic devices offered by the mobile operator. This Agreement is similar to the previously announced Agreement with a major mobile operator in the United States.
"We are very pleased with the signing of a Cooperation Agreement with this mobile operator, particularly in view of its advanced product line and the broad outreach of its major shareholders," said Robert K. Lifton, Chairman and CEO of Medis Technologies. "As we have previously announced, by entering into this kind of contractual relationship, the mobile operator is helping to further our market seeding efforts by introducing our Power Pack product to their customer base. We anticipate the signing of additional Cooperation Agreements which will further expand our outreach to the "enterprise" and broad consumer markets.
We continue on schedule with our program of providing Power Packs to the mobile operators with whom we have Cooperation Agreements and to our distributors starting later this month. At the same time, we are moving forward with our production plans with a semi-automated line in place at the end of this year and a fully automated line in place by the last half of 2006."
