A second production line of mobile phones has started up in Iran, reports the local Iran Daily newspaper. According to a press release faxed to Iran Daily, Alireza Nourpour asserted that all tests on the mobile telephone handset will be conducted under the supervision of the Industries and Mines Ministry. "Iranian companies will have full access to technology transfer in software section," he added.
The Director general of Electric and Metal Industries noted that production of mobile telephone handset, named GTX, was officially launched last week.
"Since the main issue in production of cellular phones is tests by specialists conducted after production, such tests are not completely conducted for many brands of imported mobile phones," he added.
The first factory to manufacture mobile phone handsets opened in Hashtgerd, Tehran province, in March. It has more than 200 after sales service centers throughout the country."
