In this teleconference, smartBridges Tech-support team will also focus on sharing product/ firmware/ software updates with the distributors and offer relevant guidance and training.  A typical tele-conference under this initiative: 1.      Involves technical personnel from our partner's organisation and the smartBridges Technical Support Team 2.      Covers multiple areas including technical issues, product issues, product updates, and suggestions on improvements 3.      Solicits from our channel partners, detailed customer feedback captured from end-users in terms of features, application, performance etc. Moving forward, we plan to have a Technical Newsletter for distributors and key customers. It shall be dedicated to tech-support and will mainly feature technical issues, deployment, configuration and installation issues. The tele-conference and the newsletter together are also aimed at providing a platform for discussing application level issues, value-added solutions and technology directions.These efforts are in line with our objective of forging closer ties with our partners, ensuring that their feedback is adequately captured in all organisation wide processes particularly in product development, sales and marketing. We will be most glad to hear your opinions on the Weekly Tele-conference Initiative.  Do write to our tech-support  at [EMAIL PROTECTED]  to participate or to get more information on this. “Special Promotion Package from smartBridges & Electro-Comm Distributing,USA” In the run-up to WISPCON IV, Electro-Comm Distributing, our US partner has announced a Special Promotion Package with airPoint PRO Outdoor.
