(Boulder, Colo. – Oct. 5, 2009) – WildCharge Inc., the leader in wire-free power technology, announced today that it has signed an exclusive distribution agreement with Mint Wireless Limited, an Australia-based portable technology company, to distribute WildCharge’s wire-free power technology products to mobile and wireless operator’s retail stores across Australia and New Zealand. This is the first known distribution agreement for wire-free power technology products to be sold in these two countries.
“WildCharge is thrilled to extend our distribution reach to Australia and New Zealand and feel that Mint Wireless is a perfect partner to help spread our wire-free product line to mobile device users across these countries,” said Dennis Grant, CEO and chairman of WildCharge. “Mint Wireless is known for bringing innovation to the Australian and New Zealand markets, so we are very pleased to offer our leading edge wire-free charging products in these countries that have a reputation of being leaders in the wireless space.”
Mint Wireless will supply a range of innovative wire-free power technology products which eliminate the need for consumers to regularly transport bulky chargers, adapters, and cords for every battery-powered mobile device they carry, thus ending the struggle with congested outlets and power strips.
“We see limitless possibilities in being the first distributor to bring wire-free charging products to the Australian and New Zealand markets, and are very happy to partner with WildCharge to make that happen,” said Alex Teoh, CEO, Mint Wireless. “The deal clincher for us was being able to leverage WildCharge’s reference designs, allowing us to immediately distribute products that work with almost every mobile device already on the market here in these countries. That’s an incredibly low point of entry and means that we don’t have to wait to see distribution and sales results.”
