Addressing the subscriber growth anticipated in emerging markets around the world, the QSC1100 solution features multiple technologies to improve network capacity by upto 100 per cent.

Manufacturers can now offer smaller and sleeker designs at significantly lower price points and benefit from reduced development time for quicker time to market.

In addition, it carries features like downloadable polyphonic ringtones and colour displays.
