Game Lets Users Build Wireless Networks, Advance to New Markets

LIBERTY LAKE, Wash., March 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Adding a telecom angle to the mobile gaming world, Telect® today introduced Telecom Tycoon™, the company's first mobile gaming app. Available for free in the iTunes® App Store, Telecom Tycoon works on all iPhone® and iPod® touch devices.

Telecom Tycoon builds on the gameplay of popular simulation games, allowing players to create mobile networks, deploy cell towers, and "win cities" to move on to new levels and new challenges. Just like the real wireless world, players have to optimally deploy wireless technologies and watch out for competitors. Those who don't set up their towers first may miss out on revenue.  

"We're excited to launch Telecom Tycoon," said Wayne Williams, Telect president and CEO. "It's a fun way to utilize the wireless networks that incorporate our equipment as core infrastructure."

In addition to the mobile app, Telect offers a wealth of additional online and mobile resources through Telect.com, one of the first web sites in the company's industry to enable full purchasing, delivery and order tracking functionality online.

"Embracing innovation for connecting with customers is part of our culture at Telect – we look forward to receiving feedback," said Paul Knight, Telect's VP of product development and marketing. "The combination of our culture and products is what sets Telect apart."

Telecom Tycoon is designed to be portable to other mobile operating systems.
