T&A

T&A Mobile Phones Limited ("T&A") was established in August 2004 by TCL Communication and Alcatel. Alcatel is the worldwide leader in telecommunications network equipment, applications and services and sold handsets in approximately 50 countries including Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa. Alcatel also has close relationships with many major telecommunication operators such as Orange, Vodafone, Telefonica and TIM. TCL Mobile and T&A are co-operating to develop next-generation handset technologies through sharing engineering resources and distribute each other's branded products through their respective sales and distribution networks.

Aims to further improve the operating efficiencies and shareholding structure of T&A, TCL Communication entered into the Framework Agreement with Alcatel in May 2005. After the restructuring, T&A becomes 100% owned subsidiary of TCL Communication. With the support of Alcatel, our strategic partner, we believe the restructuring will further enhance the Group's competitiness and speed up the synergy realization between T&A and TCL mobile.
