CECT Introduces High Security Mobile Handset with Fingerprint Recognition


BEIJING, China --(Business Wire)-- Qiao Xing Mobile Communication Co., Ltd. ("Qiao Xing Mobile" or "the Company") (NYSE: QXM), one of China's leading manufacturers of mobile handsets through its CECT subsidiary, today announced the introduction of the Company's most innovative handset to date - the T100- a information security mobile phone featuring fingerprint recognition, ultra long standby, multimedia features such as streaming TV.



CECT Takes a Significant Step to Ensure Information Security

Qiao Xing Mobile believes CECT's new T100 handset opens a new era of mobile security by introducing fingerprint identification technology. The Company believes this marks the first time that information security technology with fingerprint protections has been applied to personal handset among mobile phone manufacturers in China.


"The mobile handset industry has rapidly expanded and diversified from voice-based communications to data-driven applications, and as a result, we believe handset security will start to become a significant concern," commented Chairman of CECT, Mr. Wu Zhi Yang. "We believe there is tremendous market potential for handsets with technological features that are designed to safeguard data on both the device and over the network. Consumers have started to regularly use mobile phones for email and instant messaging, but as wireless applications become more sophisticated and telecom networks continue to increase their data connection speeds, we think people are going to start using their handsets to conduct such wireless transactions as electronic banking, securities trading and internet shopping. The fingerprint recognition scanner on our new T100 model will specifically ensure that such confidential data that is stored on handsets remains secure. This phone, which also offers a sleek design and ultra long battery life in standby mode, marks the latest product release for us that is designed with differentiated features that specifically cater to mid to high-end mobile phone users."

T100 Distribution to Include TV Shopping

Currently, a campaign to promote the image of CECT and its products has been launched through major mass media outlets, including CCTV. Additionally, the Company has had successful experience in selling its C1000 model though television infomercials. CECT intends to replicate this with the T100, while also using more traditional distribution channels to maximize the new product's market potential.
