A Saudi company is reported to have recently concluded a deal for the purchase of $250,000 worth of mobile phone equipment, produced by Israel’s Sygnet Technologies International (STI) firm. The transaction will be carried out through a third company, based in Western Europe, that distributes STI’s products internationally, Globes reported.
Despite the mounting regional tensions, an order was placed with STI to supply the Saudis with 12,000 radiation-safe headsets for cellular telephones. The deal was struck following Sygnet’s participation in the international CeBIT exhibition in Hanover, Germany, in mid-March.
STI develops advanced products for the cellular phone market. Its mobile headsets prevent exposure to cellular radiation and are sold under the name RadFree AirWave Headsets for $20 each, about one-fifth the price of competing wireless headsets.
While in regular headset, the wires may act as a conductor and still transmit a portion of the radiation to the users’ head, Sygnet headsets eliminate replace the wire with an air tube, thus reducing conductivity and radiation exposure. Sygnet Technologies International Ltd. is a majority-owned company of the Jerusalem-based Sygnet Technologies Ltd. — (menareport.com)
