CellPoint Unwire a Hit at 3GSM World in Cannes Cannes, February 22 - CellPoint Unwire's live demonstrations of wirefree telemetry services are proving to be a main attraction in Cannes. "We have over 200 leads in the first two days and received product orders for thousands of units the first morning," said Mikael Carlsson, Vice President of Sales and Marketing with CellPoint Unwire. CellPoint Unwire is demonstrating commercial M-commerce and showing cashless transactions with a vending machine stocked with snacks. "Film crews from France's TV3 were here yesterday and journalists have been impressed to see real telemetry and M-Commerce in action," continued Carlsson. "We'll be showing even a broader range of solutions at CeBIT in Germany next month." Following on yesterday's keynote presentation on wirefree telemetry by Hans Snook, CEO of Orange, CellPoint Unwire is showing live telemetry services that go beyond telephony.
