Zoom Telephonics Expands and Extends Motorola Brand License
Worldwide Rights
Agreement Extended Through 2025
Boston, MA - (NewMediaWire) - April 13, 2020 - Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (“Zoom”) (OTCQB: ZMTP), a leading
manufacturer of cable modems and other communications products, today announced
the extension of its Home Networking License with Motorola Mobility LLC.
The renewed agreement runs through 2025 and applies to a wide range of
products, including consumer-grade cellular modems and gateways, DSL modems and
gateways, and MoCA (Multimedia over Coax) adapters.
“Motorola strives to
enable everyone to stay connected,” said Dave Carroll, Executive Director of
Strategic Brand Partnerships for Motorola. “Through this expanded partnership
with Zoom, we are thrilled to enable consumers more ways to work and play from
home, while managing their home network with a suite of innovative services.”
“We’re excited about this
extension of our licensing agreement with Motorola Mobility,” said Joe Wytanis,
Zoom’s CEO. “We have had a great relationship with Motorola since we first
acquired the license in 2016 and expect the strong brand recognition the
Motorola name brings will continue to be the centerpiece of an aggressive
marketing program. We continue to develop high-performance cable modems
utilizing the latest technology and have received favorable reviews from a
number of highly regarded consumer premise equipment (“CPE”) product reviewers.”
Mr. Wytanis continued,
“Like many companies, Zoom is working through the current landscape by having
employees work remotely as the safety of our team and community is
paramount. We believe the prevalence of ‘teleworking’ in general has the
potential to stimulate demand for our products, especially our gateway devices
which allow users to enjoy the maximum bandwidth and speeds allowed by their
ISPs. With this new agreement we will be well-positioned to help
consumers seamlessly work remotely.”
