Welcome to MCM's December 2004 Newsletter.

Hi from MCM’s Staff 

Christmas time is upon us again and with the silly season here, we are about to get more work than we can handle, because at this time of year there seems to be fewer hours to do the work. 

I thought it would be a good time to take the chance to introduce some of our staff to you. Many of you talk to us over the phone and sometimes you must wonder who it is that is talking to you on the other end of the phone.

 

Brooke Taylor

Reception

Brooke is our receptionist and is usually the first person you speak to when you call our office.  Brooke can help with basic sales and accounts enquiries.

 

“Wishing you all a lovely Christmas and a safe and happy New Year.  I’m looking forward to hearing from you in 2005 …..Brooke”

 

 

Glenn Short

Feedback on September's Newsletter 

Following our article on GSM and GPRS in our September Newsletter, MCM received feedback from another manufacturer of GSM products based in Melbourne.  This company took offence to MCMs article about GSM/GPRS problems.  The company claimed to have quite different performance results on their product compared to the information MCM had gathered.  MCM offered to review and amend its reporting if their test results proved different from the results that MCM had found.

But unfortunately, the offer has not been taken up, so I assume that either ….

They have excellent performance data that cannot be disputed but don’t want to share it with anyone …or

They have no meaningful data  … or 

They have not carried out the tests …or

They are now busy at work carrying out the tests ….or

All is not as is portrayed…      

Telstra's Expanded Securitel Network  

Interest still running "HOT"

 

As mentioned last Newsletter, Telstra has completed the expansion to the Securitel network and reviewed its pricing. 

 

It is worthwhile noting….The connection fee for new Securitel customers connected between 1st of July 2004 and 30th June 2005 has been waived i.e. Nil. 

 

Rental discounts on STUs connected to the new scanners in regional areas also apply. Click here to find out more

 

We at MCM have noticed a sharp increase in the sales of our Securitel Communications Receiver (SCS) and an increase in the level of enquiries about our SCS from newer central stations.

 

ADSL Installer's guide

MCM is the major supplier of ADSL filters to the security industry.

But a high level of support is required to cope with the lack of industry awareness and lack of accurate information for installers.  MCM has added to its website a new ADSL Installers guide to help in ADSL filter installation.
