Quadtel: xDSL, Breitbandtechnologie - 500 Beiträge pro Seite

[Sun Tzu]

Glücklich wer in den vergangen Monaten auf die Aktien von Glasfasseraktien gesetzt hat, so die Einleitung zur Titelstory des Wirtschaftsteils der FAZ vom Wochenende.

Wieso? Der Grund ist einfach: Der Datenverkehr im Internet verdoppelt sich alle hundert Tage. Der Hunger der Telekommunikations- und Internetunternehmen nach immer größeren Übertragungskapazitäten, nach mehr Bandbreite nimmt stetig zu.

Quadtel ist das einzige Unternehmen, das sich ausschließlich auf den Vertrieb, den Service und die Unterstütztung aller Arten der Breitbandtechnologie konzentriert hat. Dazu gehören xDSL, Kabel, Drahtlostechnik und Glasfaser.

Während US-amerikanische Glasfaseraktien wie JDS Uniphase und Nortel Networks in den letzten 12 Monaten bereits um 200 bis 400% gestiegen sind, handelt sich bei Quadtel um ein noch junges Unternehmen aus diesem Bereich. Quadtel geht aus der ehemaligen australisch-kanadischen Minengesellschaft Caledonian Minerals hervor. Die bekannte Telekomminikationsfirma Alcatel beteiligte sich an Caledonian Minerals (jetzt: Quadtel) im Rahmen einer Kapitalerhöhung und brachte das know-how für die Breitbandtechnologie, das Management und die bestehenden Niederlassung im asiatisch-pacifischen Raum einer eigenen Tochtergesellschaft in die in Quadtel umbenannte Gesellschaft ein.

Während die amerikanischen Breidbandaktien weiterhin aussichtsreich sind, aber dennoch schon gut bis sehr gut gelaufen sind, bietet sich mit Quadtel ein Investment in den asiatisch-pacifischen Raum an. Diese Region hinkt den USA um ca. 1- 2 Jahre hinterher. Damit hat Quadtel ein ungleich höheres Kurspotential als die bereits in den USA etablierten Unternehmen. Da es sich um eine Tochtergesellschaft von Alcatel handelt ist ein Absturz des Kurses ins Bodenlose nahezu ausgeschlossen.

Gehandelt wird die Aktie derzeit in Australien und Toronto mit dem Kürzel "qtl". Der Kurs stieg heute um 15% auf 0,62 A$, nachdem Quadtel eine Kooperation mit dem Unternehmen Netcomm bekannt gab.

Nähere Informationen sind auch auf der Homepage www.quadtel.com zu finden, aber nur auf Englisch.

Quadtel Limited (ASX: QTL) today announced a strategic alliance with
Netcomm Limited.

This alliance consists of 2 components:

Firstly, Netcomm has appointed Quadtel as preferred supplier for
Netcomm`s Carrier Division, which should realise A$2 - A$4 million
per annum to Quadtel.

Secondly, Quadtel has agreed to represent Netcomm`s broadband
products both in Australia and Asia, which will be worth in excess
of A$10 million per annum in sales to Quadtel.

The alliance centres on Quadtel becoming the preferred supplier to
Netcomm`s carrier division for customer premises equipment,
logistics, installation, internetworking and content services.

"We are very excited about signing up Netcomm as a customer for our
end-to-end broadband solution. This will lead to improved customer
satisfaction for Netcomm`s DSL access customers and increased revenue
for Quadtel" said David Ramsay, Quadtel CEO.

In a linked arrangement with Netcomm, Quadtel becomes a major
distributor of Netcomm`s products. The Australian and Asia Pacific
distribution agreement includes sales of DSL customer premises
equipment (CPE) to carriers and Internet service providers (ISP`s)
throughout the region.

"The alliance opens up significant new markets for both companies,"
Netcomm Managing Director David Stewart said.

"Netcomm, which is a leading provider of CPE products can now access
Quadtel`s outstanding national and international distribution and
sales channels with today`s agreement."

This relationship is timely as the broadband DSL marketplace,
internationally as well as domestically, is set to explode in the
next 12 to 18 months.

"The alliance is an ideal complement to Quadtel`s growth plans, as it
allows us to offer a wider range of products to our customers, and it
is a demonstration of our value to ISP and carrier customers in
Australia and throughout the Asia-Pacific region," concluded Mr
Ramsay.

MEDIA RELEASE

Australian broadband product and service supplier Quadtel Limited
(ASX/CDNX:QTL) has announced the launch of its Content & Software
Division, becoming Australia`s only provider of complete broadband
solutions encompassing broadband hardware, software and content.

"We are working with Internet Service Providers across the Asia
Pacific as they roll out broadband networks, and they all tell us the
same thing - developing and implementing their content strategy is
just as challenging as rolling out the actual network hardware,"
explained David Ramsay, Quadtel CEO. "The new Division offers a range
of consultancy and software services to help."

Quadtel is the only Australian company focusing purely on broadband
technology. The new Division complements Quadtel`s other activities,
which include the logistics, delivery, installation and support of
broadband hardware.

"Apart from our own in-depth understanding of broadband content, we
are developing partnerships with key players in the field, including
broadband content brokers, suppliers of broadband content management
software and providers of the hardware and services required to cope
with broadband traffic," said Mathew Lowry, Quadtel`s content
manager. "As a result we can offer solutions unavailable elsewhere.
The broadband industry is moving at a breakneck pace, so only a
company totally focused on broadband can offer this sort of
specialised knowledge."

QBLAZEL - QUADTEL`S BROADBAND PORTAL

Also announced today are Quadtel`s plans to launch QBlazel, a new
Australian broadband portal designed to explain broadband to
narrowband users.

"QBlazel is a strategic investment by Quadtel in the Australian
broadband industry," explained Mr Lowry. "Overseas experience shows
that broadband is a very confusing place. By making it easier to
understand we aim to push uptake beyond the early adopters and get
the market moving. It`s a central part of our partnership program
with broadband ISPs."

QBlazel will feature a `Get Me Broadband!` Wizard to help home and
business users find the best broadband package, while a wide range of
original feature articles, broadband guides, case studies and "How
To`s" will help them get the most out of it. Content partners will
round out the offering, providing regular feeds of news, reviews and
more.

needs, from hardware supply to content strategy. We`ve already
generated a lot of interest among our client base."

international expansion to become a major provider of new generation
multimedia. "Quadtel`s services and expertise are a perfect fit for
the K*Grind range of multimedia solutions, and provide us with a
