To support the evaluation and certification scheme, the Company obtained accreditation from OFTA in July 1999 as one of the Recognized Test Agencies (RTA) to continue to conduct testing on CPE against the relevant Telecommunications Authority (TA) standards. With our long history and highly skilled engineers, our evaluations on CPE include: Facsimile transceiver (FAX) Interactive voice response system (IVRS) Keyline telephone system (KTS) Private automatic branch exchange (PABX) Telephone Cordless telephone Modem Asynchronous digital subscriber line (ADSL) modem Routers. The CPE verified by us with a full detailed test report will then be granted certification from OFTA for connection to any Hong Kong public telecommunications network.
