The change of name reflects the transformation of the company from an Australasian based manufacturer of innovative paging and mobile data products to a company with worldwide sales growth and an expanding presence particularly in the North American market.
WiPath Communications opened a sales office in Los Angeles earlier this year to better support its rapidly growing network of customers and resellers and appointed George Rishfeld as VP North America to head up the North American operations.
WiPath Communications originally developed the PDT2000 Paging Data Terminal which remains its biggest seller due to its unique format and intelligent capabilities and has since expanded its range to include a number of highly innovative paging terminal and infrastructure products as well as an expanding array of wireless data solutions consisting a range of mobile data terminals, vehicle tracking and monitoring solutions.
According to Mr. Rishfeld “From emergency services to facilities management, there is a rapidly growing demand in the North American marketplace for the technologies that WiPath has pioneered in the Australasian markets. The company’s products have been very well received by a large variety of industries in North America and the sales growth has determined the need to aggressively develop and deploy a network of distributors, manufacturer’s reps and resellers capable of satisfying the markets demands throughout the continent.”
Selective Communications started in Auckland, New Zealand in 1993 and in 2000 opened offices in Sydney, Australia followed by Brisbane in 2002. The company has concentrated in recent years on product development in the paging and mobile data fields and now produces a range of hardware and software solutions used by emergency services, utilities and field service operations in many parts of the world. WiPath President, Craig Meldrum notes, “Our products have become recognized as innovative and highly flexible and it became obvious that we need to have a North American presence to better service our growing customer base there.
