Last September, the company has announced its tie-up with Turkey-based Karel Electronics Corporation whereby it started to offer economical key telephone systems in the local market in association with them. "Now, we have strengthened our relationship with them and it's a win-win situation for both of us," said Sameer Parekh, Managing Director, Intellicon Pvt Ltd.

Although the relationship started by importing their products, now, both of them supplement each other with the areas of expertise we have. Intellicon has extended its relationship with meeting the software requirements for Karel solutions and further involving in the production of Karel products in its manufacturing facility.

According to the company, the product is compatible with VoIP standards and technology which allows for easy upgradability in future.
