Panasonic Ranks High in Worldwide Telecom Market

 

 

 

 

 

Since 1988, Infotel Systems has installed and currently manages many large 100+ set telephone systems. Yet, our core market is the 100 and below phone set customers. This is also Panasonic's core market. Panasonic's average world rank appears to be #2 and about tied for 4th in the US. We have done our best to be scientific about this and include our sources. We have not deleted any sources contrary to any desired result.

 

Panasonic has more experience and has produced more telephone sets and wireless phones worldwide than any other manufacturer.

How about a Reality Check to be Fair...

 

Panasonic markets a simple unified messaging option. An advanced "synchronized"  option is available BUT this is not Panasonic's core market. Panasonic's UM package is simple, ultra reliable, nothing really to Google about..
