Vitelcom Group was a Spanish manufacturer and distributor of consumer electronics, concentrating on the home entertainment and mobile phone markets. It also provides mobile phone content such as games.
Vitelcom makes DVD and VCR equipment under contract using the Funai brand name, mobile phones using the Grundig mobile name under license, plus handheld computer equipment and ADSL modems.
With more than 400 working people, Vitelcom has its own R&D Department and can take advantage of new technologies as they become available.
Primary markets are Iberia and Latin America, although Vitelcom is having some success in selling mobile handsets to a wider market, either under the Grundig brand or branded by the local mobile network operator.
During 2004 to 2005 Vitelcom was engaged in a patent infringement dispute with Nokia which was resolved before it went to court. [1][2]
