“With the launch of WorldGate’s new digital video phone platform, we will be taking WorldGate quality to a whole new level,” said George E.

And, we are confident that Kenmec, a world-class electronics contract manufacturer, will enable us to meet the high level of quality and reliability that our customers have come to expect.”

WorldGate introduced its first digital video phone in 2005. It quickly became recognized as the standard by which all other consumer digital video phones are judged and was awarded a patent for its innovative approach.

Designed for consumers with broadband Internet access, WorldGate’s high quality, full-motion synchronized picture and voice transmission will be delivered without the delays or distortion usually associated with other video calling devices. The seven-inch, high-resolution LCD digital screen will allow users to view real-time video for true-to-life conversations that users can see and hear.

“Kenmec is excited to work with WorldGate to manufacture their next generation digital video phone,” said Shun Fa Nan, Chief Executive Officer of Kenmec. “WorldGate is recognized as a market leader in video communications and it brings us great pleasure to work with their highly experienced team to bring their next generation digital video phone and the stunning, real-time video experience it will deliver to the marketplace.”
