Panasonic Mobile Communications Co said Thursday that as of the end of March, it became the first mobile phone manufacturer to achieve a record delivery of 100 million units of mobile communication terminals to Japanese mobile phone carriers. These carriers include NTT DoCoMo, KDDI Corp and Softbank Mobile Corp.
Panasonic Mobile, formerly known as Matsushita Communications Industrial Co, began supplying mobile communication terminals in 1979 and delivered the first automobile-mounted cell phone, the 800MHz “TZ-801” to Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Public Corp.
