June 16, 2007, Singapore – NGC Systems Sdn Bhd, a 3G mobile application and broadband telephony solution developer, scored top honor for its advanced 3G video streaming application, Genico® 3G Pocketsports, at the 2007 Frost & Sullivan Asia Pacific ICT Awards.

Genico® 3G Pocketsports was recognized as the 2007 Most Promising Innovative Application/Product of the Year in Asia Pacific. NGC Systems president Owen Chen Chee Onn received the honor at the awards banquet held in Singapore yesterday evening.

He added sports is a very popular mobile theme and Genico® 3G Pocketsports has arrived at the right time when mobile telecommunication operators are now seeking applications which can effectively increase 3G adoption rate with their subscribers. “As Asia Pacific’s Most Promising Innovative Application of the Year, Genico® 3G Pocketsports sets a high standard and represents an exciting example of mobile applications that 3G mobile subscribers can expect,” he said.
