Sagem MYX-7 Prepay PAY & GO Mobile Phone

Product Information

Sagem Wireless partnered with innovative technology companies to integrate third party technology into its devices. As part of the Sofinnova Partners group of companies, Sagem Wireless also had access to the skills and expertise of other businesses in the group. Between 1995-2000, the Mobile Phones business units was driven by Guy Rouanne and Radiocommunications Systems and Radiocommunications Networks business units were led by Thierry Buffenoir. In 2001, Buffenoir became chairman and chief executive officer of Sagem Mobile, the mobile phone operating division of Sagem. Under Buffenoir’s leadership, by 2004 Sagem Mobile had grown to become a top 5 European handset manufacturer and market leader in France, its home market. At the time, Jochen Zeitz, the Chairman and CEO of Puma, stated that the Puma Phone “was consistent with everything Puma stands for – joy, environmental responsibility and individuality”. He went on to note that he saw the device as a way to “directly connect with the Puma community through services such as live sports feeds and m-commerce”. In October 2009, Sagem Wireless announced a licensing agreement with PUMA to deliver a branded mobile phone that is "completely tailor designed, from the inside out", adding the design will reflect "the DNA of the PUMA brand".

In 1925, Marcel Môme created the Société d’Applications Générale d’Electricité et de Mécanique (Sagem), whose initial business was primarily mechanical engineering. Sagem diversified its business, for instance by making precision equipment for the French navy. The Société d’Applications Téléphoniques was created in 1932 and taken over by Sagem in 1939, as the Société Anonyme de Télécommunications (SAT), making it a major player in telephony and telecom business. The Puma Phone was planned to be available through mobile network operators and selected mobile phone retailers and the Puma online store from June 2010 with a retail price of €399. The primary aim of the device was to bring Puma’s brand personality to life via a mobile phone. It was targeted at 18 to 30-year-olds who led an active lifestyle while being designed to reflect the DNA of the Puma brand. With a resistive (rather than capacitive) touch screen and no Wi-Fi, it soon became clear the Puma phone was going to struggle to be competitive with the price point it was targeting. People working on the project at the time also felt it was too innovative in many areas and consequently too costly to produce. This limited sales once it was commercially available and the poor sell-out led to the project's demise.The Puma Phone was announced at the annual Mobile World Congress event in Spain in February 2010 and was one of the unexpected highlights of the show. It was manufactured by Sagem Wireless, which has been divested to venture capital firm Sofinnova in August 2008. There was some surprise that Sagem Wireless was offering a new phone as many people had incorrectly assumed it was no longer in business. In fact, the company has been quietly working with a number of well-known brands to develop devices and the Puma phone was the first example of this. The new company was named MobiWire SAS. MobiWire SAS is now designing and delivering mobile phones as an original design manufacturer (ODM).

"Sagem of France sells 40 upgraded Mirages to Pakistan". Flight International. Founded in 1924, SAGEM initially specialised in mechanical engineering and tool manufacture. Early in its existence, it entered the defense sector. The company made a foray into telecommunications in 1942 with the first telex printer, although it was principally a defense-oriented company during the first few decades of the post-war era. This majority focus upon the military sector continued for several years after the departure of Marcel Môme, SAGEM's founder. Optronics and defense (imagers, infrared and light-intensifying cameras, sights, periscopes, gyrostabilized pods, cryptology, UAV systems, etc.); Although primarily a defense contractor in the post-war era, SAGEM also developed telecommunications products, including a range of telex machines and becoming the world's number two manufacturer in the category. [1] SAGEM's management emphasised the importance of research and development, enabling it to capture a leading role in communications technology during the early 1980s, when it released the next generation of screen-based telex machines.

At the Mobile World Congress 2010, Sagem Wireless unveiled two new devices – the PUMA PHONE [6] and the CosyPhone. [7] During 1985, Robert Labarre was in the process of transferring control of SAGEM to Pierre Faurre [ fr] following a management buyout. [1] Seeing the potential of the telecommunications sector, Faurre reshaped SAGEM into one of Europe's leading high-technology specialists. This shift was motivated by declining defence budgets across Europe and the Soviet Union's liberalisation, making involvement in the defence sector less attractive. [1] During the late 1980s, the firm released several innovations in the fax machine market, including the first machine capable of printing on standard paper (instead of expensive thermal paper) and the first home consumer units. During this era, SAGEM experienced rising sales, topping the FFr 10 billion mark in 1990. Communications products comprised a growing share of the company's revenues over the defense sector. [1] During the 1980s, SAGEM's distributed Japanese fax machines while developing its own technology. Over the traditional defense sector, such products accounted for a growing share of SAGEM's revenues. During the 1990s, the firm entered the automotive systems sector. Starting in 1997, the company produced GSM telephones for the French market, at one point holding roughly 50% of it.

In 1996, Sagem invented a consumer fax machine, the “Phonefax”, and in 1995 GSM mobile phone activity was set up by Olivier DEMOLY for the international sales and Philippe Lucas for the French Market and the first satellite TV set-top box. Just one year later, Snecma took full control of its subsidiary SEP (Société Européenne de Propulsion), marking its entry in the space propulsion market. SFIM Industries were acquired by Sagem in 1999 and, together with other subsidiaries, consolidated as SAGEM operating divisions in 2000.Its focus on research helped SAGEM respond to the arrival of fax machines, which originated in Japan and brought an abrupt end to the monopoly of the costly telex machine. [1] Rather than responding with the costly development of its own product to challenge this new technology, while eager to maintain its prominent position in the telecommunications sector, SAGEM adopted another approach by negotiating a distribution agreement with Japanese electronics business Murata. [1] Under this deal, SAGEM marketed several of Murata's fax machines in Europe, and adapted these machines to the requirements of the European market. It used the distribution arrangement to assist development of SAGEM's own fax machine technology and subsequently entered the market with its own products.
