Boston, MA, October 4, 2017 – Zoom Telephonics, Inc. (“Zoom”) (OTCQB: ZMTP), the exclusive producer of MOTOROLA cable modems and gateways, today announced that the Company expects revenue for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017 to exceed $8 million.
The Company expects to announce full third quarter financial results on October 31, 2017.
Frank Manning, President and CEO of Zoom Telephonics, stated, “We have seen significant sales growth since we shipped our first Motorola brand cable modem in January 2016, and revenue for the third quarter is expected to exceed $8 million. This is particularly notable given that revenue for the first half of 2017 totaled $12 million, up 79% over the first half of 2016. We now produce seven Motorola brand modems and gateways, one Motorola router, and one Motorola range extender. We have grown our cable modem share dramatically, and we are excited about the new Motorola brand cable modems and gateways, DSL gateways, routers, MoCA Adapters, and cellular products that we will be shipping in coming months. I look forward to providing additional details when we release full 3Q17 results at the end of this month.”
