AccessWireless.org incorporates GARI


The annual CTIA Wireless conference is always an important event on the industry calendar. This year was no different, but what made it even more important this year was that we saw the launch of their redesigned AccessWireless.org site. AccessWireless is the CTIA's website to help people with disabilities, seniors and their families find accessible wireless products and services in the United States.

As part of the redesign, the MMF has been working with the CTIA to incorporate GARI into the site so that for the first time, consumers can "Find a Phone" by searching and comparing the accessibility features of a variety of wireless handsets, via GARI.

As we mentioned in the associated press release it is through partnerships such as this that we can expand awareness of the GARI project and assist more people to benefit from it. We hope to be able to continue developing such partnerships for the benefit of all.
