"The technologies we offer are based on industry standards supporting
over 2.6 billion mobile subscribers worldwide. As the growth of that
subscriber base continues unabated, we have seen a rise in smaller, more
nimble operators who cater to previously underserved markets," said Amit
Malhotra, Vice President of Marketing, Tecore Networks. "These operators can
include new licensees, rural and remote carriers, MVNOs and MVNEs, and a
range of specialized or private networks. We believe these operators will
fuel further adoption of mobile communications, and we invite them to apply
for the chance to accelerate their market entry."
