According to a recent report by information and analytics firm IHS iSuppli, carrier capex investments in 4G wireless network infrastructure have increased 132% in 2012 alone and should comprise the bulk of carrier spending starting in 2013. This is especially evident in China, as carriers invest in network upgrades to support next-generation 4G LTE and LTE-Advanced deployments. Earlier this year, GSMA forecasted China to have 639 million mobile broadband connections within the next four years, making it the largest mobile broadband market globally by 2016.
"We are excited by this opportunity to more closely support our customers in China," said Phil Richards, vice president of sales at Vitesse. "We're seeing strong acceptance of our unique IEEE1588v2 network timing technology, VeriTimeTM, as the carriers upgrade their wireless networks. This move enables Vitesse to grow accordingly as we expand our serviceable market in this region."
