| Wireless communication in Asia is growing rapidly, from cellular to 3G and beyond. In coming years, the region is expected to account for as much as 40% of global sales for certain categories of wireless products and services, including smart phones and mobile backhaul equipment. U.S.-based Powerwave Technology is among the wireless industry’s leaders, and when the company looks eastward it sees opportunity. A manufacturer of remote radio heads and power amplifers, the company expanded its footprint in Asia last year by setting up a factory in Thailand to get closer to key markets and beneft from the country’s other investment incentives. |
