23 March 2010, Kuala Lumpur – Greenpacket, a leading developer of next generation mobile broadband and networking solutions, inked a deal with Taiwan’s WiMAX Operator, Global Mobile Corp (“Global Mobile”) to provide its Intouch Connection Management solution (Intouch CM). This deal signifies the third partnership between Greenpacket and WiMAX Operators in Taiwan - gaining the Company 75% of Taiwan’s WiMAX marketshare.

According to Senior General Manager of Greenpacket, Kelvin Lee, being strong in Taiwan helps fortifies the Company’s leading position in the Asia Pacific (APAC) market. Taiwan is a major WiMAX hub in the APAC with vigorous WiMAX deployments, and where two of the world’s six WiMAX Forum® certification labs are situated.

Lee said, “Greenpacket is currently No.1 in the APAC for the sales of our Connection Manager. We’ve set our sight to be the world’s No.1 vendor by end 2010. We believe that the APAC, with its high growth prospect, will be our springboard.”

The mobile broadband industry is rapidly developing in the APAC region with hugely populated countries such as China and India implementing mandates to boost broadband penetration. India mandates to have 20 million broadband users by 2010 and approximately 600,000 villages connected via broadband. Frost & Sullivan projects the number of WiMAX subscribers in the APAC to reach 24 million by 2014, with estimated revenues of up to USD6.4 billion as the region continues to lead the world in WiMAX innovation.... more
