"We are very active in increasing our established routes to market worldwide," said Viswat.

"With our extremely broad and diverse catalogue of over 3,500 products, across mobile platforms including Java, Android, iOS, Blackberry etc, we believe we are well positioned to offer a complete solution to an operator's needs."

Together with newly appointed sales manager Tony Fitzgerald, Viswat will be at Mobile World Congress to meet with potential distribution/channel partners.
