Bytemobile, Inc., the global leader in mobile internet solutions for network operators, has been named to Deloitte’s Wireless Fast 50 Program, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing wireless companies, and to its Silicon Valley Technology Fast 50 Program for Internet, Media & Entertainment and Communication companies.
Deloitte & Touche USA LLP, one of the nation’s leading professional services organizations, compiles both rankings based on companies’ revenue growth percentage over five fiscal years, from 2002 to 2006.
“The wireless industry is on the cusp of great changes as new technologies such as WiMAX and 3G upend the market — and yet, we are only scratching the surface of what is possible,” said Phil Asmundson, vice chairman, U.S. Technology, Media & Entertainment and Telecommunications, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. “Our first-ever Deloitte Wireless Fast 50 awards underscore the potential for both innovation and business performance in this evolving sector. These companies have achieved sustained growth while navigating constant change, and are beacons of a promising future for the wireless industry.”
To qualify for the Wireless Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2002 and at least $5,000,000 in 2006. They must own proprietary wireless technology or proprietary wireless intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of their operating revenues or devote a significant portion of their revenues to the research and development of wireless technology. Using other companies’ wireless technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.
Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 Program is a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies in the region. To qualify for this program, companies must meet the same criteria in their respective technology segments that apply to the Wireless Fast 50 ranking and be headquartered in Silicon Valley.
Companies from the Wireless Fast 50 Program and the 16 regional Technology Fast 50 Programs in the United States and Canada are automatically entered in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500 Program, which ranks North America’s top 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, and life sciences companies.
