Ms. Carol Ye, Comba Telecom's Deputy General Manager, Antennas and Subsystems said, "We are delighted to be recognized as a Tier 1 supplier by EJL Wireless again, and in fact, we have maintained this position since 2012. Our success in numerous projects such as the World Soccer Tournament in Brazil, the Winter Games in Sochi and for various macro network rollouts across the globe where our equipment was deployed helped reinforce our position. This included enormous demand for the 4G TDD-LTE and FDD-LTE network rollouts from operators in China, South America, Middle East and Europe and ASEAN regions which has put us in a very strong position currently and for the years ahead."
Ms. Ye concluded, "Looking forward, we are building on this momentum by continuously improving on our manufacturing and fulfillment capabilities to ensure timely delivery of shipments. Firstly, our state-of-the-art, automated equipment for component soldering and assembly significantly improves our production efficiency, consistency, and quality. Secondly, our world-class R&D facilities enable us to develop new products and technology in response to market demands. In fact, over the next few months we will be launching a new wave of base station antennas with reduced footprint and accommodating more ports and smart features with new 4.3-10 connectors. Stay tuned for further developments."
