We expect positive momentum to continue and are keenly focused on executing on our three key growth strategies: launching innovative wireless products, increasing market share by providing more components of the wireless ecosystem, and expanding and leveraging distribution channels."

Neumann continued, "We recently launched a 10-in-1 combination antenna designed to perform in harsh conditions and therefore useful in numerous end markets.

Finally, we have made significant advances in expanding our distribution channels globally, building on our strong foundation in the Americas with the acquisition of Smarteq, that is now contributing products for distribution in both our European and American channels.
