Wireless Logix to accelerate India operations
MUMBAI: US-based Wi-Fi solutions provider Abbas Sadriwalla’s Wireless Logix Group expects to increase India revenues to $ 5 million over the next 12 months. Sadriwalla has initiated a big push into the south Asian region, which he believes is now ready for rapid Wi-Fi adoption.
Sadriwallas group of 7 companies offer a full bouquet of Wi-Fi technologies and solutions that help enterprise, telecoms and Internet Service Provider (ISP) customers to increase operational efficiencies, add value to their offerings and tap new market segments.
Comments Sadriwalla, These are very exciting times for India, any which way you look at it. And we want to be a part of this excitement. We have several innovative and robust technologies which are appropriate for the Indian market, and we are committed to investing in the opportunity here, both for our own long term growth and also for the social and economic impact we can have on India. Our video-conferencing technology, our VoIP solutions, our work flow management solutions, and our wide range of asset management solutions, all of which work off wireless platforms, could potentially change the way education and health care are delivered, the way people communicate, the way assets of all kinds are tracked and managed, and the way work is managed. These technologies speak to some of Indias most pressing social and economic issues and they hold out the possibility of rapid change, thus helping India to leap frog to higher levels of development.
The Wireless Logix Group made its first foray into India in early 2004, and has since established a beach head in the shipping industry with a proof-of-concept installation of a low cost wireless asset management solution inside the Mumbai port. Discussions are currently underway with several Indian companies with a view to forging partnerships to tap opportunities in India and the Asian region.
We are seeking to buy into local companies and also forge reseller relations with qualified vendors here. Our discussions are at an advanced stage and we are confident that we will be able to push aggressively into the Indian and Asian market with these partnerships, adds Sadriwalla.
The company posted revenues of USD 20 million (Rs 900 million) in 2004, and is ranked as a leader in the North American Wi-Fi technology space, informs an official release.
