“In Q3/08 management began a process of right-sizing the company’s operations to restore Tranzeo to be cash flow positive and profitable before fiscal year-end in order to gear up for dynamic expansion through WiMAX in the coming year. Tranzeo has made a significant and bold commitment to expand its proven Wi-Fi product portfolio with the addition of a robust WiMAX product line. This strategy has been based on management’s belief that there is a tremendous business case for WiMAX infrastructure worldwide, particularly for the provider that develops a cost-competitive customer-premise technology that is also compatible with the leading base station technologies. WiMAX deployments are just beginning to reach critical mass around the world and by basing our solution on a chipset with proven capability to be deployed for existing fixed requirements, as well as evolving mobile and next generation standards, Tranzeo is future proofing our investments. ” said Jim Tocher, President and CEO of Tranzeo.
