market needs, and value proposition, particularly in introducing test solutions
for the LTE market.
"Over the past 12 to 18 months, Anritsu has witnessed significant
growth for its T&M business, mainly as the result of the performance of the
mobile sub-segment serving the needs of the growing smartphone and tablet
manufacturing, and LTE R&D markets. The company's growth strategy has paid
off and resulted in a stronger competitive position for Anritsu in the global
T&M industry. Its continued focus on innovation and enhancing customer
value is bound to fuel the growth of the company. Taking these factors into
consideration, Frost & Sullivan is proud to reward Anritsu with the 2012
Global Company of the Year Award," said Jessy Cavazos, Industry Director
for Frost & Sullivan's Test & Measurement group.
Frost & Sullivan used complex criteria in evaluating global test
& measurement companies. The criteria included growth strategy excellence,
growth implementation excellence, degree of innovation with products and
technologies, leadership in customer value, and leadership in market
penetration. Based upon the evaluation, Anritsu set a benchmark unmatched by
other instrumentation companies.
"Earning the Global Company of the Year Award from Frost &
Sullivan represents our commitment to delivering test solutions that meet
market needs in terms of capabilities, functionality, and cost-efficiency. It
also is indicative of the service and support we provide our customers
