TeleNav has also been named a finalist in Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Silicon Valley, a ranking of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in the region. Rankings are based on the percentage fiscal year revenue growth over five years from 2002-2006.

We are also providing GPS services to thousands of companies through our enterprise LBS application which includes mobile tracking, dispatching and navigation.” “The wireless industry is on the cusp of great changes as new technologies such as WiMax and 3G upend the market, and yet we are only scratching the surface of what is possible,” said Phil Asmundson, vice chairman, US Technology, Media & Entertainment and Telecommunications, Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. “Our first-ever Deloitte Wireless Fast 50 awards underscore the potential for both innovation and business performance in this evolving sector. These companies have achieved sustained growth while navigating constant change, and are beacons of a promising future for the wireless industry.” To qualify for the Wireless Fast 50, companies must have had operating revenues of at least $50,000 in 2002 and $5,000,000 in 2006. They must own proprietary wireless technology or proprietary wireless intellectual property that contributes to a significant portion of their operating revenues, or devote a significant proportion of revenues to the research and development of wireless technology. Using other companies’ wireless technology or intellectual property in a unique way does not qualify.
