Rennes, 28^th November 2007 – Astellia, France’s specialist in mobile network optimisation systems, received the Special Award in the Deloitte Fast 50 for Western France. Astellia finished in 6^th position in the list of companies in Western France (30 départements*) in the 7^th year of the “Deloitte Technology Fast 50”, which rewards companies that have achieved the highest growth over the last five years.

The Special Award given to Astellia is based on principles other than the merely quantitative criterion of growth in turnover. It rewards Astellia for its strong, rapid move into the international market, the relevance of its technology and the values upheld by its co-founders, values which are guiding the company in its expansion.

 

Astellia was set up in 2003 by pooling telecom expertise i.e. reliable integrated measurement technologies (hardware) and large-capacity detailed testing tools (software). The company is maximising the quality and efficiency of mobile networks for more than 130 telcos worldwide. Faced with the challenges of loyalty and the exponential growth in the number of subscribers, mobile phone operators are turning to Astellia to manage the efficiency of their networks, generally or on an ad hoc basis. Over the last five financial years, Astellia has enjoyed growth of 241.43%.

 

The “Deloitte Technology Fast 50” award in France is organised jointly with Euronext, Croissance Plus and OSEO. Its aim is to promote companies that have shown their ability to develop steadily and sustainably in a technological environment undergoing constant change.
