174 056 EasyConnect activations in November
(Oslo, December 10, 2009) Birdstep Technology ASA reported 174 056 EasyConnect activations in November 2009.
174 056 new customers activated their EasyConnect software in November 2009 compared to 142 305 in November 2008.
The November activation figure represents an 8 percent sequential decline compared to 189 914 activations in October 2009. The decline was experienced across the customer base, reflecting the volatility in the monthly sequential activation development. However, Birdstep Technology experiences a continuous high market activity and reiterates the positive underlying growth outlook for EasyConnect.
The activations apply to EasyConnect Go and EasyConnect Advanced products, Birdstep Technology’s solutions for mobile broadband connectivity through USB modems. Birdstep Technology’s embedded solution for laptop manufacturers, EasyConnect Inside, is not included in the figures.
Birdstep Technology reports EasyConnect Go and Advanced activations monthly, in order to provide increased transparency to the financial market. The report is disclosed the 10th every month or the first trading day following the 10th.
