Dragonwave sees growing demand in India

by Kelly Hill

Microwave radio vendor DragonWave said it is making progress and seeing particularly strong growth in India, but its net loss widened year-over-year.

The company’s results for the quarter ended Aug. 31 included revenue of $25.5 million, up from $24.5 million sequentially but down from the $44.2 million it made in the same period last year. DragonWave reported a net loss for the period of $10.5 million, growing from the $1.1 million loss a year ago and the $6.6 million loss in the previous quarter.

Revenue from Nokia Solutions and Networks accounted for 61% of Dragonwave’s revenue for the quarter.

DragonWave said it is “experiencing strong activity” in India, including new orders and being shortlisted as a supplier in a large greenfield build. The company also said it has received an initial order from a major North American carrier’s new project.

“I am pleased that we are making progress on multiple fronts,” said DragonWave President and CEO Peter Allen.

The company added about $23.5 million in cash to its balance sheets through an equity offering that closed in late September.
