ETtechPune: Technology solutions firm Cyient said on Monday that it has signed a definitive agreement to acquire Celfinet, a Portugal based wireless engineering services firm for Euro 41 million. The company provides end-to-end network planning and performance optimization services.
The acquisition will help Cyient strengthen its wireless engineering practice to support Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and enterprises in deploying their pervasive connectivity networks at scale, it said. Krishna Bodanapu, Managing Director and CEO, Cyient, said, "Cyient is helping CSPs engineer the networks of tomorrow by delivering solutions across Intelligent Infrastructure, Smart Operations, and Enterprise Network Transformation. Celfinet's deep expertise and long-standing customer relationships will further add to our capabilities as we strengthen our technology play in wireless networks for 5G rollouts. In addition, Portugal has a highly skilled engineering workforce, making it a strategic innovation hub for expanding our global delivery footprint."
