Because GSMA is one of the industry's largest trade shows, and because of the show's focus on mobile, attendance is typically quite high, with everyone seeking to take a pulse of the latest technology innovations in mobile communications. For TechFaith, we are excited to have one of our strongest product line-ups ever. Our team has worked hard to ready our 4G/LTE models. We think there is considerable potential for us to build 4G/LTE volumes given our proven track-record, and large development and manufacturing scale. This would represent incremental volume for us. We also continue to see active interest in our 3G models, given the global 3G footprint and carrier support.
