MONTREAL, NOV 19, 2014 — iBwave, the global standard for in-building wireless software and training, today announces that it has been named as one of Canada's and North America’s fastest growing technology companies in the 2014 Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ and Fast 500™ awards. This marks the fifth consecutive wins for the company which ranks 41st and 359th respectively, with a 228% in revenue growth over the past five years (from 2009 to 2013).

iBwave’s CEO, Mario Bouchard, credits the company’s success to its commitment to deliver disruptive innovation and bring value, performance and efficiency to its established customer base worldwide.

“Making the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ and Fast 500™ for the fifth consecutive time represents a remarkable achievement for iBwave, as it clearly demonstrates our sustained growth rate over the past five years,” says Bouchard. “These awards are a great tribute to the exceptional talent of our teams, in Canada as in around the world; through their hard work, determination and vision, they have re-invented themselves time and time again and pushed the technological barriers, thus propelling us to the forefront of the in-building wireless industry.”

iBwave, which has considerably enriched its product portfolio to serve the entire in-building value chain, has also gained international industry recognition for its best in class network solutions, and solidified its position as the global standard for the indoor wireless planning and design industry.

“Fast 50 companies are entrepreneurial, innovate and demonstrate leadership,” said Pascal Lamoureux, Partner and Leader for Deloitte’s Fast 50™ program. “Their commitment and achievements are critical to the growth of the Canadian technology sector.”

To qualify for the Deloitte Technology Fast 50™ ranking, companies must have been in business for at least five years, have revenues of at least $5 million, be headquartered in Canada, own proprietary technology, and conduct research and development activities in Canada. A panel of industry experts evaluate and judge companies based on four key criteria: competitive advantage; size, growth, and market attractiveness; management effectiveness and organization; and financial performance.
