TechFaith Wins Enterprise Device Order for Latin America

BEIJING, Dec. 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- China TechFaith Wireless Communication Limited (NASDAQ: CNTF) today announced it has won a new enterprise device order for the Latin America market.  The latest win is from a customer serving the Liquid Petroleum Gas delivery industry.

TechFaith customized ruggedized mobile device is tailored to feature a 6 inch HD Gorilla Glass LCD screen and a higher capacity battery to ensure longer usage time. In addition, the device retains popular features, such as IP68 and MIL-S810G capabilities, NFC, wireless charge, barometer, compass, GPS, with acoustic sound, hi-speed Wi-Fi connectivity, and many other features.

Mr. Deyou Dong, Chief Executive Officer of TechFaith, said, "This is an exciting win for us because it showcases our ability to work with customers that require exacting technical standards and unique industry specific requirements.  In the case of the Liquid Petroleum Gas delivery industry, safety is paramount and dictates the architecture of the mobile device.  We are very happy that we were able to design a safety compliant smartphone device that does not sacrifice the features our customer required, with an attractive design.  This is just the latest win for us and it reflects the increased number of inquiries from customers worldwide.  We are confident we will be able to win more customers from different territories as we leverage our reputation and experience in worldwide market. Our team is diligently working to execute on these opportunities as we remain focused on building value for the Company and our shareholders."
