BEIJING, Dec. 6, 2010 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- Telestone Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: TSTC) ("Telestone" or the "Company"), a leading developer and provider of telecommunications local access networks in China, today announced that it has retained CCG Investor Relations ("CCG") to design and execute its investor relations campaign.

Telestone has historically developed network-access equipment for the wireless communications market in China, offering equipment, project design, and after-sales services customized to meet customer requirements. The Company has developed close business relationships with the three major Chinese wireless carriers--China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom (the "Big 3")--as its main customers. Since 2006, Telestone has focused on expanding its international presence. The Company has developed a proprietary technology for aggregating wireless and wireline voice, data, and video traffic on a single optical fiber called Wireless Fiber-Optic Distribution System (WFDS), which it is deploying in China and also internationally.

China is the world's largest mobile market, with over 700 million subscribers. The Big 3 Chinese wireless carriers have invested about $21 billion rolling out their 3G mobile networks starting last year and have cooperated with handset manufacturers to promote the expansion of their 3G networks. China currently has about 25 million users of 3G mobile wireless technology, and the number of subscribers continues to expand. The Chinese telecom restructuring and the issuance of 3G licenses in China are expected to require an investment of approximately $70 billion from 2009 to 2011.

"We are excited about the large and new growing opportunity in the China wireless communications market. With our leading-edge R&D capabilities, experienced engineering team, and proprietary WFDS technology, we are extremely optimistic about increasing our presence in the China and international markets," said Mr. Daqing Han, Telestone's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We look forward to working with CCG to communicate our product strategy and international expansion, particularly for our WFDS solution, as well as our financial performance, to investors."

"China's wireless communication market is undergoing unprecedented changes. The Chinese telecom restructuring, the issuance of 3G licenses, as well as the expected integration of telecommunications, TV, and radio broadcasting and Internet access into one unified network, have presented a slew of opportunities for the deployment of telecommunication infrastructure, where Telestone has established a solid foothold. The Company, supported by its proven track record with China's major wireless carriers, as well as both local and national government and industry authorities, is well positioned to capitalize on this fast-growing industry," said Crocker Coulson, President of CCG Investor Relations.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, Telestone's revenue increased by 82.1% year on year to $70.9 million. GAAP net income increased by 71.7% to $12.6 million from the same period of 2009. The Company recently reaffirmed its guidance of $129.4 million in revenue, $22.9 million in net income and $2.17 in EPS for 2010.
