In the company’s news yesterday,

“In recent years, we’ve intensified our focus on international expansion, particularly in Africa,” said Jay Whitehurst, senior vice president, Commercial Software Group, TeleCommunication Systems. “By establishing a sales office in Johannesburg, we are able to demonstrate our strong commitment to this key market and provide an opportunity to showcase our location-based services and offer customers competitive platform solutions.”

Andy has a strong background in the African mobile telecommunications industry and is a seasoned executive with a passion for innovation and finding the right solutions for customers,” stated Brian McNealy, senior vice president, global commercial sales, TeleCommunication Systems, Inc. ” His experience will serve us well as we continue to expand our wireless solutions and platforms offerings into international markets.”
