NuMobile was been selected by China Crescent to provide a key proprietary software component for the special purpose Wi-Fi communication device. The Japanese customer has committed to purchase 10,000 of the custom Wi-Fi devices for a total of $160 million over the next three years, subject to the performance of the first 100 sets.
