Option N.V.
Option N.V. is a publicly quoted technology company, headquartered in Leuven, Belgium. Option specializes in the design, development, production and commercialization of broadband wireless technology devices. Option's mission statement is to provide "anywhere, anytime easy access to information". Option has been awarded Ernst & Young's ‘Company of the Year’ award for 2005.〔(Press communication Ernst & Young )〕 == Products ==
Currently, the product line-up consists of connect cards (for example, the GlobeTrotter HSDPA "7.2 Ready" data card), embedded wireless modules (for laptops and/or smartphones), fixed mobile devices (for example, a USB stick providing wireless broadband access via HSPA and UMTS networks) and software. Remarkable is the GlobeTrotter Fusion+ card which was the first〔(Monday 13 February 2006 PRNewswire )〕 to integrate HSDPA/UMTS/EDGE/Wi-Fi technologies on a single data card. Option is the worldwide market leader in the wireless broadband niche (other market contestants are either significantly smaller, or don’t consider wireless broadband a core business – for example NEC Corporation), and can benefit from high margins across the whole product range. Intentions from a new Intel-Nokia partnership which would deteriorate Option's market share were short-lived and quickly dropped,〔(Nokia, Intel Plan to Collaborate On Wireless Technology WiMAX )〕〔(Intel/Nokia Deal Gets Mixed Reactions )〕〔(Nokia-Intel 3G Deal Threatens Wireless Modem Makers )〕〔(Dutch press coverage at 3GSM Barcelona, quoting an Intel spokesman )〕 proving Option's leadership as well as high entry-to-market barriers even for large corporations. Most production took place at Jabil in Bergamo, Italy, while Celestica in Kladno, Czech Republic, provides additional capacity. Nowadays, all manufacturing of devices is done in Wuxi (China). The products are marked as having been designed in Leuven, but actually are refurbished and labelled in Ireland.
