Citrix said Thursday that it has arranged to buy privately held Bytemobile for a mystery sum to get leverage in the global mobile data and video infrastructure market as LTE rolls out.
Bytemobile makes data and video optimization solutions for mobile network operators.
Citrix said the acquisition, expected to close in Q3, would give it a strategic foothold in the core infrastructure of more than 130 mobile operators in 60 countries around the world, extending its market reach, and enhancing its broader strategy of powering mobile “workstyles” and cloud services.
