Perez-Fernandez, Ph.D., senior equity analyst, ThinkEquity Partners. "Analyzing the direction, operations, and strategies of the major players in the market today, and identifying the trends of players of tomorrow is core to the value of this index.

The TEP Wireless Index is being released in conjunction with the initial phase of ThinkEquity Partners' wireless strategy that will provide quantitative valuations and encompass deep understanding of technology and trends. Both the new Wireless Industry Updates and the TEP Wireless Index will draw on the extensive knowledge of the members of the ThinkEquity wireless research team.
