A strong India presence
Array intends to work with telecom service providers in the country, and already has a partnership with Mumbai-based Reliance Jio Infocomm. 

Zhao said that India’s business contributes to nearly 20 per cent to the firm’s overall business, and is also looking to increase the country’s headcount by fivefold largely in the research and development (R&D) domain.

The new centre would enable Array Networks to create custom-made solutions for Indian enterprise customers as well as to launch newer products in a shorter time span.
