Paul Genova, CEO of Wireless Telecom Group, Inc. commented, "The Network Solutions segment experienced softness in order flow for Q1 2015 due to a slow start in capital spending by the North American carriers. We expect this softness to continue in the near term; however, we continue to be encouraged by the need for global investment to satisfy the significant broadband coverage and capacity requirements for DAS systems.  Despite a slow start in North American carrier spending in 2015, we continue to develop our product portfolio and position the Company to support the long term growth initiatives of the carrier network build out for LTE."

Mr. Genova added, "We believe our Network Solutions segment is well-positioned to take advantage of this growth and expect our order flow to improve as carrier spending returns to higher levels."

Continued Genova, "In Q1 2015, our Test and Measurement segment remained steady while recent order backlog has increased for our Boonton products."

Mr. Genova further commented, "We will continue to execute our strategic plan while remaining focused on revenue growth through improvements to our product portfolio which may include additional investments in research and development as well as pursuit of other opportunities designed to increase long term shareholder value."
