Dallas, TX – December 13, 2017 – Zinwave, a global provider of wideband distributed network solutions for in-building wireless, today announced that it has named James Martin as Vice President of Operations. Mr. Martin will be responsible for day to day operations, supply chain, contract manufacture partnerships as well as strategic operational initiatives and continuous improvement within the wireless business at Zinwave.
“Zinwave’s distributed wireless solutions offer the highest performance with the lowest total cost of ownership, and sales are accelerating quickly,” said Martin. “I look forward to keeping the production side of the business running at top speed as our market expands.”
Prior to joining Zinwave, Mr. Martin was Sr. Manager at TE Connectivity (formerly ADC/LGC Wireless) for more than 16 years. Martin’s leadership helped TE Connectivity emerges as a top-tier DAS manufacturer in the wireless space.

During this time, he was also instrumental in defining the first small cell systems designed and deployed by HNS.
“Zinwave has a class-leading technology for in-building cellular and public safety wireless, but we also need to make sure that our products are produced to the highest standards,” said Scott Willis, president and CEO at Zinwave. “James’ extensive experience in the wireless space will help us ensure that our business processes are as outstanding as our distributed wireless solutions.”
