Networks In Motion Named One of Orange County's Top Five Fastest Growing Private Companies

ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Oct. 16 /PRNewswire/ -- Networks In Motion, the award-winning wireless navigation, hyper-local search and location-based services (LBS) company, that makes anywhere you go feel like home, today announced that they have been named one of the top five fastest growing private companies by the OC Business Journal. The award recognizes the impressive growth NIM has had over the last two years, which included launching Gokivo, the first voice guided turn-by-turn app on the iPhone.

In what was a down year for the economy, NIM was able to dramatically increase revenue and continue to grow their market share. NIM has also signed deals with new carriers, such as MetroPCS, Cricket and Virgin Mobile, and has continued to provide innovative turn-by-turn navigation for carrier partners like Verizon and their VZ Navigator product. The launch of NIM's first branded product, Gokivo, was also a huge stepping stone for the company, and allowed them to bring their top of the line turn-by-turn navigation to the iPhone platform.

"Orange County has a thriving business scene, and it is a great accomplishment to be named one of the five fastest growing private companies," said Doug Antone, President and CEO of Networks In Motion. "This award is a credit to the hard work that has been put in by the NIM team, and we are thrilled to be recognized for the innovative work that we are doing. We will continue to push the limits of turn-by-turn navigation in the coming years."

The award was given out last night at an event put on by the OC Business Journal. Members of the NIM exec team were on hand to accept the award.
