Growth Opportunities Spur BSQUARE (BSQR) Investment in Asia

BELLEVUE, WA — (Marketwire) — 12/15/10 — BSQUARE Corporation (NASDAQ: BSQR), a leading enabler of smart, connected devices, today announced the expansion of sales, support and development services in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region.

BSQUARE has expanded its sales and support coverage and development capacity in APAC with new employees in Korea and Shenzhen, China and an increase in the size of its Development Center in Taipei, Taiwan. The company plans to continue its regional expansion with the addition of Shanghai-based sales executives in the coming months and the opening of an additional Development Center in mainland China during the first half of 2011.

“The expansion of our sales, support and development footprint in Asia is being driven by strong customer demand for our software and services, particularly testing services,” said Brian Crowley, chief executive officer, BSQUARE Corporation. “Asia is a growing center of manufacturing and design for smart, connected devices and our expanded presence will provide customers with easy access to embedded software solutions and application development expertise.”

“With the rapid rise of China as a major technology force, it makes sense for BSQUARE to broaden its presence in APAC,” said Tony Chiang, vice president and general manager, Asia Pacific region for BSQUARE. “We are excited to be enabling our customers’ innovative software solutions and smart, connected devices.”

BSQUARE has experienced robust growth in the APAC region. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the company increased its number of APAC customer accounts by more than 100% and its total revenue by roughly 400% compared to the prior year. To support the company’s expanded international presence, BSQUARE has been recruiting top engineers to provide software solutions for several key, new customers in the APAC region. Additionally, staff at the company’s new sales locations will enable BSQUARE to broaden its reach into the rapidly growing mobile application development market, delivering improved innovation and time-to-market for quality devices.
