China's leading wireless communication module supplier Fibocom won Intel's investment in 2014 and became a notebook PC communication module supplier of HP and Lenovo in 2015. In 2018, Fibocom moved into the world's top 10 and China's top 3 ranking with outstanding shipment performance. It then expanded its reach into the 5G and in-vehicle wireless communication module markets in 2019.
