LUXEMBOURG, October 20, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Rolling Wireless, the leading global supplier of cellular network access devices (NADs) for the automotive industry, is expanding its global research and development capabilities with a new European R&D centre in Hungary.

The new facility, located in central Budapest, will play a pivotal role in Rolling Wireless’ long-term software strategy.
