Shares of Ottawa networking firm DragonWave (TSX: DWI; NASDAQ: DRWI) more than doubled in value on the NASDAQ Thursday, hours after the company said its technology will be used in Sprint’s network densification efforts.
DragonWave ended the day on the NASDAQ up more than 94 per cent to $4.29.
The company, which sells microwave networking equipment to wireless companies, saw its share price plungeearlier this month after it reported a drastic decline in second-quarter revenues.
