Winter Springs, Fla. -- Wireless Assets Holdings LLC, a technology company in the financial services and analytics industry, has opened research and development offices in Winter Springs with plans to challenge mainstream approaches of satisfying Wall Street’s rapidly-growing appetite for deep-dive industry metrics in the mobile space.
Rafael Caamano, associate director for the UCF Business Incubation Program in Winter Springs, said that’s not as bold a statement as it sounds.
