Anritsu's Ian Fraser to retire

After almost 20 years as country manager of Anritsu in Australia, communications test and measurement veteran Ian Fraser has announced that he will retire at the end of 2015.

Fraser will be replaced by Frank Karalis, who has been with Anritsu for five years. During that time, Karalis has been focused on further developing Anritsu’s business in the telecommunications sector. The company will be seeking a replacement for Karalis’s previous role in the near future.

According to country manager designate Karalis, transitions in the industry present challenges for all suppliers of technology but Anritsu is well prepared for challenges — with an array of 5G and IoT solutions.

Anritsu will be moving from its current head office in Notting Hill to new premises in nearby Mount Waverley, Victoria, in early 2016. Anritsu Corporation is this year celebrating the 120th anniversary of its foundation in 1895.
