Vitesse said its chips are being aimed at the carrier, enterprise, and internet-of-things market. Novatel Wireless Gets European Win ---- San Diego-based Novatel Wireless reported a win this morning in Europe for its wireless communications products, as part of a usage-based insurance product from Chipin B.V..

Report: Tinder Now Valued Over $5 Billion ---- Los Angeles-based Tinder, the mobile dating app developer led by Sean Rad, is now worth over $5 billion, according to a report Friday from Bloomberg.

IAC"s Barry Diller said that investors have been "banging through our doors" trying to buy a piece of Tinder.
