TELES announces co-sponsorship of Arab Telsat 2007 in Oman

The Berlin-based company, which has laid down firm foundations across the Middle East since the creation of its dedicated ME business in 2005, will be attending the event for the first time. The NGN vendor and turnkey solutions provider is co-sponsoring this year's Arab Telsat to mark roll-out of its NGN solutions to the Oman market.

According to TELES, its TELES.MGC solution is one of the most highly scalable carrier-grade platforms for new greenfield network build and network operator TDM and traditional PSTN network migration to next generation IP networks available on the market. The media gateway controller and full-featured class 4 softswitch provides operators with a "future-proof investment" paving the way forward to the converged world.

"The solution fulfils a number of diverse NGN scenarios for exceptional calls per second performance in multi-vendor environments," said TELES VP Sales (EMEA) Laszlo Bognar. "This makes it the solution of choice for those operators either seeking to build a new network, replace a common TDM backbone with NGN components or to interconnect with different carriers."

In a related development, TELES has also announced that it has become a member of the SAMENA Telecommunications Council as part of its ongoing commitment to promoting telecoms innovation collaboration and knowledge-sharing for the creation of world-class global telecoms solutions.

"We're delighted to send out a positive sign of our ongoing commitment to the ME market by becoming a SAMENA member and co-sponsoring this year's Arab Telsat," said TELES ME Regional Sales Manager Frank Koyro. "We're totally committed to this extremely important market which is why we have chosen to co-sponsor this year's event to mark the roll-out of our carrier-grade NGN solution in the Sultanate of Oman.

In addition to Teles Communication Systems, Arab Telsat 2007 will feature many other companies that directly serve the ICT and telecom industry. Among those that have already confirmed their participation in the event are exhibitors from the Sultanate of Oman, Russia, Singapore, USA, New Zealand, Germany, UK, France, Kazakhstan and the UAE.

Arab Telsat 2007 will also feature an international conference that will discuss the following major topics: Evolution to 4G Networks, Triple/Quad/Play (Convergence), and Wireless Security. The conference will be conducted by the ITU Arab Center of Excellence, which is based in Oman.

Arab Telsat 2007 is supported by Omantel and OmanMobile as diamond sponsors as well as by Nawras and Huawei Technologies as gold sponsors.
