Tilgin Wins Mystery Middle East Order

by Alan Harten

Tilgin who are providers of customer premises equipment (CPE) solutions for multiplay and next-generation broadband services, have won a mystery order for High Definition IPTV technology from what they refer to as “a major incumbent telecom operator in the Middle East”, although they have not elaborated on which company they are referring to or which country or countries they operate in.

This is apparently not a full on implementation but a field trial order which is part of the operator’s initial IPTV deployment and IPTV technology evaluation.

The value of this initial order is therefore limited although Tilgin states that it believes that their client will later implement a full scale roll out of the system to a potential 850,000 broadband subscribers.

Ola Berglund, CEO at Tilgin, stated the company’s opinion that the Middle East is leapfrogging several generations of technology to invest in the very latest available equipment.

Tilgin will be responsible for the delivery of its PVR enabled High Definition Mood 400 IPTV set-top-box solution and management software.

Tilgin’s mystery client is apparently fully committed to premium quality multimedia services for its broadband customers.

Tilgin makes this information public in accordance with the Swedish Securities Exchange Act and/or in accordance with the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority.
