Mobile Tornado Group plc
('Mobile Tornado' or 'the Company')
Indonesian Contract Win
Mobile Tornado Group plc the instant mobile messaging service provider
specialising in Push-To-Talk services ('PTT') today announces its first order
from Indonesia. The order, for 30,000 Mobile phone user licences and 85,000 PC
user licences, has been placed by Elektrindo Nusantara..
Elektrindo Nusantara provides telecommunications services throughout the
Indonesian islands and has reached an agreement with Mobile-8, an Indonesian
mobile operator, to start offering PTT services to clients across the region.
Under the terms of its deal with Elektrindo Nusantara, Mobile Tornado is
responsible for supplying software licences to its patented IPRS Push-to-Talk
technology platform, as well as procuring the associated third party hardware
and software with which IPRS works. Mobile Tornado will also provide
professional services to help install and configure the system in Indonesia. The
service is due to be launched in Autumn 2006.
Temi Efendi, of Elektrindo Nusantara said:
'Mobile Tornado's solution is a cost- effective way of providing Radio
Trunking style communications across the Indonesian islands, yet it delivers
much wider range of advanced functionalities. It also supports PC users as well
as Mobile Phone users on the go. The number of islands and the distances
involved makes building traditional radio-based services uneconomic- by using
existing mobile networks, we are enabling many mobile voice and data
applications for the public and organisations in Indonesia . It will become a
new style of chatting and communication between Indonesian people'
John Swingewood, Chairman of Mobile Tornado, said:
'We are delighted to be working with Elektrindo Nusantara on this project, our
proven IPRS technology is network independent and works on GSM/GPRS, CDMA and
WiFi networks and we inter-work with the widest range of existing handsets -
this contract is a good illustration of the additional functionality and
revenues we can bring to operators of existing mobile networks.'
