HT Mostar Chooses Sylantro Systems as Strategic VoIP Partner

Bosnia-Herzegovina’s HT Mostar to Launch Hosted VoIP Solutions for Businesses

Sylantro Systems, provider of the leading Multiplay Application Feature Server platform that enables rich IP communication services, today announced it will provide hosted VoIP solutions to HT Mostar, one of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s incumbent telecom operators partially owned by Croatian Telecom, part of a Deutsche Telekom group.

Beginning in Q3 2008, HT Mostar will launch VoIP services based on Sylantro’s renowned Synergy Multiplay Application Feature Server (AFS). HT Mostar will also utilize Sylantro’s ComMarketing™ program, under which Sylantro will work with HT’s sales and marketing departments to develop processes for strategy, provisioning, market launch and service delivery, highlighting Sylantro’s end-to-end solutions-oriented approach to customer engagements.

HT Mostar, one of three incumbent tier-one operators, will begin a phased rollout in its region. The deployment will initially focus on finance and other key vertical markets. HT will then offer VoIP services to the nation’s other two regions via a new nationwide MPLS network built in conjunction with Combis, Sylantro’s strategic VAR in the Adriatic region and a leading integrator and technology solutions provider. The HT Mostar deal is a milestone for the national telecom industry and for the country at large, as it demonstrates a post-war return to cross-regional commerce and integration.

“After a public formal tender process, HT Mostar selected Sylantro based on its technical and commercial superiority,” said Josef Thurriegl, board member of HT Mostar. “The company has a proven track record with tier-one carriers and excellent local presence with its partner Combis. A key Sylantro differentiator was its ComMarketing go-to-market best practices program, which ensures that the relationship is not just a technology purchase-and-sale, but a long-term commitment to helping us turn the technology into a commercial success.”

Sylantro’s hosted, multi-tenant VoIP solution allows HT Mostar to offer a range of hosted telephony capabilities from basic IP Trunking to full featured Hosted PBX capabilities and voice enabled desktop collaboration without the Capex and administrative overhead associated with traditional on-premises PBX systems. A key highlight of the Sylantro solution includes self-service administrator portals for businesses to configure and manage their users and services in minutes with the click of a button.

“We are very pleased to begin the HT Mostar deployment,” said Marco Limena, CEO of Sylantro. “With Sylantro’s platform and HT’s nationwide MPLS network, HT will be the first carrier to offer uniform business solutions throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina over a wide variety of network infrastructures.”

“This win in an emerging IP communications market is another validation of the value and fit of our multiplay platform and our focus on end-to-end solutions, including our ComMarketing program,” said Mark Jurkevich, Sylantro’s Area Vice President and General Manger for CEE, CIS and ME.
