BATM Advanced Communications
Contract to Supply Access Platforms for 4G Deployment in USA
BATM Advanced Communications Limited ("BATM" or the "Company"), (LSE: BVC), a leading designer and producer of broadband data and telecom systems, is pleased to announce that it has completed a series of rigorous trials over the past year and received its first orders to provide the Carrier Ethernet Access Platforms for a major 4G project in the USA. The project is the first of its kind in the USA.
Whilst the initial value of the order is expected to be several hundreds of thousands of US dollars, the Company expects these orders to grow significantly as the project evolves. The award also provides confidence for similar trials, currently underway in other geographical areas.
BATM is holding its Annual General Meeting on Monday 16th June, when the Company will provide an update on its trading for the current year.
Dr Zvi Marom, Chief Executive of BATM, commented:
"4G is clearly the next step in the evolution of the telecoms industry. We believe that this is the first project of its kind, anywhere in the world, and our involvement is further evidence of the quality of our technology."
