Stockholm, Sweden, October 11, 2010: Tilgin, a leading Home gateway solution provider for multiplay and next-generation broadband access, today announces a strategic second order from leading operator Telekom Srbija for its national FTTx access roll-out of remotely managed IP-based services in Serbia. Tilgin has won this new order through its partner and systems integrator Saga Beograd.
This new win is based on the strategic order announced in 2009. With this new order Tilgin will provide Telekom Srbija with 2600 units customized HG1300 Home gateways including Tilgin’s HGA software, an extended remote management software license and full support.
“With this order we are now collaborating with several of the most important telecom operators in Eastern Europe”, says Mats Victorin, CEO at Tilgin. We have won this order together with our partner and systems integrator Saga and we hope to expand our common business even further as it opens opportunities for more future business.”

With this second order Telekom Srbija takes an even stronger grip on customizing Tilgin’s solution in order to reinforce their brand and more intensely communicate with their end-users. Telekom Srbija’s brand will be visible for end-users both on the actual Home gateway and on the gift box in which it is delivered.
“With Tilgin Telekom Srbija will be able to achieve an improved customer experience,” says Mats Victorin, CEO at Tilgin. “The combination of Tilgin’s high-performing solutions, the possibility to remotely manage their end-users’ services and brand the physical units make them look more professional, help them achieve a stronger relationship with their subscribers and most of all - differentiate them from competition”.
