Tilgin delivers IP home gateways to wilhelm.tel for German VoIP services

Stockholm, August 16, 2007: Tilgin, a leading provider of customer premises
equipment (CPE) for triple play and IMS (IP Multimedia Subsystems) based
services, has received an initial order worth around 100,000 Euros from German
triple play provider wilhelm.tel to provide its CPE equipment to the city of
Norderstedt, Hamburg and surrounding areas fiber wideband network (FTTH).

The order represents the first commercial sale for Tilgin's Vood 1200 next-gen
gateway, which will function as an integrated part of the wilhelm.tel fiber
network. The order also includes Tilgin to provide wilhelm.tel with its VCM
centralized remote management system to maximize the efficiency of the
integrated system and enable wilhelm.tel to offer a wide range of managed IP
based services to its current subscriber base of approximately 30.000 homes in
the Hamburg region. The first of these will be an advanced IP-telephony service
(VoIP over IMS), building on Tilgin home gateways and the Ericsson IMS solution
IMT (IMS Multimedia Telephony). 

The integration of the Tilgin solutions, which include technical support and
professional services, into the wilhelm.tel system has reached final test
stages. Test groups of wilhelm.tel users are already testing the Tilgin CPE in
real home environments, with large field trials planned in September 2007
alongside a commercial launch of the new wilhelm.tel VoIP service. wilhelm.tel
expects a large-scale deployment of their new VoIP service to be finalized by
the end of 2007.

wilhelm.tel is part of the Stadtwerke Nordenstedt, a publicly owned utility
company providing gas, water, electrical power, district heating and regional
public transportation to consumers in the Hamburg region. The new order enables
wilhelm.tel to leverage on already existing infrastructure in the region to
offer internet access and IP-telephony services.

Theo Weirich, CEO/Geschäftsführer at wilhelm.tel GmbH says about the deal:
“The decision to implement the Tilgin solution is a key part of the end-to-end
solution we are implementing with Ericsson's IMS solution. Tilgin's combination
of technical expertise and solution-based approach offered more than just a ‘box
installation' service. The combination of the advanced and centralized remote
management system and Ericsson's IMT solution allows us to provide a powerful
managed service environment for our customers. The comprehensive support Tilgin
offered from presales through to product evaluation was also a significant
factor in our decision.”

“Because our services are delivered over a fiber network we need a supplier who
can deliver very high performance products. Tilgin meets this need and also
provides us with a remote management system that can support the TR-069
functionality.”

Ola Berglund, CEO at Tilgin, adds:
“wilhelm.tel's choice of Tilgin's gateways confirms our leading edge in a market
where voice quality is critical. Germany is a key market for us and we have made
a point of adapting all our products to local requirements. We see this deal as
further justification for the recent launch of a dedicated sales representation
in Germany.”

Tilgin recently launched its new ISDN home gateway and IAD products designed
specifically to meet the needs of the German market.
