Italtel, solutions provider of NGN (Next - Generation Network) networks, and AMT-Group, Russian system integrator, have announced that they signed a partnership agreement for the joint promotion, realization and support of NGN solutions based on Italtel i-MSS multiservice platform. Italtel has been working successfully for many years in the Russian market adopting a direct sale model. With this agreement, the company starts to work in Russia also on a partnership model in order to enlarge its presence on the market. AMT-Group is the first among Russian system integrators to become Italtel partner.

The NGN solutions, based on i-MSS (Italtel Multi Service Solutions) platform, will allow Telecom Operators and Large Enterprises to offer Class 4 and Class 5 solutions that support multimedia convergent Next - Generation Services (NGS) such as Voice transfer, Data and Video over IP, Unified Messaging.

"For companies like Italtel, with a proven technical and commercial leadership, the  partnership model is the best way to be successful in a diversified market like the Russian one with over 1,500 Tier 2 and Tier 3 telephone operators currently in operation," said Antonio Cassese, EVP Sales Operations International Markets, Italtel. "The agreement with AMT is the cornerstone of this approach and will increase our traction towards alternative Service Providers and Large Enterprises of Russian Federation and Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries. Italtel is the leading supplier of carrier grade multimedia solution and networks for 25 customers worldwide. We will leverage on such experience to reinforce our long lasting successful presence in the Russian Federation market."

Specialists at AMT-Group highly assess the quality and reputation of Italtel solutions. "We are glad to have the possibility to start promoting New Generation solutions of a technology vendor which is well known and appreciated on the Russian market. In taking the decision to sign a partnership with Italtel we took into account the fact that iMSS has been installed in test laboratory of Technopark ZNIIS (Central Scientific Research Institute of Telecommunications) and is currently in operation in the networks of three important Russian Operators. This is a supplementary advantage of the platform", said Kirill Gusarov, Commercial Director AMT-Group.
