Contract win with MNO in Middle East

Push-to-Talk among range of solutions to support workforce management

Mobile Tornado, a leading push-to-talk over cellular ("PTToC") and workforce management solution provider, announces that the Company has secured a contract through its regional partner to supply a range of cutting-edge technologies for a prominent mobile network operator ("MNO") in the Middle East and Africa.

The MNO serves over 50 million active individual and business customers, offering a comprehensive selection of mobile voice and data services. It was in search of a range solutions to enhance its services for enterprise customers managing diverse workforces across various industries.

After a competitive procurement process involving globally recognised telecoms companies, Mobile Tornado's technology was selected by the MNO to deliver PTToC, lone worker and live video communications services. Mobile Tornado's technology was chosen due to its lower latency, lower data usage and seamless compatibility across connectivity generations from 2G to 5G and WiFi. The Company's solutions are provided to customers through a user-friendly app, downloadable from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

Key features of the Mobile Tornado solutions include:

·      voice and video calls to anywhere in the world at the push of a button;

·      lone worker support including real-time location tracking, emergency SOS alerts, device inactivity monitoring, ambient listening and more; and

·      significantly lower data usage than comparative solutions, approximately 300MB per month.

Jeremy Fenn, Executive Chairman, said: " We identified the Middle East as a crucial region for business development, and this new contract through our local partner provides us with a platform for expansion across multiple territories. Winning this deal against global OEMs is a testament to the quality of our solutions. The Push-to-Talk over Cellular market continues to gather momentum, thanks to advances in network infrastructure and widespread connectivity, making it a reliable and technically robust solution for enterprises seeking real-time communication support for their field workers. This contract, in a key target market, is a testament to the changes we made early last year and the Board looks forward to increasing sales momentum as 2024 develops."
