- Russian Mobile Provider SMARTS Chose Celtro's DynaMate for the 
Optimization of its Backhaul Network

Celtro, a pioneer and leading global supplier of creative
switching solutions for the mobile backhaul network, today announced that
Russian provider SMARTS had chosen the company's DynaMate solution for
optimization and future-proofing of its mobile backhaul network.

By deploying DynaMate, SMARTS will join other 74 providers
worldwide who have effectively eliminated data services bottlenecks in their
access networks using Celtro's products. Enabling seamless connection of new
base stations and the addition of more transmitter-receivers without
additional investment in transport infrastructure, DynaMate will deliver
significant resource savings to SMARTS - especially as their network
continues to expand.

"With the Celtro installation, we will be able to increase our
network capacity, include additional base stations, expand our coverage, and
improve our overall quality of service - all this, while actually reducing
operating expenses," noted Michail Chusainov, Deputy Director of SMARTS and
General Manager of the Technical Department. "Additionally, Celtro's solution
enables us to create combined 2G/3G networks for HSPA deployment, helping us
prepare for a smooth transition to future technologies," he concluded.

"The fact that SMARTS chose Celtro attests both to the
excellent performance of our solutions, and to the strength of the
cooperation between our companies," said Dmitry Bidny, AVP Sales Russia, at
Celtro. "By facilitating planned expansion and modernization, Celtro is
helping Russian operators use their networks more efficiently - offering
their users a wider spectrum of data services based on high-speed data
transmission," he added.
