TynTec Expands International Mobile Messaging Network with Performance Technologies’ SEGway(TM)

ROCHESTER, New York -

- Link Replacement Solution Saves Signalling Transport Costs

Performance Technologies (Nasdaq: PTIX), a leading provider of innovative communications solutions, today announced that TynTec GmbH, a global mobile messaging provider, has purchased the company’s SEGway(TM) Link Replacement Solution to enhance their network performance and support a greater volume of text messages. TynTec offers advanced Short Messaging Services (SMS) to mobile network operators, enterprise carriers, internet companies, and mobile services providers worldwide.

Built on a carrier-grade platform, Performance Technologies’ SEGway Link Replacement is a high performance transport solution, ideal for high latency environments such as SS7 over satellite or SS7-to-IP networks. It is transparent in the network, requiring no point code, no switch translations, no reconfiguration, and no maintenance. Best of all, the more efficient bandwidth utilization lowers the cost of signal transport. Where once providers needed to lease costly, dedicated E1/T1 facilities to ensure the integrity of long-haul signalling, they now have an affordable alternative that is scalable and highly reliable.

“Performance Technologies’ SEGway Link Replacement Solution provides us the flexibility to expand our rapidly growing network quickly and efficiently, in the most cost-effective way,” said Thorsten Trapp, CTO of TynTec. “With SEGway in our network, we’re positioned to offer our customers the best quality, most reliable, and fastest connections to other networks.”

In the mobile messaging market, the ability to provision services internationally and offer wide network coverage are the differentiators for leadership. TynTec delivers true operator-level SMS through a unique infrastructure comprising four hundred networks in 160 countries. Their customers are guaranteed worldwide coverage as well as secure message delivery within fifteen seconds.

“Major telecoms carriers as well as emerging messaging service providers recognize that short-term ROI and enhanced service offerings are the direct result of implementing our SEGway Link Replacement,” said Performance Technologies Senior Vice President Patt Rice. “We are pleased to welcome TynTec to our growing roster of satisfied customers around the globe who are experiencing the essential value of Simply Smarter Signaling(R).”
