Contract Win

Pinnacle Telecom Group plc, (AIM: PINN) the AIM listed provider of integrated telecommunications solutions, is pleased to announce that under a non-disclosure agreement, it has won a contract to supply a UK Television broadcaster, with Pinnacle's Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), hosted telephony service for its short term events.

For this broadcaster, the Pinnacle VoIP service enables rapid deployment of telephony and data to remote and temporary locations, which reduces costs and improves productivity. Pinnacle's VoIP service provides all the features of a feature-rich fixed telephone system, however, Pinnacle's VoIP service is totally portable, accessed and configured from anywhere in the world via the Internet. Importantly however, the service is delivered at a fraction of the cost when compared to a traditional, feature-rich, fixed telephone system.

Commenting on the new contract win, Alan Bonner, CEO of Pinnacle, said: "Pinnacle continues to evolve its business from traditional telephony, into the next generation of IP telephony and associated services, the contract win further emphasises Pinnacle's ability to provide IP telephony to remote and short-term events. The contract is estimated to generate £500,000 of annual revenue."

Change of Broker

Pinnacle announces today that it has appointed Rivington Street Corporate Finance Limited as its broker with immediate effect.
