Meir Lipshes, CEO of TTI Telecom, commented, "Overall it was a successful quarter for TTI, having secured several new service agreements. This quarter we completed the implementation of two supervision systems for a large customer over environmental equipment as well as a 3G network."

Mr. Lipshes continued, saying, "We continue to see the effects of the American dollar's weakness compared to the Israeli shekel, as it is causing our operational expenses to continue to increase. Additionally, the American market's overall weakness also negatively impacts the Company's book to bill ratio."

Mr. Lipshes noted that TTI Telecom has implemented organizational changes that are companywide: "Our chief financial and chief operating officer, Eli Ofer, is leaving the Company. Mr. Shachar Ebel, the CTO of TTI Telecom, will now serve also as Chief Operating Officer, taking over the responsibility for worldwide day to day operation of the company. Mr. Asaf Shirazi, Vice President, Research and Development, will take on the responsibility for the professional services division and the Telesens subsidiary in addition to his R&D responsibilities."
