Alexander Gurko, Chief Executive Officer of NIS GLONASS, commented:

“NIS-M2M Group of companies maintained its leading position in the transportation telematics and satelite navigation market in 2011, due to its strong financial and operating growth.

Our rapid growth resulted from large-scale GLONASS deployment projects in commercial and public sectors. Such projects included the creation of ERA-GLONASS, the establishment of an integrated automated passenger transportation dispatch centre and the provision of land passenger transportation safety solutions in Moscow as part of the creation of an Intelligent Transportation System in the city, the development of  departamental (the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the RF,  the Ministry of the RF for Civil Defence, Emergency Situations and the Rectification of the Consequences of Natural Disasters, the Federal Agency for Transport Supervision (Rostransnadzor) and others) and major industrial navigation and information systems (OJSC Transneft, OJSC Bashkirnefteproduct, FSUE Russian Post and others). In 2011, we saw a significant increase in the scope of deployment of GLONASS technology across Russia.

We are confident that our regional development, the creation of new products for corporate clients and, above all, the launch of our services in the mass market, will provide us with significant growth across all our financial indicators in 2012 and beyond. This will also enable us to strengthen our leading positions in Russia and to expand our business successfully into other countries.”
