Warsaw, November 24th 2009 – GTS Central Europe, a leading telecommunications operator in the CEE region, has been recognized in the prestigious Wholesale Telecommunications Awards for ‘Best Central & Eastern European Wholesale Offering’. Capacity Magazine’s annual awards were presented on the first evening of Capacity Europe on 23rd of November 2009, attended by more than 400 senior industry executives. The awards, created to recognize the best market players, are based on five criteria: network quality and performance, network reach, speed to market, pricing strategy, and overall investments in the network.

GTS Central Europe has been selected for its outstanding achievements in developing its wholesale strategy in the  Central and Eastern European markets, supported by aggressive investments in technologies and the resulting enhanced service quality and customer experience. The award for 2009 follows the completion of the company’s integration process, and confirms that GTS’s “one-stop shopping” strategy, with integrated services available to business clients in five countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Slovakia, place the company at the forefront of the telecoms industry in the region.

“GTS Central Europe has continued to enhance its wholesale offering throughout 2009,”said Matthew Whalley, editor of Capacity magazine. “It has had success in centralising its operation and launched its international network operations centre this July. These moves pave the way for the continued development of their wholesale business as well as ongoing achievement in the Central and Eastern European wholesale market.”

Commenting on the awards, Mr. Artur Ostrowski, Head of International Services, said: “We are very happy, and at the same time very proud of this recognition. This award reflects the hard work put in by the entire team and its dedication in building the best operator in the region.

We hope that this accolade demonstrates the credibility of our services and commitment to providing services of the highest quality. The award will certainly help motivate our team in maintaining our foothold position in the CEE region.”
