Teradyon, Israel – May 16, 2005 – B.O.S . Better On-line Solutions Ltd. (the “Company” or “BOS”) (NASDAQ:BOSC; TASE:BOSC) today announced that it is expanding its activities in Europe and starts selling in the Finish market.
BOS has recently signed a distribution agreement in Finland with Technosmart Oy, who is already distributing the products of Quasar Telecom, a company recently acquired by BOS. Technosmart will begin distributing BOS’s Voice over IP gateways, in addition to the Quasar cellular gateways.
“This important partnership is another milestone in our overall strategy to expand our activities in Europe. Partnering with Technosmart will assist us in penetrating the Finish market at first, and then expand to Scandinavia” Says Adiv Baruch, BOS’s CEO. “BOS has been very active in the European market, both with its VoIP products and with its other solutions in countries such as England, Germany, France, Portugal, Sweden, and now in Finland”
Mr. Baruch also mentioned that the enhanced activities in Europe are all part of the company’s growth strategy through mergers and acquisitions, another part of which was the acquisition of Quasar Telecom by BOS last September.
The joint capabilities of the two companies and the synergy between BOS’s VoIP products and Quasar’s Cellular gateways are used to leverage BOS’s VoIP solutions sales and expand its activities.
