Intelligent optimization service will be deployed by the US vendor which in turn will help MagtiCom to deliver a high quality and cost effective service to its mobile customer base.

The 3G licence which Georgian textile company Argotex won in April 2006, with a bid of GEL19.9 million (USD9.2 million), has been transferred to cellco MagtiCom, which also purchased a 3G licence in August 2005, for GEL20.38 million. Argotex never launched services, and has only paid 30% of the licence fee. The rest will now be paid by MagtiCom, whose GSM service had around 675,000 subscribers at the end of June 2006, 44% of the domestic market.
