Contract win with Uruguayan Government
Broadening of market reach in South America
Mirada plc ("Mirada" or "the Company"), the AIM-quoted interactive media and
games group, is pleased to announce a new customer contract in its target
growth sector of South America and the first contract win for Mirada Uruguay
following the recent opening of the Company's first South American office
there. The agreement is to provide interactive Television solutions and
services, which include local area information products, targeting households
in Uruguay.
Mirada has been contracted by the Uruguayan Government to provide a set of
interactive services that will be deployed under the Plan Cardales - a
Government mandate focused on guaranteeing access to Interactive Digital
Television for all Uruguayan households. Based on the Company's existing
technology platforms, it will develop and integrate useful TV information
services such as: access to information from the Ministry of Public Health,
doctor and pharmacy locaters, weather forecasts, as well as t-learning, which
provides access to virtual learning resources - materials, courses and tutors.
The first phase of the deployment will begin at the end of August 2009 with the
services being delivered to 7,000 households, with the final phase beginning in
December. The overall aim is to deliver interactive digital television to all
households in Uruguay (over 1 million) within a target timeframe of five years.
The Plan Cardales is also focused on those living below the poverty line, with
the mandate being to deliver digital information services to these approximate
400,000 households.
For competitive reasons the exact nature of the contract with the Government
cannot be disclosed, however it is expected to generate turnover of around USD
$500,000 this financial year with further revenues to follow as Mirada develops
additional interactive services for the digital television platform in the
region. This contract, being the first for the newly opened office, is expected
to have a positive impact on Mirada's reach in South America due to the
significance and scope of the project. The Company believes this will help
position itself as the foremost regional leader and expert in the provision of
interactive consumer technology and products.
José Luis Vázquez, Chief Executive Officer of Mirada, commented:
"This new contract serves to expand our leadership in interactive digital
television around the globe. We have been chosen to lead and deliver these
projects due to our innovative products and expertise and hopefully these
agreements will lead to additional business in these key growth areas.
"Our new office in Uruguay is making great strides in capturing further
business in South America and this first contract with the Government is of
great value in terms of solidifying our presence in the region."
