BANGALORE, India -- Pronto Networks, a leading provider of carrier-class OSS solutions for large Wi-Fi hot spot networks, today announced two new additions to its management team in the Asia-Pacific region. Paramjit "Param" Singh Puri has been named the general manager for the SAARC region with additional interim responsibility for South Asia and Mangesh Kolhatkar as the director of solutions marketing. Both will work from Pronto's Bangalore, India, office and will initially focus on the company's expansion to India and other South Asian countries including Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and Nepal.

Over the previous year, the Asia-Pacific region witnessed extraordinary growth of public WLAN hotspot deployments. According to UK-based consultancy BWCS, the number of hotspots in the Asia-Pacific region grew from around 2,000 at the close of 2002 to more than 21,300 hotspots by the end of 2003.

"The recent funding addition will enable Pronto to more aggressively target the rapidly growing Asia-Pacific public WLAN market, which will only serve as the beginning of our global expansion efforts over the coming year," said Jasbir Singh, president and CEO of Pronto Networks.

"And given Param's and Mangesh's extensive knowledge of, and expertise in, the global technology industry, we are pleased to welcome them to the Pronto Networks team."
