CORPORATE OVERVIEW

2011 edition

It all started with an idea. From a small office in Bucharest to an important company - there are few Romanian corporations that can look
back on such a history of success as we can. UTI was founded in May 1990 by Tiberiu Urdareanu, Lucia Urdareanu and Dumitru Aelenei as
Infcon, a company dealing with buying and reselling computer subsets and accessories, office supplies. Soon afterwards, the idea that the
market has a great potential for safety and protection solutions came to mind and led to the creation of the first business line: physical security
systems. Our early mission focused on providing security systems that we felt the market was missing. Most clients were defining their own
activity and they needed help in doing so under the safest conditions. Our first client was the organization Mdecins sans frontiers where
we designed and installed the first residential alarm system in 1991. The company carefully managed projects to ensure growth. These
early projects allowed new design and
installation concepts to emerge and to be
applied in later works. Simultaneously
with the interest in new technologies, UTI
started to position itself on the market,
by attending specialized trades and
exhibitions. The first such event occurred
in 1991, namely the International Fair for
Consumer Goods in Bucharest. In 1992, we
initiated what would become a traditional
business-pattern: solutions provided to a
company network. In this case the company
was LG Electronica. Already in 1993, UTI
started to extend its activities by setting
up its security services company: Cobra
Security. The year 1993 was a turning point
for the future evolution of the company, as
we approached the first project of security
solutions for critical infrastructures - UTI
was selected to provide security systems
for the Cernavoda Power Plant. This
was the starting point of a collaboration
that continues to this day and that was
developed year by year. Also, in 1993, UTI
started the collaboration with the financial
institutions, by implementing a complex
security system for Eximbank. The setting
up of UTI Systems in 1994, a company
specialized in physical and information
security systems integration, came as a
natural step. It was UTI timely answer to
the market present and future needs. Also
in 1994, UTI started a long collaboration
with the Bancorex Bank that later would
become the Romanian Commercial Bank.
In 1995 we approached the governmental
institution market, as well as the private
industrial companies. By 1996 the Romanian
retail market started to bloom and we focused
on a new activity: security solutions for retail
areas. UTI also became the only Romanian
distributor of prestigious providers of security
products for retail areas. The first retailer we
secured was Metro that chose us for its first
store opened in Otopeni, Bucharest. This was
only the beginning of a long and mutually
rewarding collaboration. In 1997 we decided to go nationally and the Brasov branch was immediately set up. This year was also the starting
point of the collaboration with Henri Coanda International Airport, a collaboration that has been lasting to this day. The first systems we
provided were the integrated security and communications systems, as well as the telephone exchange. 1999 was another milestone for
the evolution of the company: our specialized team developed a custom-made ERP solution for Henri Coanda International Airport that we
named ICAR, we started what would become a long collaboration with Metrorex, Bucharest Underground Company, for which we provided
CCTV, radio communications, fire detection solutions and we set the ground for a new business line: building management and installations.

Tiberiu Urdareanu, UTI President

We will continue to play a major role on the market if we preserve our vital features: to
be big and small at the same time, to have the agility to adapt ourselves to the market
conditions, to anticipate and meet the clients needs. Strong leadership, excellent teamwork
and discipline have to guide us through the economic crisis.
The year 2010 is a beaUTIful one for us - excellent financial results, resilience in dealing
with the crisis and international development are just some of the features of its first
semester.

Anniversary Edition 1990-2010

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

DEAR ALL,
2010 was a very special year for UTI:
we celebrated its 20th year of activity
on the 5th of October and started a
one-year long communication campaign
in order to thank our partners, clients
and stakeholders for the successful
collaboration.
So, Happy Anniversary UTI!
As the founder of UTI, I am extremely grateful
to all our clients who, over all these years, have
awarded us with their trust and confidence,
which is actually our most precious capital.
Our success was possible mainly by the
continuous attempt to meet our clients
expectations and reward their trust in UTI by
outstanding solutions and services.
At the same time, nothing would have been
possible without the commitment, loyalty and,
rather often, the sacrifice of the UTI team.
UTI is now mature enough to get involved into
more complex projects, agile enough to quickly
adapt itself to the changes of the market and
entrepreneurial enough to continue to innovate
and develop.
All these features were combat-proven during
the deep crisis of 2009-2010. The financial
results of 2010 clearly show a resilient UTI to
the adverse market conditions.

The consolidated financial results have


improved compared to 2009, the turnover
amounting to 159 million Euro, compared to
126 million Euro registered in 2009.
Also, the profitability of 2010 was a recordsetting one: the consolidated EBITDA
amounted to 22.6 million Euro, while its rate
was of 14%.
UTI managed to preserve its profitability
through a wise combination of cost cutting and
business development strategies. And, of course,
by the positive can do attitude of its leaders
and employees.
One thing we had proven to ourselves during
the crisis was that carefully planned actions
cannot be substituted by a quick fix. UTI
was able to resist through a synergistically
diversified business portfolio, leadership and
discipline, prudence and innovation.
As a consequence of preserving its capability
to generate profit, in December 2010 UTI
distributed dividends to its shareholders,
including the 105 UTI employees, members of
the UTI Stock Option Plan.
Except fighting the crisis, 2010 was a year of
outstanding results in business development.
The backlog of contracts reached more than
350 mil Euros at the end of 2010. New clients,
new markets, fresh business were added to the
existing ones.
The UTI fleet had produced the best results
ever, encouraging us to consider it as the most
profitable year in our history.

Our priorities for 2011-2012 are to


consolidate the already mature business
lines such as Homeland Security, IT&C and
Installations and Construction, and to increase
the market share for the other business lines:
Facility Management, Traffic Management and
Defense.
Therefore, I see good chances that UTI would
keep its strategic objectives set through the
UTI STAR Strategy for the next 5 years. The
year 2011 means that UTI has entered a new
strategic stage, whose main objectives are
international development and going public
with a regional Stock Exchange in 2013-2014.
UTIs main response to the crisis is attack: we
have attacked and will continue to attack the
local and the international market with more
powerful resources.
The Strategic Business Development (SBD)
team includes the most experienced and
skilled people who have decisively contributed
to the development of UTI business lines until
now. They handed over the leadership of the
operational companies and gathered their
talents under UTIs flagship: the SBD team.
We will systematically attack, both the CentralEastern European market and the Middle East
one. We will be more and more present in the
vital parts of the citizens life by providing
solutions for a safe life at home, in the street,
on the airplane, in the car, at the office, in order
to make the business more efficient and cost
effective, to create comfortable, pleasant and
ecological buildings, for a beaUTIful life.

HUMAN RESOURCES
Cultivating a highly
qualified workforce
We are constantly raising the professional standards our employees have to meet. We focus on
attracting young people for either specialist or executive positions.
To meet our large need for technical high schools and university graduates, we establish contacts
with students - particularly those majoring in engineering, attract talented people, at an early stage,
and foster their development.
We also seek to involve students and Master of Science graduates in our R&D projects, which will
turn into business ideas and new products/solutions.

Performance evaluation,
training and career development

Cosmin Ciobanu, Director,


Corporate Human Resources Department

UTI is a human-intensive type of business.


Our main capital is human and intellectual.
Therefore, we consider the key employees as
partners and we treat them accordingly.

UTI employees have the option to develop a career plan, as we consider internal promotion to be
extremely important. Our employees can also move across the business lines, diversifying their
professional experience, and creating synergies. We have started to benefit from the capabilities the
new ERP Oracle will provide through e-learning and Talent Management applications.
The HR modules implementation was started in August 2008 and will be finalized in December
2010. Using the Oracle platforms, we will allow 360 degrees feedback to flow within the
organization, emphasizing both strong points and weak points of employees.

UTI is also a learning company. We usually


pioneer and innovate businesses, projects,
solutions.
Consequently, we need to continuously learn
and develop competencies.
Highly qualified and motivated people are the
key to our success. That is why we are totally
committed to the permanent training of our
employees. We offer a comprehensive range
of training programs, both internal, organized
by our specialists, and external.
In addition, we sponsor special programs
for high school graduates and work-study
programs for university students.

Training for top and

The Outcome
of the Assessment Center

UTI is a profitable and growing company. Efforts are constantly made to invest more in training and
career development. An assessment center has been founded and pointed out the need for efforts
to be made to develop the management team and help it work as a proper team. A program has
been launched aiming at encouraging teamwork and collaboration among UTI business units and
companies, instead of competing internally.

We were able to provide for each person a brief


description of his/her competencies, a chart
with grades from 1-5 showing whether the
respective competency was a strength or scope
for development, recommendations were made
on the poorer competencies.

Here are some of the issues approached:


provide an intellectual framework and emotional understanding of teamwork
understand and receive feedback on the issues related to the team and its stage of development
offer the chance to experience and thus provide meaning to the expression work smarter not
harder
underline the value and importance of effective communication
develop creativity and the concept of learning together (coaching) through out of the box
thinking.

The objectives
of the Assessment Center
Select people with a potential
Identify internal promotion opportunities
Identify the employees development needs
Create a working environment where employees see career and development opportunities

The assessment allowed us to advise people


to attend courses/trainings and coaching
programs for: Emotional Intelligence, Assertive
Communication, Strategic Management,
Presentation Skills, Negotiation and Persuasion,
Time Management, Issue Solving, Lateral
Thinking, Leadership, Motivation Techniques.

Combining training
with relaxation
Professional development is extremely
important, but we acknowledge the importance
of soft skills in running a successful business.
Thus, UTI organized team-buildings meant
to teach new techniques for team working,
initiative and involvement, as well as efficient
operational communication.

Motivation
and retention
We have a customized Compensation and
Benefits System built on three pillars, providing:
Competitive salary package
Stock Option Plan allowing employees
participation in the company ownership
and profit
Flexible benefit plan

STOCK OPTION PLAN


UTI established an ambitious development
strategy with a first milestone in 2012.
The materialization of the strategy depends a
lot on UTIs personnel active involvement and
commitment.
In order to reward the long-term effort of UTIs
most loyal employees that contributed to its
development, UTI management team decided
to implement an employees participation plan
in the company registered capital, generically
called UTI Stock Option Plan.

The participants in the program


Employees having positively influenced UTI business growth
Employees having proven loyalty and initiative
Employees having an important contribution, directly or indirectly, to the growth
of the UTI market value
The holding of Certificates of Deposit, irrespective of their value, grants to UTI employees:
Value accumulation resulted from the growth of UTI HOLDINGS market value
Payable dividends from UTI Holdings accumulated capital
Dividends from the companies operational profit

15% of UTI total capital has already been


allotted to implementing the Stock Option Plan.

At present, 105 employees hold certificates of deposit.


This number represents about 5% of UTI employees.

The main objectiveS


of UTI Stock Option Plan

dividends granted to the key employees

Active involvement and participation of UTI


employees in attaining UTI strategic objectives
Retention of the best specialists who hold key
competencies and roles
Attracting the best specialists on the market to
fill in the vacant positions within the UTI team
Harmonization of the main interests and
actions of the participants, UTI companies, UTI
operational and functional units

The good financial results accomplished by UTI in 2008 allowed for granting dividends to all UTI
shareholders. This is extremely motivating as the years 2009 and 2010 were very difficult ones,
economically speaking.
Although the world economy is touched by a severe economic crisis, UTI maintained its financial
indicators at a better level than in 2008.
In December 2009, the members of UTI Foundation, the legal instrument that allows UTI employees
to be shareholders, gathered in a meeting for the first time.
The purpose of the event was to approve the changes operated in the regulation of the Foundation,
to communicate the consolidated financial situation and the value of the dividends to be distributed.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct


UTI Code of Ethics and Business Conduct was established in October 2005 and referes to such
areas as: conflicts of interests, legal compliance, integrity, competition policy, financial transparency,
the company politics towards its employees, etc.
The Code enforcement began with the creation of the Office of Business Conduct and Ethics, within
the Corporate Legal Department.
The main task of the Office is to coordinate and advise with respect to the enforcement of the Code
and to solve all the issues related to business ethics and work relationships. To make things easier
for everyone, a specialized telephone hot line was created.

FINANCE
Aware of how important its role is in the success of the organization, The Corporate Finance
Department is one of the main drivers in attaining the companys goals, not only through cost
control, efficient cash management, but also through minute supervision of the financial activities
of each business line and of the entire holding.
The Corporate Finance Department is no longer a mere spectator that only verifies and
acknowledges the financial results of the companies, but it gets actively involved in defining the
strategy of the company. It focuses on risk identification and mitigation, aware that it is easier to
prevent rather than solve an issue after it has occurred.
The department is responsible for monitoring and observing the KPIs and market margins of the
industrial segments each company is active in, by identifying the performance fluctuations and
permanently comparing each companys performance with the performance of other companies on
the same market.
Dana Macovei, Chief Financial Officer
Corporate Finance Department

Business predictability is another important responsibility and is achieved by an efficient and


precise budgeting and forecasting activity.
In compliance with its assumed role, the department has become actively involved in the
implementation of the corporate strategy, through an extensive reengineering process.

Main functional roles


Contract analysis
Finding the most appropriate financing solutions for each project
Credit control to enable the receivables cashing
Improvement of the audit department competencies
Risk identification and coverage
Patrimony and risk insurance management

Alice Ionescu, Deputy Chief Financial Officer


Corporate Finance Department

As the economy continues to evolve, so does


the role of the finance department within
our organization. Driven by investments in
enterprise resource planning (ERP), shared
services and changes in its reporting role,
UTI finance department became more
efficient - requiring fewer management
resources and closely aligning with the
companys business structure. The structure
of the department was modified and the
roles of each function were clearly stated.

The ability to use the latest economic tools, to adjust to the social and economic context and to
the market specificity enabled our finance specialists to cope with the most diverse challenges.
The dynamics of the UTI business, the emerging challenges, but also the demanding management,
turned the Corporate Finance Department team into a solid, supportive, and alert one.

The new team within the Finance


Department has an extensive operational
experience and is very enthusiastic about
contributing to the UTI value generation.

FINANCE MANAGEMENT
GUIDELINES
The role of our finance professionals has
evolved into a coaching role responsible for
transferring the appropriate analytical tools
and methods to decision-makers. One of the
most important steps we took: we turned the
Corporate Finance Department into a valueadded function, relying on the latest theories in
the field.
This required a different way of thinking about
how we used to measure performance. In
financial management, we focus on increasing
value.
When we talk about value, we are referring to
the market value of the organization. Market
values are determined by the future expected
cash flows that will be generated over the life of
the business.
The problem with the traditional accounting
model is that all of the emphasis is on earnings,
especially the amount of earnings. In financial
management, we call this economic performance
as opposed to accounting performance.

Corporate Finance Department Team

MAIN ROLES
Improving the allocation of resources among business units, business lines, or other parts of the
business
Realigning the business operational units to make them adjust the rest of the organization.
All the parts of the business need to work together within a single strategic framework
Providing the managers and decision makers with the most accurate and timely information possible
Increasing the business focus on what is important
Introducing shared services and transfer pricing for a better resources leverage of the business
and reduce redundancy
Increasing the capacity of the organization to obtain credits.
Another mandate for creating value is to invest in assets that will provide returns higher than the
cost of capital. This requires that we manage assets in accordance with the following:
Cash is as important, if not more, than earnings.
New investments in assets must prove their keep by generating positive net present values.
Existing assets are subject to regular review for economic performance.

Every important company worldwide tries to find the appropriate Business Strategy to cope

Development Department elaborated a plan meant to put a clear direction on paper and to
share it with EVERY UTI employee. By doing this, we can control our business to make sure that
we are effectively positioned for future recovery when global economy starts to grow.
In 2009, UTI continued to maintain a dominant position and hold a market leader in Romania

partnerships with the major accounts, to become an efficient support for the UTI companies in
developing the business by maintaining positive relationships with all the major accounts and

EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT

MANAGEMENT ROLE

Community commitment

Employees are also very important to the


company. Both management and employees
within the organization must develop a sense
of inclusion, a sense of willing cooperation and
a united pursuit of the companys values and
goals. This is done through two-way internal
communications, up and down the hierarchy.

The Corporate Communication Department


works along with the President and Vicepresidents in providing policies and guidelines
in corporate image, corporate identity and
corporate culture. It also works closely with HR
in ingraining corporate culture and two-way
communication within the company.

UTI has a long history of employee volunteering,


charitable giving, culture and sports support,
respect for the environment, and a strong
commitment to improving education.

During the last years, we made efforts to


improve the internal communication, by
editing the company newsletter, refining
the management messages sent into the
organization, creating a discussion board related
to the economic crisis, updated the intranet site
to enable easier and more efficient two-way
communication, to maintain the employees
spirits up and to further their identification and
purpose within the company.

The main goal of the Corporate Communication


Department is to make sure that UTIs image and
reputation are well recognized on the specific
market segments, but within the community, as
well, through its social-responsible activities.
We provide the appropriate instruments
and mechanisms for a good internal and
external communication, aiming at turning the
communication into an excellent one.

We are proud that the same innovative spirit


behind UTIs technological success also drives
innovative solutions and programs for the
benefit of our communities.
Being a responsible corporate citizen does
not mean losing focus on the interests of our
shareholders. It means finding intersections
between the needs of our communities and the
goals of our company and making investments
that benefit both. It also means using our
technology to advance interests within
the community.
We intend to maintain our reputation as
an innovative leader, as we continue our
commitment to good corporate citizenship.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSABILITY


UTI works actively to address community
needs and improve the quality of life in the
communities in which it does business. With
UTI, we do not see CSR as an obligation, but
a proof of UTIs management system strength.

Through CSR activities, we can earn the respect


of the society as a good corporate citizen and
develop in harmony with the communities
we serve.

In 2006, UTI started a special program UTI Student meant to extend the recruitment possibilities
and to train specialists in particular fields of interest. Future plans include collaborations with other
faculties, both technical and non-technical, in Bucharest, in other major Romanian university centers,
as well as in the Republic of Moldavia.

UTIs collaboration with the academic environment has already become a tradition. Initially started
as a random collaboration between university professors and specialists and UTI employees for
various projects, the collaboration turned into a permanent partnership.

Academic partners

Faculty of Electronics and Telecommunications)
The Technical University of Civil Engineering

GIVING CAMPAIgNS
UTI is actively involved into offering help and material support to people in distress. It has already
become a tradition for UTI to give a glance of hope and a smile to old people and children deprived
of a normal family living.
Some of the less fortunate people that UTI helped are the children of the Orphanage of Valea Screzii
located near Valenii de Munte and the old people housed by the Care Center of Catcau, Cluj.
UTI also helps the children of Burleti village, by constantly offering them material support
to continue their studies.

Preferring to solve problems rather than manage


their consequences, UTI and its employees
focus on bringing about positive change in key
areas such as: education, art, health, giving

Since 2010 UTI has been Powered by Oracle


A Step towards a better Resources Management

UTI management has decided to implement a performing ERP (Enterprise


Resource Planning) application able to cope with the accelerated and constant
UTI development, with the diversification of its domains and the large number
of member companies. The ERP application was chosen with the purpose of
providing:
Process integration and automation
Business process adjustment in order to achieve higher efficiency, starting from
the best practices
Rapid provision of accurate information to the strategic, tactical and operational
management teams

UTI Everest team

We studied the offers of the most important ERP solution providers and choose
Oracle e-Business Suite as the most appropriate solution for what UTI needed.
Considering the diversity and complexity of UTI activities, the decision was made
to buy licenses covering such areas as Finance, Project Management, Logistics,
Client Relationships, Human Resources and Payroll, Business Intelligence, as
well as collaborative applications integrated within the Collaboration Suite.
The implementation was performed by Oracle Romania supported by a UTI
implementation team from our business and functional departments. In July
2009, the employee management and assessment modules of the Human
Resources application were launched. Considering UTI specific project-based
activity, but also the large range of activities (integrated projects, construction
works, production, services, maintenance, etc), it was necessary to launch
simultaneously several applications that covered the entire business and
functional area.
The launch was performed in January 2010.

powered by

Everest is the most ambitious internal investment


project. Started in 2008, Everest is the new ERP solution
based on Oracle technology meant to provide real time
information and control over UTI business processes.
UTI has invested over 7 million Euro so far in the
development of the Everest project.
We are confident that the new ERP will provide more
agility and transparency to our operations.

Other applications were launched, after having performed the three


necessary steps:
Implementation of the remaining business and functional applications
Launch of the Budgeting and Managerial Reporting application, including
Business Intelligence and Balanced Scorecard Strategic Management
application
Implementation of the collaborative applications
The implementation of Oracle e-Business Suite within UTI has several specific
features:
The latest e-Business Suite-R12.1.1 version is implemented, UTI being one
of the first companies to do that.
The latest Oracle Database (version 11.2.0) that allows the upgrade for future
application versions was implemented.
The applications implemented have a very large use range.
The Oracle e-Business Suite is one of the few in the entire world that consists
of 38 applications.
Several applications are launched simultaneously.

The Public Transportation


Company of Bucharest
After having successfully implemented the
automated fare collection system and launched
the Activ card for the public transportation
company in Bucharest, in 2009 UTI developed a
solution to recharge the Active cards online or
via ATMs.
UTI developed a portal http://online.ratb.
ro, based on state-of-the art technology and
with a user-friendly and intuitive interface.
The transactions performed on the portal are
secured through the 3D Secure protocol and the
owners of a nominal transportation card can
recharge them by using any MasterCard or Visa
card. Also, UTI provided the software application
for the ATM card recharging, while the partner
bank (The Romanian Commercial Bank) provided
the payment application.
By the end of 2010, UTI and The Romanian
Commercial Bank issued a co-branded card that
allows the payment of the trip on the bus. These
developments are meant to improve the travel
conditions for the passengers and to strengthen
the UTI position as a trustworthy community
partner.

The Romanian Electronic Vignette


The National Company of Highways and National Roads of Romania
The information system for the issuance, management, monitoring and control of the Electronic
Vignette is a solution that allows the increase of the road toll collection by easy selling mechanisms
and through a sophisticated control system.
Until now every driver had to stick a paper on the vehicle window to prove that he had bought a
vignette and to present the receipt in case of a control. By implementing the above-mentioned
solution everything will be controlled electronically. When purchased, the vignette is transmitted to
a central database, its control being performed by fixed and mobile portals.
Each portal is equipped with special video cameras that allow the automatic reading of the
registration plates and, upon the identification of a car that does not hold a vignette, an alarm
is sent to the central control center where a contravention report is generated. The system
implementation has been performed in record time, in less than three months. By launching this
system, The National Company of Highways and National Roads of Romania CNANDR, will have
real-time information about the collection of the funds.

The project is financed through the POS-T


program, being one of the projects that benefit
from European funds financing.
Our client will have the most up-to-date
implementation of the RIS standards in Romania

TELECOM NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE BUSINESS UNIT


OUTLINE
Netcity Telecom was established in 2007 by UTI, after having won the international tender
organized by the Municipality of Bucharest in order to build, manage and maintain the
underground metropolitan infrastructure network for fiber optic for a 49-year period.
This project is the first Romanian metropolitan underground infrastructure project for
telecommunications and, at the same time, one of the largest investments in public services to
be made in Bucharest.
Netcity networks targeted users are all the telecom operators (TV cable, internet, fixed &
mobile voice) and also the public institutions under the Municipality control. The main services
provided for these clients are: duct rental, dark fiber rental, and other specific services for
telecom infrastructure.
Netcity improves the quality of life of Bucharest citizens by allowing them to choose highquality and high-reliability services, thanks to this FTTB/FTTH networks that are deployed using
underground infrastructure. Also, Netcity provides a development platform for the local telecom
market, based on competition in terms of quality and price, rather than just on an infrastructure
differentiator.
On the other hand, the Netcity project does not use public funds, but it is a source of revenue
to the Municipalitys budget, by the royalties paid by Netcity Telecom. With no investments, the
Municipality will own a network that is built according to the latest technological standards and,
at the same time, will reshape the look of the city.

OUTLINE

SOLUTIONS

The number of vehicles is increasing every year, the public transportation vehicles get more and
more crowded. There is no traffic control and coordination, while quantitative information on
traffic is hard to get. For all these reasons, UTI Traffic Management provides adaptable traffic

flows and provide useful information to traffic participants.

COMPETENCIES

UTI Traffic Management faces the traffic challenges and provides the most comfortable and costeffective solution: an integrated traffic management system.
UTI solution consists of several independent subsystems, functionally interconnected through a
metropolitan network. Although the systems are independent, they interoperate and interface at
central level, thus enabling the urban traffic management integrated functionality.

SOLUTIONS
UTI solution consists of several independent
subsystems, functionally interconnected through
a metropolitan network. Although the systems
are independent, they interoperate and interface
at central level, thus enabling the urban traffic
management integrated functionality.

Central application
Central graphic user
interface

The synchronicity (adaptability) is applied


to intersections and pedestrian crossings
categories.
The system control strategy is based on a closed
loop of feedback control, so that the network
status is permanently monitored (by detectors
or other information sources) and reacts in real
time by adjusting the traffic parameters.

It ensures the interconnection of the component


subsystems while the users interact with a
unique subsystem management and control
interface. The software allows interfacing with
the following subsystems:

Urban Traffic
Control System (UTC)
Provides adaptive functioning of traffic lights
according to current traffic values, schedules,
infrastructure works, etc.
The adaptive working regime consists of
changing the traffic lights timing in each
intersection, according to the traffic values
determined at intersection level, but also
according to the traffic condition within the
entire system.
All intersections are interconnected and
communicate with the Control Center, which
ensures the optimized adaptive functioning,
based on the monitored traffic.

Urban Traffic Control


Video Surveillance
Traffic Enforcement
Public Transportation Management
Fleet Management
Variable Message Signs
Fault Management
Communications Network Monitoring

Benefits
Traffic optimization
Reduction of global travel times on routes
included within the project

Traffic control

The main purpose of the adaptive system


is to minimize delays and traffic jams. The
mathematical optimizations functions use the
following parameters:
Private and public transportation vehicles delays
Time spent in queue at traffic lights
Unexpected stops
Deviations compared to the reference traffic plans

Public Transportation
Management System (PTM)
Management of public transportation vehicles
in order to follow the established schedule
Integration with the urban traffic control (UTC)
subsystem so that the public transportation
vehicles get green light priority
Emergency vehicles the system provides the
police, the fire fighters, and the ambulance
vehicle high priority in the intersections

Software application graphic interface

Traffic Management System
MUNICIPALITY OF BUCHAREST
UTI TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT has introduced, for
the first time in Romania, an intelligent urban
traffic management and control system, whose
beneficiary is the Municipality of Bucharest.
The project is most commonly known as BTMS
(Bucharest Traffic Management System).

Technologically, the main advantage provided by the traffic management system is given by the
adaptive operation mode, the so-called intelligent operation mode. The adaptive operation mode
resides in adjusting the green-light times in intersections to the real traffic values.
Traffic controllers are installed in every intersection to provide the necessary information. There is
permanent communication with the public transportation vehicles, so that the green-light times will
be adjusted to assure that the public transportation vehicles reach their destination according to the
schedule. All the intersections are connected by fiber optic among them and with the Control Center.
The solution was accomplished in collaboration with SWARCO Austria (provider of traffic lights
equipment), Alled Telesys International and Motorola (communications equipment providers), IBM
(IT equipment provider), Pelco and Teleste (CCTV equipment provider) and MIZAR (provider of the
UTOPIA traffic control software).
This project resulted in completing the competencies and in assimilating the latest technologies,
and, last but not least, in increased comfort for the citizens of Bucharest.
The high technological level and the benefits resulted from the implementation of a traffic
management system make UTI solution the best choice for any city in Romania.

Traffic Control Center, Bucharest

System components
Adaptive subsystem for urban traffic
control (UTC)
Public transportation vehicles
management (PTM)
CCTV subsystem able to view the vehicles
in intersections
These subsystems are complemented by
the Control Center, where every information
provided by the three subsystems is gathered
and managed in order to get appropriate trafficrelated data and find the best ways to
prioritize it.

Traffic management infrastructure

Advantages
Traffic improvement by more than 15%
Public transportation services improvement by
observing the departure and arrival schedule
Instant warning of the faulty equipment in the
intersections and immediate intervention in
order to fix them
Emergency vehicles (Police, Ambulance,
Firefighters) intervention time improvement

Communications infrastructure

Component integration

All these facilities result in a better comfort for


citizens, travelers or drivers.

Traffic lights, traffic
monitoring and road access
Municipality of Brasov

Since 2007, UTI has been providing intersection


service, modernization and rehabilitation
services for the traffic light controled
intersections in Brasov:

Tramway line and street rehabilitation


Municipality of Arad

Started in 2007, the projects consisted of:


Intersection design with regard to road signaling
Traffic lights, traffic controlers and detectors instaling (video and by induction loop)
System commissioning and testing

daily verification of the traffic light equipment


outdated system up-grade
new traffic light controled intersection design
and implementation

The project has been divided in two stages, the first one is concluded and comprised 24
intersections, while the second phase is in progress and covers 11 intersections.

15 intersections have been refurbished, 4


new intersections have been designed and
commissioned, 7 traffic light controlled
pedestrian crossing have been developed
over the last 3 years. By pushing a button, the
installed equipment allows the pedestrians
to request green light to cross the street.
Moreover, as an extension to the contract, UTI
provided a video surveillance system for 4
important intersections. Images are transmitted
wireless to a control center within the City Hall
and traffic is monitored 24h/24h, any traffic
disturbance being spotted and corrected timely.
We have also installed road access systems
(retractable pillars, barriers, parking fare
collection equipment) in the central historical
area of Brasov.

The traffic controler software directly communicates with the maintenance teams and thus all the
intersections are permanently monitored, while the traffic light availability (the actual ratio
between the real functioning time and the planned functioning time) stands very close to 100%.
The detection sensors enable the local adaptive functioning of the traffic lights and improves
the traffic flow.

Advantages

The solution is based on LED-technology traffic lights that bring about a lower energy consumption
subsequently leading to substantial saving in the budget of the municipality.

SOLUTIONS

Dynamic adaptation to changing traffic situations ensure that traffic control systems have the
desired effects immediately, contributing to increased safety. UTI can supply all the necessary
elements from a single source, keeping inter-urban traffic fluent.

Vehicles Tolling and


Classification System

Avoiding traffic jams at tunnels, toll stations or extremely crowded sections of road is an
essential way of improving traffic flow and road safety.
In such situations traffic management systems, tunnel control systems or electronic toll-charging
play an important part.

The Automatic Traffic Counter provided by UTI


is a device for counting and classifying vehicles
(based on the double induction loop principle or
video analysis).
The Automatic Traffic Counter can be installed
as an independent device or can be integrated
as a part of master applications (for example a
highway emergency/SOS system).
The Automatic Traffic Counter detects and
analyzes the number, category and speed of the
passing vehicles for each lane separately. All the
data is accessible locally or remotely.

A trusting relationship

Reputation is one of our best assets, but also the most vulnerable.

Trust is one of the fundamental values that characterize all our projects.

With UTI we acknowledge the importance of our clients reputations


and how, through the innovative use of technology, we can help them
develop their reputation through maximizing efficiency, productivity and
profitability.

We closely collaborate with the clients, so that we be aware of any


potential obstacles and, we promtly solve all the issues that could arise
while the project is in progress.

understanding
THE CLIENTS requirements

A long-term
partnership

Before we can provide our client with valid recommendations, we take


the time to consider his requirements and his business. This enables
us to properly identify the scope of the project and the clients real
expectations.

It is our aim to optimize the quality of the solutions we provide to our


clients because, as our evolution has proven, a happy client will always
look for a long-term partnership.

Paying attention to our clients and understanding their individual


requirements make us unique.

Further below, we will take an inside look at the most important clients
and projects that contributed to UTI s evolution to the company it is now.

1993 - PRESENT
Cernavoda
Nuclear Power Plant
The Cernavoda Power Plant is unique in Romania
and so is the security solution developed and
implemented by UTI for this nationally strategic
site.
The security project started in 1994 with the
implementation of a security system for Unit 1.
In 2001, the implemented security system
was updated and improved, while a protection
system for the Burnt Fuel Warehouse was
implemented.
Between 2004 and 2007, the physical security
system developed for Unit 1 was extended and
improved in view of the integration with Unit 2.
This stage required complete design, installation
and commissioning services for the electronic
reviewing and CCTV systems.

Access control system

After 2007, UTI managed the design, installation


and commissioning of the physical protection
systems pertaining to the Administrative
Pavilion.
The year 2009 brought about design,
installation and commissioning works for access
control and video surveillance systems in the
vital areas. This project is to be completed by
the end of 2011.
Besides developing new systems or updating
the already installed ones, UTI also provides
maintenance services for the installed systems.
The projects developed under the collaboration
between UTI and CNE Cernavoda have been in
operation for over 16 years, proving the capacity
of our company to generate solutions perfectly
adapted to this high risk national site.

Scanning equipment

The developed works were not easy, the


technical solutions were designed after long
hours of field analysis and part of the involved
team can consider the project as a turning point
in their professional formation.
Moreover, the implementation of the security
systems enabled the power plant to comply with
all the security standards in force.

Metro Cash & Carry
The collaboration between UTI and Metro
Cash&Carry started in 1996, when the top
retailer entered the Romanian market. The first
hypermarket opened in October, the same year,
in Otopeni.
In March 2010 Metro opened its 25th store
in Romania, UTI providing high-technology
solutions for the entire local chain.
UTI approaches each project in a responsabile and
professional way and our business policy is fully
rewarded by the client satisfaction and trust.
Our solutions are perfectly adapted to
the security requirements of each site, we
implement state-of-the-art and attractively
designed equipment that can be discretly
operated by the clients personnel.

Monitoring dispatch center

Intergrated security systems

Thus, in 2000, we installed for the first time in Romania a rail video camera to evaluate the risk
situations more precisely, at Metro Craiova. This type of camera is moving inside an opaque tube,
allowing minute buyer monitoring without causing them any discomfort.
Metro Cash&Carry opened 3 new hypermarkets in Bulgaria and the Republic of Moldavia in 2003
and our team joined them to develop the security systems.
ZIP solution

In 2004 UTI launched the source tagging program for Metro Cash & Carry, a project that proved to
be very successful.
The same year we were chosen by the retailer as security partner for its extension in Moldavia,
Serbia and Montenegro.
For Metro Belgrade, opened in 2005, our specialists implemented a complex security solution,
including two revolutionary rail cameras, access control, pneumatic tube system and electronic
article surveillance.

1997 - PRESENT
BUCHAREST Henri Coanda International Airport
UTI collaboration with the airport dates back to 1997. Already experienced in the field of strategic
site security UTI was awarded the contract for the modernization works of the International
Departures terminal.
The project consisted of low currents and telecommunications systems. The state-of-the-art
equipment was adapted to the security needs of a modern international airport.
As the collaboration proved to be mutually rewarding, it continued with the implementation of a
complex parking management system., in 1998.

The novelty of the operational module comes


from the 3 developed sub-modules: Flight
Information, Ground Management, Terminal
Management. Especially designed to meet
the specific needs of an airport, the system
automatically allots the appropriate resources
for each activity: gate assignation, conveyor belt
assignation, fueling, parking airport position,
shuttle bus entry on the runway, etc
In 2003, the airport launched the Domestic
Flights terminal for which UTI provided
electrical and mechanical installations, low
currents installation, baggage and passenger
control systems.
Currently, a UTI team works on the
implementation of a state-of-the-art airfield
lighting system to fully align the airport with
the most important airports in Europe.

Complex security solutions

Runway management software

The year 1999 meant probably the most innovative of the projects implemented by UTI for the
Bucharest Henri Coanda International Airport. In response to the airport requirements, UTI had
developed a fully customized ERP solution.
That was the first Enterprise Resource Planning Solution developed for an airport in Romania. The
innovative part of the system consisted in developing an airport activity-related operational module
in addition to the financial, HR and security modules of a classic ERP solution.

1999 - PRESENT
Metrorex
(The Underground Public
Transportation Network)
The collaboration with Metrorex dates back to
1999 and continues to this day.
Our first task was to implement a telephony
system for the entire underground network.
Following this task, UTI provided clocking and
public address systems, as well as intrusion
detection and fire prevention systems for Line 4
(Gara de Nord-1 Mai).

Consequently, the year 2004 brought about


another collaboration for Line 2 (IMGB- Pipera).
The UTI team had to provide radio solution for
the 14 stations of the line within two months.
The task was completed successfully and on
time, even if that meant working in day and
night shifts.
The year 2005 occasioned a new challenged:
integrated CCTV, intrusion detection and fire
detection systems that had to be simultaneously
implemented for Line 1 and Line 3.
The entire project can be translated into
kilometers of fiber optic, 700 video cameras,
hundreds of video matrices, video multiplexers
and DVRS, as well as a central monitoring center.
In 2008 we provided 4 stations of Line 4
(Grigorescu- Soseaua de Centura) with dynamic
information systems, video surveillance, radio
and fire prevention systems.

The dynamic information system is made up of


displays and infokiosk systems and allows the
access to updated information in real time.
The displays provide traffic-related information,
while the infokiosk terminals provide
information related to the trains schedule, the
fare policy, maps of the public transportation
means, cultural information. They also have a
suggestions and complaints module.
The dynamic information system is part of
the modernization process, currently under
development for Line 3. Besides this system, UTI
will also implement SOS terminals that allow
direct audio and video connection to the Central
monitoring center in Piata Unirii 1 station.
The complexity of the projects is also well
rendered by the array of services provided by
UTI: design, logistics, implementation and
commissioning, maintenance.

Public information system

Subsequently, UTI team designed and


implemented a complex CCTV system that
consisted of local and central monitoring
centers,
image recording and archiving, telephony
solutions both central and remote cabinets
and their connection through kilometers of fiber
optic, clocking solutions that involved
GPS synchronization, information transmission
to the stations and the central monitoring
center.
The project was highly complex and most of the
technologies were a premiere for Romania. But
our team took the challenge, despite the short
time available, and addressed it professionally.

CARREFOUR
We are very pleased with the results of the
systems installed by UTI, says Fabrice Besson,
Security Manager with Carrefour, South-East
Europe Operations.
This statement makes the UTI team proud to be
given recognition for their work and the added
value delivered to clients.
UTIs partnership with Carrefour started in 2000,
when the retailer first entered the Romanian
market and opened its first hypermarket in
Bucharest.
At that time, there was no similar business in
Romania and they needed a solid, competent
security provider, capable of adapting and
implementing its solutions to Carrefours needs
of security.
UTIs capabilities, experience, resources, area of
coverage convinced Carrefour that our company
is the best choice, the only one that could keep
up with their expansion rhythm.
All the 22 hypermarkets and 24 Carrefour
Express shops are now secured by UTI, with the
best solutions against shoplifting, either by the
employees or the burglars:

Intrusion detection gates

Video surveillance
Pneumatic tube
Sound system
Access control

security market, permanently adapting its
solutions to the clients needs and exceeding
their expectations.

Raiffeisen BANK
The successful collaboration with Raiffeisen
Bank started in 2002 and is still going strong.
Our joint projects have grown into a partnership
to fully secure over 5802 bank offices and
subsidiaries.
The physical security solution provided by UTI
covers the whole range of systems: intrusion
detection, video surveillance, access control, fire
detection and extinguishing. All these systems
are completed by the low currents installations
- public address and sound systems, data center
solutions, parking management solutions
electrical and plumbing installations.

Information security solutions


In 2003, the UTI Information Security
Department embarked on an ambitious and
innovative project, the first of this type in
Romania.
We developed a pilot project, based on
two of our proprietary products: certSAFE
-the Certification Authority- and shellSAFEthe application suite for the protection
of workstations. After its successful
implementation, the bank decided to extend the
solution.

UTI integrated certSAFE with Raiffeisen LDAP,


thus allowing users to log into Windows, using
digital certificates and token cryptographic
devices.
The bank also requested an application to
extend the use of digital certificates in relation
with third parties.
The solution consists of several applications for
the main activities the bank performs:

The Billing Application


The purpose of the application is to cash
in the invoices issued by important utilitiy
providers through the Romanian Post Offices,
intermediated by Raiffeisen Bank.

UTI contributed to the creation of this product,


unique on the market, by developing one of the
applications that the card relies on, namely, the
import of account statement files and the direct
debit instructions, their processing, calculation
of the loyalty points and production of the
output files.

Cash collection/distribution application


The purpose of the application is to outsource
the cash distribution and collection from/
towards third parties.
The application provides automated
mechanisms necessary to the bank for the
crediting and debiting processes of the service
providers accounts.

The development of the application was


challenging, as the providers had different
requirements with respect to the invoice, which
lead to the customization of the application
The system ensures the connection among the
depending on the specific features mentioned by service provider, the bank and the cashiers,
each provider.
providing a communication mechanism by SSL
channels or VPN connection.
The first users were: The Romanian Post Office,
Wirom Gas, Enel.

2004 marked the intensification of the


collaboration between Raiffeisen Bank and
UTI, in the field of information security and of
software application development.

CONSTANTA PORT
Access control filters for vehicles and pedestrians, interactive video surveillance system for the
entire port perimeter, taut wire and optical fiber perimeter fence, information and communications
security system, guarding and intervention services, all gathered in a Command and Control Center,
as well as sub-systems maintenance, constitute the solution implemented by UTI to secure the
Constanta Port.
This project is one the most important chapters in UTIs evolution, the site wide scope requesting a
technical concept and a specialised team to match the importance and the specificity of this critical
infrastructure.

Vehicle acces control system

Constanta Port is the largest in Romania and one of the top 10 in Europe. It covers 3.182
hectares (land, bays and port docks), 14 gates for pedestrian and vehicles traffic and 5 gates
for railway traffic.

Video surveillance system

Port view

One of the most revolutionary solutions


implemented by the UTI specialists to secure
the Constanta Port perimeter is the taut-wire
system.

Wireing fence

The project was won in 2004 by public tender,


and its owner is CN APM Constanta. In less
than two years since the work had begun, on
December 2007, the following sub-systems were
already implemented: optical fiber detection
system for the decorative fence and the wiring
fence, taut wire system, pedestrian and vehicle
access control, mobile and fixed cameras for
perimeter video surveillance, plate registration
number automatic recognition, communications
system, intrusion detection for each access
point based on infrared barriers and exterior
motion detectors, power supply, command and
monitoring centers.

<<< GO BACK TO CONTENTS

In 2008 the Operational Command and Control


Center became functional, integrating all the
modules. Within only 60 days, UTI implemented
a video surveillance system for the moorings in
the north side of the Constanta Port. The system
improved the security and safety of the Ports
commercial area.

All the systems and equipment comply with


the European standards in force for a high-risk
site and state frontier. Our solutions preempt
breaking the law within the port perimeter,
offer reports and proof for the authorities in
case of incidents and allow CN APM Constanta
to manage the port operators activities more
adequately.

Since January 2009, UTI has been providing


service and maintenance for the equipment that
is part of the Constanta Port Perimeter Security
System.

2006 - PRESENT
URBAN REHABILITATION

AIRPORT MODERNIZATION

MUNICIPALITY OF CRAIOVA

In the beginning, UTI was known for the security systems expertise, but, we have already started to
be a reputable name in urban construction and landscaping.
The first impressive project is the modernization and rehabilitation of the civil center of the
municipality of Craiova. Our task was a challenging one, as we had to preserve the city charm given
by a mix of old buildings, parks, pedestrian walkways, cultural sites, restaurants, boutiques.
Started in 2006, the project was completed within a year and consisted of: artesian and laser
fountains, street lighting, public information and addressing systems, water networks, landscaping.
The main attraction of the project is the artesian fountains assembly the aquatic show is
performed in 7 different colors, while video projections and lasers effects can be performed on the
water screen. The show choreography is computer-operated and is accompanied by a soundtrack.

CLUJ NAPOCA
INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT

The Cluj-Napoca International Airport was


a complex and challenging project for our
team, involving many UTI companies and
extensive works. The installations and security
concepts provided by our specialists for the
Departures and Arrivals terminals were based
on high technology equipment and innovative
solutions. The Cluj-Napoca International Airport
Departures Terminal allows processing over
1,500,000 passengers per year, while the
Arrivals Terminal can facilitate access for more
than 300 passengers per hour.
Our specialists implemented medium currents
installations, exterior tracks, thermal, ventilation
and plumbing installations, low currents, access
control systems, fire detection and passenger
information solutions. Within the Departures
Terminal, UTI also installed baggage and
passengers control systems, improving the
security level within the airport.

Integrated installations
Urban furniture

We also set up a power station and erected the


connection building between the two terminals.
Overall, the Cluj-Napoca International Airport
project meant 880 days and sometimes nights
of hard work, 50 kilometers of pipes, 180
kilometers of electrical cables and a 29,000sqm
built and fully equipped surface.

This good collaboration will continue in the


years to come, as UTI won a contract to build
a parking lot and a hotel within the airport.
The construction will be financed by UTI
and represents an efficient public-private
partnership.

OUR HISTORY IN ... MAJOR CLIENTS


2007 - PRESENT
The Public Transportation
Company of Bucharest (RATB)
UTI joined the local public transportation
company in Bucharest in providing the citizens
with better, more reliable and comfortable
public transportation conditions.
Our contribution consisted of developing an
automated fare collection system, able to
integrate all the public transportation services
in Bucharest. The main aim was to provide a
flexible faring policy that meets the passengers
needs.
Conceived as a multi-operator solution, it
currently integrates the RATB vehicle with
the Metrorex (the Underground Public
Transportation Network) trains, but it also allows
the integration of six other operators.

Public transportation bus

The system security concept integrates, besides the card security features, strong security features
based on a PKI infrastructure (digital signature, data encryption) for the Back-Office processed data.
The Bucharest implementation in figures
The largest implementation of a full contactless system in Eastern Europe, as RATB is one of the
largest public transportation operators in Eastern Europe.
Within five months, the number of cards sold in Bucharest exceeded 300,000 and currently more
than 500,000 cards are in use.
7,500 validators were installed on 2,100 vehicles, in 22 depots, as well as in 45 underground
stations.
103 card issuance centers were set up.
200 sales kiosks are curently operating.
10 cashier offices were estabilished.

Automated fare collection system

Our collaboration continued and, after having successfully implemented the automated fare
collection system and launched the Activ card for the public transportation company in Bucharest, in
2009 UTI developed a solution to recharge the Active cards on line or via ATMs.
UTI also developed a portal http://online.ratb.ro, based on state-of-the art technology and with a
user-friendly and intuitive interface.

The decision brought more changes and evolution, as well as a further diversification of
the UTI activities. The following two years were marked by continuous collaborations
with important clients and by extending the contracts under development. In 2003
we developed the first major security information solutions project for Raiffeisen
Bank. This project brought about recognition for UTI s proprietary PKI-based
information security solutions and products and for the young and dedicated team that
developed them. This was the first step towards positioning UTI as the sole Romanian
developer and provider of information security solutions, a position consolidated by
subsequent projects. The same team provided the PKI-based infrastructure for the
user authentication into the communication network of the Special Telecommunications Service. In 2004, UTI embarked on an
ambitious project to secure the Port of Constanta, part of the Romanian border. The high-risk site needed state-of-the-art physical
and information security solutions. UTI was able to provide all that in a very short time span, while one of UTI companies, namely UTI
Communications Systems, became the telecommunications provider for the Port and the Port Authorities. Also in 2004 we started
the collaboration with the reputed American company Lockheed Martin for the execution of the Gap Filler radar, a project still under
development. The competencies of the information security department were once again acknowledged by the project developed for
Mobifon, at present Vodafone. The Installations and Construction business line completed the installations for Charles de Gaulle Plaza,
the biggest office building in Bucharest. 2005 was another milestone in our evolution as the prestigious AIG Global Emerging Markets
Fund II considered that UTI was a strong and stable company with high development potential and decided to invest in our company.
This allowed the company to invest in new business lines and to consolidate the existing ones. With respect to the technological
projects, mention should be made of another innovative project: the Automated Fare Collection Systems for the Public Transportation
Company of Bucharest. The software at the core of the entire system is developed by our specialists and can be customized to meet
any request. Consequently to the ambitious projects developed for major players, in 2006 the top management made the decision to
create a company dedicated to information security solutions, certSIGN. The decision proved to be an excellent one, as in the years to
come the company embarked on innovative and daring projects: the provision of tachograph cards for the drivers in Romania (2007),
Bulgaria (2008) and Ukraine (2010), the securing of the information and telecommunications network of the Romanian Ministry of
Administration and Interior to comply with the Schengen regulations in force (2009-2010), the e-invoincing and e-archiving service
for various institutions and companies (2009), the electronic vignette (2010), to name just a few. In 2007, Pro Engineering, a UTI
company, was founded to take over the research and development competencies of all UTI business lines. The year 2007 was one of
pioneering activities for UTI:, when two new business lines were created: urban centers design and rehabilitation the first such project
was developed for the Municipality of Craiova, traffic management solutions - a specialized traffic-solutions company (Rassco Traffic)
was bought and transformed into UTI Traffic Management, that soon became national leader in its field. It also started developing
the Bucharest Traffic Management System. The airport solutions business line bloomed, as we started projects for three important
airports: The International Airport of Sibiu, the Traian Vuia International Airport of Cluj-Napoca and the Aurel Vlaicu International Airport of
Baneasa. 2008 was a year of further internal reorganization: UTI took over the Institute of Research and Design for Production Facilities and
turned it into an excellence center for military and security research and engineering. The Bucharest Traffic Management System was
completed and is fully operational. We made another step towards urban modernization in Bucharest, as we started to develop
another innovative project: NetCity the underground metropolitan communications network, a project currently under development.
