Nice to see ITL going steadily after yesterday's generally depressing day.

The company's website is http://www.intec-telecom-systems.com/ and you can register for RNS news as well as events, reports and the like.


I'm holding these at least until 25th November when better than expected results are due and will top up as and when along the way.

Best-of-breed vendors selected to provide interconnect and billing & customer care for next-generation GSM network build-out
Laurel, Maryland, USA/ London, England October 28, 2003 Sentori, Inc., Intec Telecom Systems, and GPNW Consulting (UK) Ltd. are pleased to announce that Nigeria Mobile Telecommunications Limited (M-Tel), a leading mobile carrier in Nigeria, has selected them to provide mission-critical interconnect, billing and customer care solutions for M-Tels next-generation national GSM mobile network. With Sentori acting as the prime contractor these vendors have teamed up to provide M-Tel with a state-of-the-art solution that will help to increase M-Tels revenue, lower administrative costs, and enhance the quality of M-Tels customer support.

We are delighted that M-Tel has opted for the solution set offered by Sentori, Intec and GPNW, said John Bennett, Sentoris President and CEO. M-Tel serves the largest market in Africa. Our combined solution will allow it to have a sustainable competitive edge as it continues to acquire customers in the highly-competitive Nigerian environment.

With the largest population in Africa and one of the lowest telephone service penetrations in the world, Nigeria offers massive growth potential for the GSM industry. Nigerias fast-developing mobile market, combined with its large population, makes it one of the most attractive telecoms markets in Africa, said Dave Baker, Intecs regional Director for Africa. Not surprisingly, competition for this billing project was extremely tough. After an extensive evaluation process that involved some of worlds leading OSS vendors, M-Tel selected the Sentori and Intec solutions on the basis of the companies proven, flexible technology and on their experience in Africa and other emerging markets. Intec will work closely with Sentori and GPNW to ensure the seamless delivery of M-Tel's solutions.

Nigerias mobile market is developing faster than any other sector with the rise of wireless communications and the government's decision to award mobile licenses to several international carriers. As a result, Nigeria's mobile subscriber base is expected to reach 30 million out of a population of 120 million by 2006, compared to only 2 million today. As M-Tel responds to this explosive demand for mobile services, Sentori and Intec will support its increasingly complex retail billing and intercarrier billing environments.

Intec is pleased to partner up with Sentori and GPNW to support M-Tels strategic expansion into GSM, said Kevin Adams, Intecs Chief Executive Officer. With a growing market presence and widely varying challenges and opportunities, M-Tel will quickly recognise the value provided by the Intec and Sentori solutions to achieve greater cost savings and profitability through complete, accurate billing.

Sentori will supply M-Tel with its Sentori Billing and Customer Care system, an award-winning multi-service customer management software solution. Intec will supply M-Tel with its InterconnecT billing solution - the market leading software application that enables telecommunications companies to charge other carriers for using its network to carry traffic and support services.

We chose Sentori to lead this effort based on the flexibility and scalability of Sentoris billing and customer care platform, as well as on Sentoris outstanding record of on-schedule delivery, said Aad Loois, M-Tels Chief Executive Officer. Furthermore, we are delighted by Sentoris selection of Intec and GPNW to round out the solution. This first-rate team will guarantee a swift and successful implementation as well as a fast return on investment.
