Intec Telecom Systems PLC 4 September 2001 Intec signs InterconnecT deal with EBT of Taiwan * First major interconnect billing deal in Taiwan since the liberalisation of the market * Precursor to future business deals as company prepares for IP and 3G services September 4, 2001 London - Intec Telecom Systems, a world leader in operational support systems (OSS) for telecom companies, today announced that Eastern Broadband Telecom (EBT), Taiwan's first private fixed network telecommunications operator, has selected its InterconnecT(TM) intercarrier billing software solution to support the company's rapid delivery of value-added, revenue-generating services. As part of the high-value deal, Intec will provide the project management and systems integration expertise to facilitate the in-service launch of the InterconnecT solution. 'Interconnect will enable us to increase network capacity without having to worry about losing vital call traffic information,' says Paul Chang, Executive Vice President of EBT. 'Accurate intercarrier billing solutions will provide a fundamental source of revenue assurance and a solid backup for our network planning and development as we expand the business to include IP and 3G services.' As the world's leading domestic and international intercarrier and settlement system, InterconnecT will offer EBT a sophisticated solution that can be tailored to meet its changing business needs. Following the liberalisation of Taiwan's telecommunications market, the competition among carriers and the demand for new customers has grown steadily, encouraging companies such as EBT to prepare for the roll out of the latest services, including IP telephony, Internet access and next generation networks. InterconnecT has the flexibility to support EBT's new product introductions and the scalability to handle the increase of traffic volume that will occur with the convergence of new services. 'Taiwan's telecommunications industry is changing rapidly,' said Kevin Adams, Chief Executive of Intec Telecom Systems. 'To survive in the newly liberalized environment, companies must have cost-effective strategies to secure a majority market share. InterconnecT will provide EBT with a competitive edge by maximizing intercarrier revenue and facilitating the roll out of new, value-added business services for its customers.'
