               Hutchison 3G selects convergent mediation and 
                billing solution from Intec Telecom Systems


London, 26 July 2001 - On 13 July 2001, the Board of Intec announced that the
Group was in advanced negotiations in relation to a contract with a leading 3G
mobile network provider. The Board of Intec confirms today that the Group has
signed a contract with Hutchison 3G UK Limited ('Hutchison 3G'), holder of the
UK's largest third generation mobile phone licence. Hutchison 3G has selected
Intec to supply convergent mediation and intercarrier billing products to
Hutchison Whampoa's UMTS licence holding companies around the world.

The value of the agreement was not disclosed.

Hutchison 3G has licenced two Intec products: Inter-mediatE(TM)for convergent
mediation and InterconnecT(TM) for intercarrier billing.  Inter-mediatE will
allow Hutchison 3G to acquire information on advanced 3G services being
provided over its network, including multimedia messaging and location based
high bandwidth services.  InterconnecT will allow Hutchison 3G to bill its
business partners and other carriers for providing these services.

Colin Tucker, Managing Director of Hutchison 3G UK said: 'This agreement
clearly demonstrates the advantage Hutchison 3G has as a new entrant to the
market. With no legacy systems, we can acquire the best next-generation
mediation and billing products.'

Intec CEO Kevin Adams said: 'Hutchison 3G, as holder of the UK's 'A' licence
for a new entrant, has a technically impressive strategy to implement a
completely new UMTS network from the ground up. Intec had to demonstrate to
Hutchison 3G that our technology was ready to support those plans, as a
proven, low-risk solution, and that we had the skills and worldwide support
capabilities required for an international rollout.'
