4 October 2001

Intec Telecom Systems selected by Lattelekom, Latvia's largest telecom
operator and national PTT, in million pound plus contract

Contract win underlines Intec's continuing expansion into Eastern Europe

October 4, 2001 - Intec Telecom Systems plc (LSE: ITL), a major provider of
telecoms Operations Support Systems ('OSS'), has signed an agreement with
Lattelekom, Latvia's largest telecommunications operator and the Latvian PTT,
for its InterconnecTTM billing system. InterconnecT, the market leader in
inter-carrier billing and settlement systems, will secure significant market
share retention for Lattelekom as it prepares for deregulation of the Latvian
telecoms industry at the beginning of 2003. The agreement fuels Intec's global
business strategy as it provides another entry to Eastern Europe. Intec also
has the Polish and Hungarian PTTs as customers as well as a number of mobile
carriers in the region.

'InterconnecT is an integral investment for our plans to achieve a maximum
level of revenue through competitive services and efficient interconnect
management in the open market', says Leena Suhonen, CEO, from Lattelekom. 'The
successful delivery of the system will encourage cost-savings through
inter-carrier billing, providing us with more revenue to invest in services
and infrastructure changes.'

InterconnecT is designed to offer the flexibility and scalability to support
this modernisation and the increasingly complex range of services that
Lattelekom will offer its customers to remain competitive in an open economy.
With proven PTT-level performance and scalability, InterconnecT will also be
able to deal with the company's growing call volumes.


'Latvia's rising demand for modernisation and new telecoms services makes it
one of the most attractive markets in the Baltic region. Our contract with
Lattelekom illustrates the demand that exists throughout Eastern Europe for
products which maximise telecoms network revenues,' says Kevin Adams, CEO of
Intec. 'This PTT agreement is very important to us and we will work closely
with Lattelekom to ensure the successful deployment of InterconnecT in this
new market.'
