Algeria's leading GSM operator OTA signs multi-million dollar billing software
agreement with Intec

London, 8 June 2004: Algeria's leading mobile operator, Orascom Telecom (OTA),
has signed a contract with Intec Telecom Systems, a global provider of
Operations Support Systems (OSS) for fixed, wireless, IP and next generation
networks. Under the term of the agreement, which is valued at over US$2 million,
Intec will supply OTA with its InterconnecT(TM) billing and Inter-mediatE(TM)
convergent mediation solutions to enable the GSM operator to effectively manage
intercarrier billing and settlement. The deal is the third large contract Intec
has announced in Africa this year, providing further evidence of the continent's
growing demand for OSS solutions as well as Intec's leading position in this
large telecoms market.

InterconnecT, the world's leading intercarrier billing system, will offer OTA
the capability to handle the growing volume of network traffic generated by new
mobile and fixed line intercarrier partnerships. Inter-mediatE, a carrier-grade
convergent mediation solution, will support the InterconnecT system by
delivering a platform that can collect and process usage information from OTA's
entire network. This will be performed by gathering raw data from switches,
routers and servers and transforming it into detailed, accurate billing
information.

"Our contract win in Algeria is significant for a number of reasons," explains
Kevin Adams, Intec's CEO.  "It positions Intec as one of the key OSS players in
Africa, a continent which has many of the world's dynamic telecoms markets.
Secondly, securing a deal with Orascom Telecom group, one of the region's most
influential communications players, bodes well for securing further business
opportunities in other countries where the company operates. Intec is therefore
committed to providing the best possible service to Orascom's operations in
Algeria, and to building a successful and long term relationship with the
telecoms group."

The implementation of two Intec solutions at OTA highlights a growing trend
among operators in developing markets: "Intec is benefiting from a strong OSS
replacement market," adds Intec's Christian Ciupek. "Once again Intec has been
selected by leading operators to upgrade their legacy billing systems with our
cutting edge technology.
