           Intec Telecom Systems acquires South African reseller

London, 6 August, 2002: On 31 July 2002, Independent Technology Systems Limited,
a wholly owned subsidiary company of Intec Telecom Systems PLC ("Intec")
(ITL.L), a global provider of operations support systems, has agreed to acquire
its current distribution partner in South Africa, Interconnexxion Africa (Pty)
Ltd ("Interconnexxion"). The consideration amounts to £209,000, which will be
satisfied by the issue of 822,835 new ordinary shares of 1p each. Pursuant to
the agreement Intec has acquired all assets of Interconnexxion, including
customer licensing and support contracts and equipment. Interconnexxion has an
outstanding loan of £351,000 which Intec has agreed to satisfy by the issue of
1,381,890 new ordinary shares of 1p each. In 2001, sales in Africa contributed
£814,000 to Intec's total 2001 turnover of £39.8 million.

Intec will apply to the UK Listing Authority and the London Stock Exchange for
(i) admission to the Official List of the UKLA and (ii) trading on the London
Stock Exchange's markets for listed securities of 2,204,725 new ordinary shares
of 1p each. It is expected that admission of these shares will become effective
on 9th August 2002.

Kevin Adams, Intec's CEO commented: "Africa is a region with high growth
potential in telecommunications, particularly in the wireless sector.
Interconnexion has successfully helped us open up this market, but we believe
that we can do a lot more together by managing the opportunity in Africa
directly. We can eliminate some cost, invest more effectively in sales
resources, and provide closer support to new and existing customers."

Intec now has three customers in South Africa, the PTT, Telkom South Africa, and
mobile operators MTN and Cell-C. The new operation will also target customers in
other key emerging markets in Africa such as Nigeria.
