Re Contract

Intec Telecom Systems PLC 2 July 2002 Logica and Intec provide billing solution to Smartcom PCS, Chile's mobile operator Santiago/Atlanta - (July 2nd, 2002) - Intec Telecom Systems, a global provider of operations support systems (OSS) for fixed, wireless and IP/next generation networks, and Logica, the global solutions company, have jointly sold Intec's Inter-mediatETM solution to mobile operator Smartcom PCS in Chile. Inter-mediatE enables telecoms companies to collect, process and distribute network traffic information to all other downstream systems, including billing. The solution will assist Smartcom PCS with its business expansion across Chile, one of the fastest mobile markets in America. Christian Ojeda Madrid, MIS development manager at Smartcom pcs said: "The Inter-mediatE solution is replacing Telconet from SchlumbergerSema. We have had some compatibility issues between our current system and our other IT solutions, and with Logica's help have conducted careful analyses of the Inter-mediatE product to ensure that it is the scalable and flexible solution we are looking for. We are confident that the combination of Intec's product expertise and Logica's leading consulting and implementation experience will prepare us for the major changes and growth ahead." Founded in 1998, Smartcom PCS operates a nationwide mobile wireless system in Chile. It was the first carrier in the country to introduce prepaid services with per-second billing and the only wireless carrier to eliminate domestic long-distance charges entirely, pricing each call as a local call. It is also the only company in the country that uses CDMA technology, creating the best network in Chile. With the implementation of Inter-mediatE, Smartcom PCS will have the capability to continue its tradition of flexible billing models with future network technologies such as next generation and VoIP transactions. "Intec and Logica have provided Smartcom PCS with a solution that meets all the requirements for its data collection and mediation needs," said Winston Rivero, Intec's sales manager for Latin America. "Together we have shown that Inter-mediatE is a scalable, flexible, adaptable and stable product. Smartcom PCS underwent a careful analysis of the solution before making its decision, which included a detailed RFT response evaluation and a successful site visit by a multidisciplinary team. By selecting Inter-mediatE as its preferred mediation platform, Smartcom PCS will gain the opportunity to maximise revenue streams while meeting the needs of a new generation of wireless users in Chile." "This agreement combines Logica's proven expertise in consulting and systems integration with both Logica's and Intec's expertise in OSS solutions," said Intec's CEO, Kevin Adams said. "Logica's support for our product reinforces Inte'cs position as a leader in convergent mediation, taking us into an important new market. Through the use of Inter-mediatE, Smartcom PCS will acquire the speed and flexibility it needs to introduce a variety of services to Chile's fast-moving market, thereby securing a competitive advantage over other mobile companies."
